The gap is no longer just multiple — it’s across entirely different industries.

📊 The scale of activity is also massive:
— over 1.3M bets
— ~$ 3.6B in turnover
— ~10% win rate

💡 Key point:
the main income doesn’t come from winnings, but from contracts with casinos and platforms — fixed payments, bonuses, and partnership terms.

🚀 What amplifies this even more:
— a deal with Kick reportedly worth up to ~$ 100M over 2 years
— some streamers in the niche earn up to $ 1M per month

👉 What this means for the market:
iGaming streaming is no longer just content — it’s a full-scale acquisition channel with budgets comparable to top athletes and major ad campaigns.

⚠ Key trend:
some streamers are already considering launching their own platforms to capture more margin instead of relying on existing operators.
