Every few months the same question goes round the casino streaming chats: where did Roshtein go? This time it came with a story that he had moved to a rival casino, played with a $200 million balance and been banned from Kick. We checked his channel, his site and his X account on the night of 30 September 2026. Here is what is true, what was a parody, and what changed on roshtein.com this year.
- Roshtein was live on Kick when we checked. His 30th Roshtember stream started on 30 September at 18:10 UTC with about 25,000 viewers.
- His Kick channel is not banned. It is verified and has 412,162 followers.
- The channel that disappeared was a different one: kick.com/roshsteins, with an extra s. It belonged to a lookalike act that promoted Duel.
- The lookalike’s X account @ROSHSTEINS is suspended. The real @ROSHTEINS is active.
- Roshtein has taken at least four long breaks since 2023, some with no explanation. That is why the question keeps coming back.
- roshtein.com shipped a slot verifier, Stake.eu support and rebuilt missions in the last two months.
Where Roshtein is right now
We read the Kick data for his channel on 30 September at about 21:00 UTC. The stream was on. The title read “30TH STREAM OF ROSHTEMBER”, the category was Slots and Casino, and just under 25,000 people were watching. The channel flag for a ban was false. The account carries the Kick verified badge and 412,162 followers.
His X account tells the same story. It posted “DAY 26”, “DAY 27” and “DAY 28 OF ROSHTEMBER” with a link to kick.com/roshtein and a Stake username prompt. The account has 153,400 followers and has been on X since February 2016.
So the short answer is simple. Roshtein did not disappear in September. He streamed almost every day of it.
Roshtember: what the stream log shows
On 31 August Roshtein promised to go live every day in September and named the run Roshtember. The Kick archive for the second half of the month backs most of that promise. There is one gap. No stream started on 24 September by UTC. The 23 September stream ran until about 23:13 UTC, so viewers in Europe saw it end after midnight on the 24th.
| Start (UTC) | Length | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 21 Sep | 7 h 7 m | Longest of the last ten days |
| 22 Sep | 4 h 14 m | After a one minute false start |
| 23 Sep | 3 h 54 m | After a false start |
| 24 Sep | none | No stream started this day |
| 25 Sep | 1 h 44 m | Shortest of the month’s second half |
| 26 Sep | 2 h 38 m | After a two minute false start |
| 27 Sep | 5 h 59 m | |
| 28 Sep | 3 h 53 m | |
| 29 Sep | 3 h 25 m | |
| 30 Sep | live | Titled the 30th stream |
The sessions are much shorter than in June. For Juicy June he promised at least 10 hours a day and closed the month with a 17 hour finale. In late September most streams ran three to four hours. On 22 September he posted a $627,550 win on a $500 bet with three words: “so not worth the grind”.
Why people keep asking where he went
The question has a history. Roshtein has stepped away from the camera for weeks or months at a time, and on at least one occasion he left without a word.
| When | What happened |
|---|---|
| 2023 | A break for his mental health. He said he would come back with lower bets. |
| Late 2024 to early 2025 | About two months off. On his return he said he had travelled to Australia and seen a Drake show. |
| 3 March to 1 May 2025 | No streams and no explanation. On 23 April he posted a promise of 100 streams in a row from 1 May. Fans on X asked why he had left them in the dark. |
| Early August to 1 November 2025 | Nearly three months off. He came back with a 144 bonus opening, spoke about burnout after long marathons and said he regretted chasing losses. |
| July 2026 | After Juicy June he planned a month off and came back early. His own words on stream: “I just wanna drink again.” |
His own site tells his story as a list of milestones. The long breaks are not on it.
The fake Roshtein at Duel
The latest rumour started at Duel. On 6 June 2026 Duel owner Ossi Ketola, known as Monarch, told his Discord that Duel had signed an exclusive deal with Roshtein and that Roshtein would deal blackjack. That same day a man in a Roshtein style hat and sequinned shirt appeared at the Duel high limit table. It was a performer in costume. Every report we read agrees on that. None shows the streamer himself at the table.
The character stayed. Through June and July he turned up in the Duel Blackjack Live clips, and several of those clips traded on ethnic jokes and jokes about the performer’s body. We do not repeat them.
By early August the act had its own slots show on Kick under kick.com/roshsteins and an X account named @ROSHSTEINS. The posts claimed a $200 million starting balance, a $300 million deposit and a $180 million single spin, called the biggest win in history. None of these figures was ever shown to be real money. Around 4 August accounts close to Duel said Kick had banned the channel for good. By 5 August the page showed Channel not found.
On 30 September the Kick address still returned Channel not found, and X showed the lookalike’s account as suspended. Kick has published no reason. Kick and Stake share owners, and Roshtein is one of Stake’s biggest streamers. A lookalike promoting a Stake rival on Kick lasted a few days. Kick’s impersonation rules could also explain the removal. Roshtein himself has not said a word about the act.
That is where the rumour came from. Screenshots of a wiped Kick page with a Rosh style name spread as “Roshtein banned”. Some posts even named the wrong casino, Duelbits, which is a different company from Duel.
Alex is a Duel partner, as our money page explains. That does not change what we report here. The Duel stunt used a real streamer’s name, and we have seen no sign that he agreed to it.
The fake balance accusation that never goes away
The parody worked because it fed on an old claim. Since at least 2019 parts of the community have said Roshtein’s balance is not his own money. His loudest critic is the streamer Trainwreck, who is also paid by Stake.
| Date | What was said or shown |
|---|---|
| 2022 | Trainwreck calls Roshtein a scammer who loses money behind the scenes. |
| 13 Jun 2024 | Roshtein wins $28,539,000 on Drac’s Stacks with a $10,000 buy. The same day Trainwreck says Roshtein has an “infinite balance, capped withdrawal” deal with Stake and cannot withdraw “not even 1%” of his wins. He also accuses him of view botting. |
| 24 Oct 2024 | Roshtein wins $24 million on Brute Force. One report says his on screen balance fell from about $25.3 million to $1.3 million before he found the win in his bet history. |
| Late Oct 2024 | Trainwreck shows the Nolimit City leaderboard without Roshtein’s win. Days later Roshtein opens the same board on stream and his win is at the top. Critics say it only showed on Stake or in demo mode. |
| Jul 2025 | Trainwreck sets a record of $37.5 million. About a week later Roshtein wins $45,405,100 on Drac’s Stacks with a $10,000 buy. The streamer AverageAden calls him a fraud who beats every Train record within a week. Trainwreck says he is rethinking his own Stake deal. |
Roshtein denies it. He says he plays with his own money. His site points to Stake’s provably fair system and, since August, to its own slot verifier. A verifier can prove that a spin’s result was not changed. It cannot prove whose money paid for the spin. Neither side has published a contract, so the question of his deal with Stake stays open.

- Slot verifier. Enter a server seed, client seed and nonce from Stake and the tool rebuilds the result. It can scan 1,000 or 10,000 bets at once and replays the spin. It covers Stake Engine slots only. Stake Originals are planned for a second version.
- Missions. Paused on 24 September and due back on 1 October with daily, weekly and monthly tabs. Rewards are Kick Points, Roshies and XP for the Season Pass.
- Social links. The 24 September note says links to his social accounts had gone missing from the landing page and the footer. They are back.
- RoshPlay. His social casino runs on Rosh Coins only, swapped from Kick Points. It takes no real money.
Some details are rough. The site’s own follower counters are behind the live numbers: it shows 399,600 on Kick against 412,162 on the channel. Several version numbers have no public note. Note 2.5.1 is titled April but dated 5 May.
Our own Roshtein story: the Telegram channel we lost
This part is personal. A long time ago our team ran a Telegram channel under the handle @Roshtein. We used it to post clips from his streams and what we saw as his scams and fake streams.
Then someone wrote to us and offered to buy the channel. I will not say what price they named. We said no. The offer looked like a scam to us, and we did not know who was really behind it.
Some time later we lost the channel. The @Roshtein handle went to the Roshtein brand. Telegram never told us why. Our best guess is that the brand’s team sent documents proving the name was theirs, and Telegram handed it over. We were left without the channel.
Today t.me/roshtein is Roshtein’s official channel. The Telegram link on roshtein.com points there, and on 1 October 2026 it had 12,151 subscribers.
What we could not confirm
- Who ran the lookalike channel, and whether Duel paid him.
- Why Kick removed the channel. Kick has made no statement.
- The terms of Roshtein’s Stake deal, including any balance or withdrawal cap.
- Why he skipped 24 September, or whether he counts the late 23 September stream as that day.
- Any big win in this post as a verified bet. The figures come from his streams and his site.
We read the Kick channel data, roshtein.com and both X profiles ourselves on 30 September 2026 and cross-checked the rest against at least two reports where we could. Accusations are marked as claims. We describe the offensive lines from the Duel clips and do not quote them.
FAQ
Where did Roshtein go?
Nowhere. On 30 September 2026 he was live on kick.com/roshtein with his 30th Roshtember stream. He streamed on every day of the second half of September except 24 September by UTC.
Was Roshtein banned from Kick?
No. His channel is verified and shows no ban. The channel Kick removed was kick.com/roshsteins, a lookalike act that promoted Duel.
Did Roshtein sign with Duel?
There is no sign of it. Duel’s owner claimed an exclusive deal in June, but the person at the table was a performer in costume. Roshtein still streams with Stake branding and has said nothing about Duel.
Does Roshtein play with fake money?
Other streamers say his Stake deal gives him a balance he cannot fully withdraw. He denies it. No contract has been published, so no one outside the deal can prove either side.
Streamers bet sums most players never will, often on terms nobody can see. Watch for the show and keep your own limits when you play.
