So all over twitch streamers have been talking about only doing give away's so often.I have no idea what's going on but it's like a new law was passed even some streamers channels where shut down because of this situation.Just a small rant.

*update* Twitch Donater give away's are Illegal* Or know as Illegal Lottery.*

Twitch is going to release a blog post about this situation but can't say it's 100% true.

Why would the government decide what happens on twitch?

Why would 'giving' be illegal?

Giveaway's would not be illegal.

Raffle's/Lotteries where the owner makes money well that is another matter

I don't know what you have been up to today or what put this thought in your head. Have you even got a reliable source for this information?

I can name MULTIPLE Twitch steamers that do sub only giveaway. And why shouldn't the person streaming give back to the people that support him/her?

Twitch screwed up on this one.
