UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom<\/strong> has acknowledged improvements in Twitch<\/strong>‘s accuracy in labeling mature content following a review of the platform\u2019s updated classification guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a rise in mature audience-targeted content, including gambling streams, Twitch revised its content classification system in June 2023<\/strong>. The platform now mandates streamers to label content that includes mature themes, providing six specific categories: mature-rated games, sexual themes, drug use, intoxication or excessive tobacco use, violent or graphic depictions, significant profanity, and gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ofcom, which oversees video-sharing platforms and online safety in the UK, assessed these changes and published a 66-page report earlier this month. The report highlighted a “significant” improvement in content labeling accuracy following the introduction of Content Classification Labels (CCLs)<\/strong>, though viewer behavior and content types on Twitch remained largely unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report stated: \u201cFollowing the CCL change, we saw an increase in creators labelling mature content accurately. We also saw a decrease in mislabeling of streams as mature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAdditionally, our analysis established a causal link between the CCL change and an increase in creators accurately labelling mature content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also focused on gambling streams, finding that prior to the CCL updates, around 65% of gambling streams were correctly labeled as mature. While the exact post-change percentage wasn\u2019t specified, the evaluation noted a “sharp increase” in accuracy within the first 30 days of the CCL implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twitch continues to enhance measures to restrict access to mature content, especially gambling streams, for under-18 audiences through updated policies. In 2022, the platform banned streams from several unlicensed gambling sites, such as Stake.com, Rollbit.com, Duelbits.com, and Roobet.com<\/strong>. Twitch has also introduced a feature that allows viewers to block certain CCL categories, providing an additional filter to protect younger viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
