xQC admitted to losing more than half a million euros following the 2022 World Cup final. The streamer, in partnership with online betting site Stake, bet $500,000 on the victory of France, before issuing several other bets during the match. However, it could be that xQC did not actually lose the amount indicated. Explanations.
It will have escaped no one, France lost the final of the 2022 Football World Cup. For some, the awakening was particularly difficult on this Monday, while others are delighted with the result. Electronic Arts, moreover, can congratulate itself for having correctly predicted the outcome of the competition for the 4th consecutive time. But the most “unlucky” of all French supporters may actually be an American streamer.
A few hours before the game, xQc, the streamer with more than 11 million subscribers on Twitch, said he bet $500,000 on France’s victory. “I have been repeating since the first match that France will win. I invest my money according to my instincts. It will be the easiest victory of my life.” Let’s just say it wasn’t the easiest win of xQc’s life.

Did xQc really lose $650,000 betting on France?
At the end of the match, the streamer logically expressed his disappointment, stating that he had lost a total of 650,000 dollars, or just over 612,000 euros. Indeed, xQc made several other bets during the match, especially during the first half, which was largely dominated by the Argentines. That being said, it is difficult to say with certainty that the latter’s bank account has indeed been amputated by the amount.

Indeed, xQc made its bet via the Stake platform, with which it has been in partnership for some time – which incidentally led to it finding itself in the middle of a controversy when Twitch banned online betting streams. . In other words, it is quite likely that Stake “lent” this money to the streamer, so that it promotes it on its social networks.
