What can we understand by the term Online Gambling?
Online gambling is the process that involves betting on sports or casinos via the internet. There are various types of gambling available in the market. The famous among them is the Blackjack. If one knows the strategy and the tactics of winning the game, he will have a better chance of winning than a person who is new to the market. Professional gamblers earn their income by performing accurate bets when they play at the live casino tables.
What is the definition of live streams?
Livestreaming is how digital data like audio and video are streamed online with an intention for immediate playback or processing. It is a kind of technology that lets us watch, create and share videos in real-time, similar to TV. Some live streams are public and can be viewed by hundreds of people or even over a thousand people. It provides the users the facility to comment and interact live by posting messages beside the live stream.
As per a recent report, a comparison is made among five major streaming platforms for gamers, namely: Caffeine, Facebook Gaming, Mobcrush, Own cast, and Twitch. Each platform enables users to broadcast their gameplay session, but the only difference is their approach and feature sets.

Conclusion:
The method of doing the live-streaming is straightforward on this platform. One has to visit the streaming community, start watching videos and have an interactive session with the viewers in the chat. The services provided by this platform have also made it available on mobile devices. On the other hand, one of its competitors, Facebook Gaming, is currently only on Android but is coming soon to iOS.
Twitch’s community guidelines make it very clear that streamers must follow the laid down laws i.e. illegal content is prohibited and that the platform will take strong action against the violators of the rules, which may lead to a ban or suspension of the streamer’s games.
Another principal policy Twitch came out in mid-August is that it refrained people from giving links and referral codes to other people, to slots, roulette, or dice games. It does not include poker and other commonly streamed games to provide extra security.
Twitch does not provide the watch history facility, but it offers alternatives like ‘Continue watching’ sections in the viewers’ mobile devices. They also save the most recent searches in the search bar. It is a growing platform as compared to other platforms.
