$15M on a Single Gambling Stream: XQC’s Headspinning Earnings

Earlier in the month, we told you that xQc makes $200,000 for each Stake-sponsored stream, information that the 30-year-old Canadian shared himself during a broadcast with fellow creator StableRonaldo. 

Now, the Quebec-born originally known as a professional Overwatch tank player made fresh revelations on just how lucrative his streaming career has been over the years.

In a Single Stream: $57,000 from Ads, $15M from Sponsorship

xQc recently shared that the highest amount he has ever made from ads during a single stream was $57,000. That impressive sum, however, pales in comparison to what he earned from his gambling streams. 

xQc revealed that a single gambling stream brought in approximately $15 million, once again proving just how much revenue high-profile streamers can generate in niche corners of the platform.

In addition to ad revenue, xQc has made significant money through sponsorships. He disclosed that his largest deal came from Call of Duty Warzone, which paid him a flat fee of around $1 million. 

The agreement originally required him to stream the game a few times over two weeks, but xQc was able to complete it all in a single marathon session lasting 12 hours.

1.3M Bets with 10% Win Rate 

Gambling streams appear to be particularly profitable for him. In June 2025, xQc revealed that he had placed a total of $3.6 billion in wagers across more than 1.3 million bets, winning roughly 10% of the time.

His wealth is further bolstered by lucrative platform deals. Three years ago, he inked a streaming agreement with Kick reportedly worth up to $100 million over two years, a figure comparable to major contracts in professional sports, such as LeBron James’ deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Whether it’s sponsorships, gambling, or ad revenue, xQc has made it clear that streaming can be immensely profitable at the top level. Despite the big wins involved, fellow gambling streamer Trainwreck recently talked about the possibility of going back to regular gambling broadcasts.

The player, who, according to a Bloomberg report, received as much as $1 million a month to stream crypto-casino content, also discussed his ties with Stake and its leadership, suggesting that some creators promoting gambling platforms do not receive the level of compensation they deserve because of undervalued deals.

The streamer hinted that things might reach a turning point, with creators deciding to build their own platforms instead of continuing to rely on established gambling platforms.
