xQc appears alongside 2 operators in the sources we could read. A partnership means the operator is paying for that visibility. It tells you nothing about whether the casino is good for you, and nothing at all about the odds you will face, which are set by the game's return to player and are identical whether or not a streamer is sponsored. On-screen balances cannot be audited, and casino streamers' bankrolls are frequently supplied by the operator.
Disclosed gambling losses. xQc has said publicly that he wagered over $3.6 billion across more than 1.34 million bets on Stake, and when asked whether his net losses were eight- or nine-figure, answered that they were 'over $100 million'. He has previously acknowledged losing $1.8 million in a single month.

Streamed sessions are entertainment produced under a commercial contract. Bankrolls are often provided by the operator, losing sessions are edited out or simply not clipped, and the highlight you saw was selected from hundreds of hours. The return-to-player figure of the game is the only number that describes what happens to your money over time.
