- Popular streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel recently vented his frustrations after a marathon gambling session that saw his balance plummet from $1.52 million to just over $100.
- The nine-hour broadcast, filled with high-stakes spins on Pragmatic Play games, ended with xQc launching an explosive tirade, accusing the developer of rigging its games to punish him for previous criticism.
In a string of heated remarks, xQc claimed that his losses were no coincidence: “Brother, I’m not stupid,” he said, insisting that Pragmatic Play was manipulating his account because he’d called their games “s**t” in the past. According to xQc, the company was “butthurt” and had cut off his winning streak in retaliation. “Your games are [garbage],” he ranted, “you’re a f*ing loser. You’re losing to every other provider because your games [fell off].”
Viewers, however, seemed unfazed by xQc’s accusations. As he unleashed a barrage of insults – calling Pragmatic Play “morons” and its games “garbage” – many of his fans found the reaction humorous or over-the-top, with several encouraging him to cut his losses and quit gambling.
The content of xQc’s rant was as relentless as it was repetitive. He continued: “Nobody does bonus hunts on your [games]. Nobody spins them. Nobody plays them.” He went on to suggest that many of Pragmatic Play’s newer games had been blacklisted in online gambling communities, allegedly because gamblers no longer found them appealing. He even likened the developer to a “massive disgusting pig cow.”
This is far from xQc’s first public clash with an online casino game developer. Known for his unfiltered style, the streamer has previously criticized game mechanics and platforms when they didn’t meet his expectations.
xQc’s claims may be far-fetched, as the reality is that slot games are heavily regulated, with strict audits in place to ensure fairness. Yet, the odds are, and always will be, stacked against the gambler. For those in the world of online betting, understanding the built-in house edge is crucial, and xQc’s frustrations underscore a hard truth: the risk of substantial losses is an inherent part of the experience. His outburst highlights how losing big can lead to loud, and often misguided, reactions in the heat of the moment.
As xQc’s rant went viral, fans and critics alike voiced their own opinions. Some viewers found the outburst exaggerated, noting that xQc had chosen to gamble despite the risks involved. Others pointed out that such accusations aren’t unique among streamers who experience major losses, suggesting it’s common for frustrations to boil over. A portion of his audience even playfully mocked his claims, with some encouraging him to heed his own advice about Pragmatic Play’s games.
In light of xQc’s unfiltered reaction, some speculate it’s all just for show, fueling ongoing debates about whether real money is genuinely at stake in these high-profile Kick streams.
