YouTube suspends Hustler Casino Live Poker Livestream

The popular poker livestream show, Hustler Casino Live, has been suspended by YouTube for a week due to issues with advertising partners. While the show temporarily moves to Twitch, its existing content remains available on YouTube. Older videos may also be affected if further violations are discovered.

Reasons for Suspension

The exact reason for the suspension is unclear, but co-founder Ryan Feldman suggests it may be related to advertising partner issues. YouTube’s strict content policies, especially regarding gambling and poker, could have led to violations by some of the show’s ads or sponsors.

Impact on Livestream

After the suspension, the Hustler Casino Live team promptly shifted the livestream to Twitch, which is less stringent with ads than YouTube. However, Twitch is seen as a temporary solution, as YouTube has a much larger audience with over 360,000 subscribers.

Show’s Popularity

Hustler Casino Live is a highly successful poker livestream channel, attracting 10,000 to 30,000 viewers regularly. It features well-known personalities like MrBeast and Neymar participating in events like the Million Dollar Game.
