Streamer Trainwreck Calls Out Roshtein, Claiming Gambles with Fake Money

Another day, another drama over gambling streams. This time, popular streamer Trainwreckstv (real name Tyler Niknam) has accused gambler streamer Roshtein for gaming with fake money through his Stake deal.

He uses NoLimit City’s global leaderboard to point this out, after Roshtein bragged about winning a whopping $24 million on NLC’s Brute Force slot.

Roshtein’s Epic Win

Roshtein is one of the most popular streamers worldwide, and one of the most controversial ones as well. He made his name known via gambling streams promoted by crypto casino Stake.

The streamer, whose real name is Ishmael Schwartz, has been repeatedly accused of gambling with fake money, which many see as dishonest. Train himself promotes gambling on the streaming platform, but he is honest about his profits and losses, warning his viewers that gambling is a losing game.

The very public feud between the two started in 2022. Trainwreckstv first accused Roshtein’s lack of transparency in regards to profits and losses over a previous period.

In January 2022, Roshtein was apparently up $32.5 million, and only had two losing sessions out of 20. Niknam suggested that behind the scenes, he may be spinning slots for bonus hunts and losing just as much as he is.

Fast forward to 2024, and Roshtein’s stream has skyrocketed once again after he supposedly hit a $24 million win in NoLimit City’s Brute Force slot machine. The news made the rounds once again, only for Train to discredit it.

Wins Missing from NLC’s Leaderboard

To prove his theory, Trainwreck used NLC’s global win leaderboard. That’s something other studios don’t have. NLC records all major wins, and a win of $24 million should show up on it. During a recent stream with Canadian streamer and content creator xQc, he asked the host to pause his game and bring the leaderboard up.

Train then pointed out his two biggest wins, but Roshtein’s was missing in action. Train’s $20 million and $7 million wins on Saint Quentin 2: Death Row, were on the board.

Per Trainwreckstv, all of Roshtein’s wins are fake and not recorded. This most likely meant that he has a promotional deal with Stake, even if they deny it. Later in the stream, Train called out Stake and its owner Eddie Craven. He said that streamers—including him—helped build the company’s credibility, which it’s now losing because of situations like Roshtein’s.

Trainwreckstv promoted Stake on Twitch, until the media platform banned unregulated gambling streams. Since then, such content has moved to the Kick platform, where all the major gambling streamers including Roshtein and Train are.
