I get what the guy above is saying - first impressions mean a lot and this site wants XQC so badly they're willing to pay an absolutely obscene amount for a non-exclusive deal.

I went to the site and aside from X's stream one of the top categories was "pools & bikinis". Granted, "Casinos & Gambling" was higher up, but still, tells you a lot about what kind of site this is willing to be.
