It seems tension is brewing once again between Adin Ross and his partners at Kick, as the streamer has announced upcoming appearances on Twitch while suggesting his “big streams” may no longer be a fit for Kick.
Adin Ross has previously claimed to have an equity in Kick, but it seems he doesn’t have as much control there as he might like. Almost a year since his first public dispute with the platform, the streamer is once again calling out Kick for low pay. These latest frustrations are tied to Adin switching the betting partner he’s working with.
Adin Ross’ relationship with Kick has been rocky since 2024 when he first threatened to leave the platform for Rumble after taking a break. Now that his Twitch channel has been unbanned, the streamer seems to have more leverage. And this time, he’s made the reason behind his renewed frustration with Kick clear.

During a recent Kick stream, Adin Ross claimed that the platform had reduced his partner earnings following his making a deal with a betting rival to top gaming operator
Stake. He went on to say that “they” don’t care about Kick anymore, seemingly referring to the platform’s ownership group. He claimed that anyone not directly affiliated with Kick-owner Stake is now being paid significantly less than before.
He went on to say that Kick’s Partner Program is “f—– up” in its current state and made it clear he has no plans to change his gaming affiliation back to Stake in the near future. Adin also claimed to viewers that he had helped build Kick from the ground up, and that if he ever decided to move back to Twitch, he’d do fine there with help from his new partners.
This was followed by a post on X through which Adin stated that he would no longer be doing any “big streams” on Kick. With that, he announced that his upcoming streams with rapper 6ix9ine and Playboi Carti would go live on Twitch.

It’s worth noting that Twitch is very restrictive when it comes to betting activities including slots, roulette, dice games, and more. It’s far from the
best platform for casino streaming. On Twitch, Adin might struggle to fulfill his obligations to his new partners.
In 2024, Adin announced an indefinite break from Kick, hinting at behind-the-scenes issues without sharing specifics. When he eventually returned to streaming on Kick, Ross revealed that he was no longer bound to streaming on Kick exclusively.
This coincided with the announcement of a new deal with gaming operator Rainbet, which also sponsored his Brand Risk project. Adin revealed that the new partner had provided him with a “content budget,” giving him dedicated funding to support future streams and creative projects that would be fully covered under the new partnership.
In 2025, the streamer was apparently offered a new Kick deal, which he turned down. This seemed to indicate that his only remaining income from the platform would be through the
Kick partner program, which, according to Adin, now pays less because of his Rainbet partnership.
