xQc's birthday dinner interrupted by security
xQc expressed his disbelief and frustration on X (formerly Twitter) by sharing the incident with his followers.
He wrote, “Went to the Montréal casino after my birthday dinner to spend some time with my family. Split small amounts to each member so we could play table games and laugh. Security came and dragged me out in front of everyone because of a 2022 Radio Canada clickbait article. Cringe.”
As xQc elaborated on the situation on his stream over the next few days, he shared his conversation with the casino's staff with his followers.
“You guys just banned me. I’m here with my family, just chilling out. We’re just betting low amounts. And I’m getting banned from the whole place and you guys are like dragging me out,” he explained.
During a live stream, xQc elaborated on his unexpected removal from a Montreal casino, revealing a conversation with the casino staff.
He was informed that his ban stemmed from a 2022 article that labeled him as someone "who has a gambling addiction by his own admission."
xQc expressed his frustration, stating, "I’m banned from everything. Banned from everything in the entire province. All the casinos. All online stuff. I can’t even buy a lottery ticket. I can’t do anything until it’s appealed. I’m banned from everything that has a chance in it in the entire state."

Boom! 2 mil! Holy fk! Boom! Holy fk 2.1 mil! I got the Golden Truck and it found a Golden Jelapino on the Pizza at the back side of the crust. It f**king crusted. Oh my god! Oh my god!
