Kick is updating its gambling policy as the streaming platform further clamps down on content deemed “harmful and exploitative.” When the new rules go into effect, users will only be able to stream from approved gambling sites.

In an effort to further improve safety on the platform, Kick is updating a number of policies. Revealed in a November 26 update, a handful of adjustments have already been implemented, with more coming in the new year.

Topping the bill, streamers can now customize their chat in order to avoid bot accounts clogging their streams. Now, there’s an option to only allow chatting from “viewers who’ve been registered for a select period of time.”
