Who is Adin Ross? Everything to know about the divisive Twitch star

Love him or hate him, Adin Ross is kind of a big deal.

Adin Ross is one of the most recognizable names on Twitch, although not always for the best reasons. He’s been banned from the platform five times between 2020 and 2022, although it hasn’t always been his fault.

He also hosts sponsored gambling streams and, as of late, has invited controversial internet personalities like Andrew Tate onto his stream for content, which doesn’t sit well with many people, including streamers.

He’s also done some positive things like donating thousands of dollars to a streamer with brain cancer and reportedly bailing fellow streamer IShowSpeed out of jail after he got swatted on stream on Aug. 8, 2022, however.

Either way, the division surrounding him hasn’t slowed down his momentum. Adin Ross started streaming in 2019. During his first two years, he focused on streaming NBA2K and GTA V almost exclusively.

Things changed in 2021 when he pivoted into Just Chatting streams, which comprise most of his content today. He still, however, dives back into NBA2K and GTA V occasionally and plays other games too.
