Who owns Kick streaming?
The ownership of Kick streaming is currently not known but signs point to the crypto gambling site Stake.com backing the project.
Ed Craven and Stake.com’s potential backing
Ed Craven aka Eddie is an Australian billionaire and the co-founder of Kick. Ed earned his name and fame through his involvement in the online crypto-gambling casino Stake.com, which made him the country’s youngest billionaire.
Stake.com has not yet confirmed ownership of Kick. Job listings uploaded by the Australia-based start-up Easygo state that Kick is a venture made by the founders of Easygo and Stake.com. Stake.com was a sponsor of Trainwreck on Twitch before it was banned from the platform.

Adin Ross and controversies
Adin Ross is a prominent streamer. He joined Kick and earned massive popularity and attention in the streaming world. However, Adin Ross faced criticism for controversial statements and actions. Dream, who is a Minecraft streamer expressed his concerns for Edin Ross hindering Kick’s growth.
The dream also suggested that Edin’s controversial behavior could be the big reason why Kick is not as famous as its competitors. Edin Ross is part of numerous controversies, including making threats toward the LGBTQ+ community and platforming individuals associated with white supremacy.
But despite all these controversies, Edin Ross remains an important streamer of the Kick platform.
Tyler ‘Trainwreck’ Niknam’s influence
Tyler ‘Trainwreck’ Niknam, is an established streamer who backed Kick and has played a major role in its massive growth. Tyler’s association with the Kick platform garnered attention and also contributed to its success. Kick markets itself is a creator-friendly platform, providing lucrative revenue splits and amazing policies.
Given how coordinated the Stake streamers were in joining Kick.com, it is reasonable to assume that the effort actually belongs to the casino, while Trainwreckstv only represents the platform and he Kick.com domain was last sold for $276,077.45 in 2020 and left dormant by its owner. On November 11, 2022, Kick.com changed its Nameservers data, which may indicate that it was sold yet again for an undisclosed amount.
Trainwreckstv is one of the few streamers who talk publicly about their earnings at online casinos and he claims to have earned $360 million within 16 months of gambling online.
According to Trainwreckstv, he was paid $1 million a month at the beginning of his contract with Stake and in February 2022, he said that figure was no longer relevant as he was making “much more.” During one of the streams, he also stated that his earnings had increased to $22.5 million per month now.
As for the technical part, Kick.com is a full copy of DLive, another streaming platform that is popular among casino streamers. Literally, everything was copied, including the images of categories. All game categories were also transferred to the platform, but as of today, 99% of its traffic is related to online gambling.
The 95-5 subscription split, no deductibles on donations, and also features flat rate for hourly streams have attracted creators to the platform. Trainwreck’s involvement is helping in creating better revenue opportunities that have enticed streamers to explore Kick as Twitch’s alternative.
