In a September 21 tweet, Kopt posted a series of photos from a room tour and gaming setup video Pokimane uploaded over a year ago.
The first image she included is a simple screenshot of the video. The second a zoomed in image of Pokimane’s monitors. In the close-up image, Kopf draws attention to the content displayed on the screen, speculating that it is some sort of gambling content.

Kopt then tagged Pokimane in the tweet, writing in the caption that Pokimane “probably should delete” the old video as it “promotes gambling.”

However, it is unclear in the image if the content on Pokimane’s screen is gambling. Some Twitter users pointing out that it looks like she is either watching another stream or playing a game similar to Candy Crush.
At the time of writing, Pokimane is still yet to respond to Kopf’s message.
