Mizkif Joins Kick: The Least Surprising 15 Million Plot Twist
Mizkif’s move to Kick is not just another “streamer changes platform” headline; it is a full-circle moment that exposes how messy, transactional, and frankly hypocritical this scene can get when gambling money and reputation crises collide.
What Actually Happened
On December 15, 2025, Mizkif dropped a heavily produced Star Wars-style video on X where he fights off three Jedi, gets “saved” by Ice Poseidon as a dark‑robed Sith, and ends the skit by igniting a green lightsaber that turns into the Kick logo with a link to his new channel.
He captioned it “Goodbye Twitch, forever,” and confirmed that he is leaving Twitch behind to stream on Kick, with a first broadcast set for December 17 that comes bundled with a huge $20,000 giveaway for viewers.

Why This Move Hit a Nerve
The timing alone is spicy because this platform jump comes right after serious abuse allegations from his ex‑girlfriend Emiru, which already had people questioning his future on Twitch before the Star Wars cosplay even went live.
Adding to that, Kick is backed by Stake, the same crypto casino tied to his recent gambling deal, so to many people, it does not look like a fresh, creative chapter; it looks like a “when everything is collapsing, follow the sponsorship money” survival move.
From Anti-Gambling Voice to Stake Partner
For years, Mizkif branded himself as one of the guys who hated what gambling was doing to Twitch, which made his September 2025 Stake sponsorship feel like a hard pivot rather than a slow evolution.
He went from criticizing gambling streams to openly saying he would rather have gambling on Twitch than the flood of ads, which was already a pretty transparent hint that his stance was softening long before the actual Stake contract hit the timeline.
How Big Was the Bag, Really?
According to rumors, Mizkif signed a 15 million Kick contract, which sounds great for thumbnails even if nobody outside the emails has seen a single number. During a live stream, though, Mizkif insisted that he did not take any upfront money and just swapped platforms on his own terms.
When you remember this is the same guy who lied about having a girlfriend for months because it was convenient for content, it is pretty natural that people do not suddenly treat him as the most reliable narrator in gambling streaming.
On top of that, Kick itself has publicly said it is backing away from those huge creator checks because they make streamers lazy and unmotivated, so either this really was a low‑ or no‑bag move, or the platform is preaching one thing in public while quietly doing the opposite for the right names.
The “I Will Not Go to Kick” Problem
Back in June 2025, he looked straight into the camera and told his audience he would never touch Kick, repeating “I am not going to Kick, period” while explaining that the platform’s owner “made me try to kill myself” during earlier behind‑the‑scenes talks.
He also insisted it was not about morals but about being able to live with himself, saying that if he ever streamed on Kick, he would never forgive himself, which now makes the switch feel less like a neutral business decision and more like a direct contradiction of his own line in the sand.

Audience Reaction and What It Says About Gambling Streamers
When the announcement hit, the video pulled millions of views and thousands of comments, but the mood in the replies was split between people hyped for more content and people clowning him for running to the “last resort” platform after burning bridges everywhere else.
A lot of the criticism is less about Kick itself and more about trust, because if a streamer can go from “this owner pushed me to a breaking point, I will never go there” to “join the Dark Side, first stream giveaway is 20k,” viewers start treating every moral stance as just another negotiation phase in the sponsorship pipeline.
Our Take: The Least Surprising Plot Twist in Streaming
Let’s be real, Mizkif is not the only streamer to sprint toward the casino light after swearing they were different; he is just one of the more ironic examples. The move to Kick might save his career or bury it under even more controversy, yet from a content point of view, it already did its job.
At the end of the day, the internet does not run on morals; it runs on watch time, outrage, and people arguing in the comments. If there is drama, a bag, and a timeline to farm, someone is always going to flip.
