What are the allegations Adin Ross made against Ed Craven and Kick?

Popular streamer Adin Ross has accused Kick of lowering his payout and has alleged that the platform's co-founder and CEO, Ed "Eddie" Craven, of "supplying" viewbots. Furthermore, Ross claims to have evidence of Craven supposedly saying he can "edit anyone's views" on Kick.

Adin Ross hosted a Just Chatting livestream on November 12, 2025, during which he claimed that his viewership on the platform had been "capped." He also claimed to have text messages from Ed Craven, in which the Australian billionaire allegedly stated that he could manipulate streamers' viewership to "whatever the f**k he wanted."

The Florida native went on to say that people were "blatantly disrespecting him," adding:

"Anyways, I'mma just tell you guys right now, it's probably going to happen this stream, my views are going to be capped. So, Eddie, I'm going to play a clip of you literally saying that you can edit my views to whenever you want, and any streamer, if you don't fix my views. And again, I really wish it didn't have to go this way. But only went this way because motherf**kers are trying to blatantly disrespect me. Like, come on, bro! I really got a text of him saying, 'I can edit anyone's views on Kick to whatever the f**k I want.' Motherf**ker, obviously! Duh! Duh!"

Adin Ross accused Kick of lowering his payout because he's currently affiliated with Rainbet

During a livestream on November 11, 2025, Adin Ross accused Kick of lowering his payout, claiming that the situation stemmed from his current affiliation with Rainbet, a gambling platform that competes with Stake.com.

He said:

"I ain't going to lie, chat, they f**ked up KPP so bad. Listen to this, bro, literally, I got told yesterday, unless I am gambling on Stake, they are not upping my KCIP. So, motherf**kers aren't even caring about Kick no more. I'm being real. That is crazy! I'm sorry. They literally straight up said, 'Unless you're on Stake, we're lowering...' I'm not joking. Bro, it's cooked. On god, it's cooked. If you're not on Stake.com, they lower your s**t."
