How much does Trainwreckstv earn?

Trainwreckstv earns a majority of his money from sponsorships and lately, he has been sponsored by many gambling websites. CashApp is one of the sponsors for his podcast which is another avenue from which he generates revenue. His Twitch account accumulates around $31.2k to $37.5k a month from subscribers alone, and he earns an additional amount from donations. He makes significantly less from his YouTube channel, at about $670 to $840 a month. He also has sold merchandise in the past.

Trainwreckstv is estimated to make around $385k to $460k per annum, from his YouTube and Twitch channels.

Trainwreckstv’s gambling career

Trainwreckstv has been streaming his gambling and slot adventures for several months in 2021. He has racked up around 450 hours of streaming under the “Slots” category of Twitch. While he has done several sponsored gambling streams, he has clarified that he gambles with his own money.

Many have called out the streamer for inadvertently promoting gambling streams; others have directed frustration at Twitch themselves, for not banning or hiding gambling content from the site where it can be easily accessed by many and thus subconsciously promotes the act.

Trainwreckstv’s friend, Asmongold of OTK (One True King), has publicly called out Twitch for not banning gambling streams from the platform; many connected it to Train. That prompted Asmongold to reply clarifying that he doesn’t blame Train for taking the sponsorships, but he blames Twitch for enabling the content.


Trainswreckstv’s Twitch career

Trainwreckstv’s career on Twitch began in 2014, on the 14th of September. The 30-year-old regularly streams both gaming content as well as IRL vlog-type streams. His last 10 streams have all been a mix of Rust gameplay, Slots (gambling) as well as viewer interaction under the Just Chatting category. Trainwreckstv’s top 3 streamed games are World of Warcraft, Among Us, and Counter-Strike.

Trainwreckstv was banned from Twitch twice - both times were due to sexist and misogynistic comments he made while on stream. His first ban was for 5 days, while his second ban was indefinite and revoked after a certain amount of time.

He is currently ranked the overall 10th most-watched channel on the platform and is also the 5th most watched English channel.


Trainwreckstv’s YouTube career

Trainwreckstv’s YouTube channel was created on the 18th of November, 2015, well after his Twitch. At the moment, he uploads clips and highlights from his Twitch VODs but his main focus is building on his Twitch stream as well as his podcast. His YouTube channel does not contain too much original content and is mostly used by viewers as a refresher for those who are unable to catch up with the entire stream.


Earnings from other venues

Trainwreckstv earns a significant amount of money from his podcast named “Scuffed Podcast,” where he invites a variety of different Twitch streamers to come to discuss various topics on the show. His podcast is hosted on his Twitch channel and is currently backed by CashApp. The amount of money he has earned from this avenue is unknown.

Trainwreckstv has also earned a significant amount of money from gambling although he has not revealed a specific number with relation to his profits.


Earnings as a Youtuber

As Trainwreckstv does not focus his efforts on building his YouTube channel, it does not make a large amount of money. It is estimated to generate $670 to $840 a month, and $8k to $10k a year, which is very insignificant compared to his earnings on other platforms.


Earnings as a Twitch Streamer

Twitch is one of Trainwreckstv’s biggest income generation avenues. He averages around 12.5k subscribers to 15k subscribers a month and if we assume these are all the lowest tier subscribers that pay $5 a month, then Train would hypothetically be making around $31.2k to $37.5k a month. This would result in $374.4k to $450k per annum.

The actual number would be much higher, owing to subscribers that pay a larger amount, as well as the numerous donations he receives every stream. There is also the possibility that Train earns a higher amount per subscriber if he has renegotiated the terms of his contract with Twitch.


Other Sponsorship Deals

Trainwreckstv has recently been sponsored by many gambling sites. Other than that, he has been sponsored by other big names, such as Respawn Entertainment for Apex Legends, CashApp, Square, and GFuel.


Expenditure

Trainwreckstv recently revealed on his Twitter account that he lost $2 million while gambling off-stream. Prior to that, he had won a $400k jackpot on a gambling site while streaming and yet he was still $100k in loss.

To continue gambling and allegedly circumvent the law, Trainwreckstv traveled to and is currently staying in Vancouver, Canada, doing his regular gambling streams there.

He was banned for 5 days on the platform, after the incident.


In 2018, he once again made very controversial statements while streaming Overwatch, commenting on how women play DPS roles in order to “prove that they’re equal,” and “throw games.” He was banned from the platform once again - this time the period was indefinite, and he was allowed to come back after a certain amount of time.


The American streamer won an Among Us tournament titled “Code Red,” also winning $5k as prize money along with the winner title. He gained much prestige for his Among Us gameplay, and Digital Trends gave him the title of being one of the best Among Us players overall.

Trainswreckstv has been a part of a larger group of streamers that have been on the receiving end of a major amount of flak and criticism, for allegedly promoting gambling to their audience. Many streamers, including Pokimane, Asmongold and Cr1tikal, have publicly voiced their displeasure at Twitch for allowing the streamers to keep streaming. Train came out in defense of himself, stating that he has always been extremely transparent with regards to his wins and losses and supposedly shows the horrors of gambling in a realistic light.
