Industry Analysts
The gambling sponsorship landscape is evolving faster than ever. In 2026, we're seeing a shift from pure volume to high-quality, compliant partnerships. Brands are more selective, but they're also paying more for creators who can deliver real value.
Key Trends for 2026
1. Platform Diversification
While Twitch remains dominant, YouTube and Kick are seeing massive growth in gambling sponsorship budgets. Kick, in particular, has become a haven for high-stakes gambling content.
2. Stricter Compliance
Regulators in the UK, EU, and parts of the US are tightening rules on how gambling can be promoted. Brands are now requiring creators to use specific disclosure tools and age-gating.
3. Rise of "Micro-Influencers"
Brands are finding that creators with 10K-50K followers often have higher conversion rates than mega-influencers. This has led to a surge in deals for smaller, niche creators.
Platform Comparison: Who's Paying?
| Platform | Budget Growth | Ease of Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Kick | +45% | High |
| YouTube | +25% | Medium |
| Twitch | +15% | Low (Strict Rules) |
