Popular streamer Shroud has sparked controversy after promoting a gambling site during a charity stream. While raising funds for a good cause, the move has drawn mixed reactions, with some questioning the ethics of linking gambling sponsorships to charitable efforts.

can’t we keep charity and gambling separate?

Isn’t it all about the money raised? If it helps the charity, maybe it’s not that bad? Just a thought...

not a good look imo... mixing gambling promos with charity kinda sends the wrong message. people are donating to help others, not to be pitched bonus codes or casinos. there’s a time and place for that stuff, and a charity stream ain’t it.

Honestly, promoting a gambling site during a charity stream feels tone-deaf. Doesn’t matter if the money’s going to a good cause — mixing addiction-prone content with charity just sends the wrong message. Big streamers should know better.

I get the concern, but let’s be real — that promo probably brought in way more viewers and donations. If the end result is more money for the charity, does it really matter how it got there?
