Popular gambling streamer Trainwreck (Tyler Niknam) has announced a five-day break after losing $19.5 million on the online casino platform Stake. According to Gambling News, the massive loss occurred over the course of his last five livestreams on Kick.

“I just need to force myself to take at least the next damn week off. Yeah, I lost $19.5 million over the past five streams. I can’t even look at it. I’m in complete shock,” the streamer admitted during his most recent broadcast.

While some fans expressed sympathy and supported his decision to take a short break, others remained skeptical. Critics accuse Trainwreck of exaggerating his losses and misleading viewers. There is ongoing speculation that he may be using demo accounts to simulate high-stakes gambling, showcasing big wins and losses to attract new users to Stake — an arrangement from which he reportedly benefits financially.

SportClan reminds readers that Trainwreck recently referred to himself as the highest-paid gambling streamer in the world. Whether this claim is true remains unclear.
