xQc May Be Banned From Gambling During Divorce According To Court Documents

Twitch streamer xQc is reportedly undergoing a divorce from partner and fellow streamer Adept. Although he's vehemently denied ever being married, publically available court documents refer to the pair as a married couple seeking divorce, which means he may have been in what's known as a common law marriage. Part of Adept's filing includes a request that xQc be banned from gambling, something that's been a hot issue for Twitch recently.

As reported by Dexerto, the divorce filing was combed through by YouTuber Henry Resilient. Adept has filed for a temporary injunction, meaning until further notice, xQc would be banned from doing the activities laid out within it.

Most notably, the temporary injunction requests xQc be banned from "Utilizing funds in his possession to wager, gamble, or play any Games of chance" and "Utilizing funds in his possession to acquire clothing, jewelry, or wearing apparel that is not reasonably necessary to support Respondent's minimum reasonable needs".

While this may seem extreme on the surface - it's xQc's money, why can't he spend it how he likes? - it's likely being done to protect any money or property Adept is arguing she has a claim to. If their relationship does fall under the grounds of a common law marriage, then she could be entitled to a share of the assests.

xQc isn't a gambling streamer per see, but like many of the top personalities on Twitch, he has dipped his toe into it. He bet half a million dollars on the World Cup final and lost it all back in December. Gambling is considered a form of "financial misbeahviour", so it makes sense why Adept would file a court document requesting xQc not be allowed to while the divorce proceedings go on.

Twitch has already tightened up its gambling policy after several high-profile streamers such as Pokimane and Mizkif called on the service to protect at-risk viewers from the addictive and misleading streams. This followed streamer ItsSliker scamming fellow streamers and viewers over $200,00 to fuel their gambling addiction.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night.

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed.

With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target.

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
