Clips like this showing streamers winning bets is just another form of promotion (that's the business model of Kick). Gambling addiction is becoming a epidemic in young people, with b*tting apps promoting any competition." Reddit user danielsan901998 commented."Socialism is when you win gamba" Reddit user WhiteBeardEdward commented.HasanAbi responds to backlash over his horse race b*tting postDuring a recent Just Chatting livestream, HasanAbi reacted to a TikTok video showing him winning $29,550 HKD by b*tting $1,000 HKD on a horse race event. At one point, his attention was drawn to a live viewer's comment about why he was "supporting corrupt horse racing."The Twitch streamer seemed to give a rather sarcastic response, saying:"'Why are you supporting corrupt horse racing?' Because I hate animals, and not only do I love gambling, I also love tormenting animals in general. Like, I'm a fan of, specifically, I thought you were here for Shockgate or whatever, Shocktober 7th. This is my new meta. I am in favor of the widespread torture of animals. I hope that was clear to you."When his fans said that netizens could clip what he said and share it out of context, HasanAbi replied:"'They are going to clip you.' I don't give a s**t, dude. Oh, no! 'Hasan, you fall for these rage-bait chatters too easily.' Brother, that's a 47-month subscriber. If you think that's a rage-bait chatter, I don't know what you're talking about. That's a sincere moral purist in the chat, who's just like, 'You went to Hong Kong and participated in a very Hong Kong thing to do, and I'm going to debate the semantics of how devastating that is, while simultaneously overlooking the fact that you consume a metric ton of chicken all the time as well.'"HasanAbi made headlines on November 15, 2025, when he responded to allegations that he was spreading Chinese propaganda.
