On April 25, Mathew gave details about his rejected gambling sponsorship. In a now-deleted live stream, the content creator mentioned that he considered taking the deal because it offered him “generational wealth.”
Sharing insights into gambling sponsorships, the One True King co-founder stated:
“It’s not even overtime. 15 hours a month. It was $10,000,000 a year! 15 hours a year $10,000,000 and… I know. I’m not gonna lie to you. Bro, I thought about it, and you’re all, ‘F***ing it.’ ‘ It doesn’t make it any easier to say! I didn’t think you’d say that. I don’t know.”

The Austin, Texas-based content creator announced a special Twitch Plays Pokemon series on December 2nd. He mentioned a return to full-time live streaming if fans beat Pokemon Emerald Edition.
On December 3, the 27-year-old surprised the community by ending the live stream early. He took to his alternate Twitter handle to explain his decision.
Mathew apologized to his fans in a longer, now-deleted tweet, saying he didn’t expect such low interest. He went on to say that it was “obvious” that interactive broadcasts were not popular.
An excerpt from his address reads:
“Guys, I’m sorry I ended it. There aren’t many people who care about it, it makes sense why. The game is 18 years old, so you have to be at least 20 to play it. The twitch community has changed in the past and it’s been a few years since I did it.”
