About

Tyler Faraz Niknam, known as Trainwreckstv, is an American streamer who announced in December 2022 that he would join Kick as an adviser and non-exclusive broadcaster.[1][2] He graduated from Arizona State University in 2014 with a philosophy degree, before beginning his streaming career on June 26, 2015.[1][3][4]

Scuffed Podcast and Among Us

In April 2019, he launched the Scuffed Podcast, which brought internet personalities together for discussions. He began streaming Among Us in 2020 and won a Code Red tournament on October 6 that year, for which he received the $5,000 first prize.[1]

In April 2022, he sent jakenbakeLIVE $120,000 towards a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4. Jake discovered the transfer during his own broadcast, after a surprise phone call from Niknam.[5]

Joining Kick

Much of his streaming before that move was gambling on the crypto casino Stake, which drew criticism over the legality of online gambling and its influence on underage viewers.[1] When Twitch banned streams of slot, roulette and dice sites in October 2022, he was one of the policy's loudest critics.[2]

Kick had financial ties to Stake. He described himself at the time as a non-owner, a distinction reported by PC Gamer when the platform launched.[2] His announcement criticized Twitch's subscription revenue split and promoted the terms that Kick planned to offer creators.[6]
