Britney Jing will “take a break” from Hustler Casino Live pending a review after multiple HCL regulars accused the controversial livestream player of “unfair practices.”
Last month, Chengsi Ye, a.k.a. “C Ye,” accused Jing of owing her money a staking arrangement earlier this summer. Soon after, other HCL regulars came forward with their own accusations against “AllInBritney,” including of deception and collusion in streamed games.
Now, the back-and-forth received a major development on Saturday as Hustler announced that Jing, one of the most prominent players on the popular poker stream, wouldn’t be playing in the near future as HCL conducts a review into the “various allegations concerning Britney.”
Debt and Collusion Allegations
In a Sept. 21 video titled “She Ghosted Me After Owing Me Money,” Ye explained that she and Jing met a year and a half ago and they became friends. Jing helped the fellow Chinese high-stakes poker player get a seat in the Tuesday game on HCL and started staking 30% of her action.
The arrangement started smooth, but the two had a falling out earlier this year when, as Ye alleges in the video, Jing failed to pay her $18,000 from a cash game loss.
In response to Ye’s video, Jing defended herself in a lengthy statement on social media where she accused Ye of underreporting her poker winnings from a June cash game session at Venetian Las Vegas.
“I have no outstanding debts, and I have always paid out my shares right away,” Jing wrote on Sept. 24.
Several HCL figures came to Jing’s defense, including founder Ryan Feldman and stream main character Nik Airball.
But other Hustler regulars came forward with their own stories about Jing, who they accused of unethical practices like deception and collusion.
Aaron Zhang, who met Jing years ago in private games in China, called her a “habitual liar” who exaggerated her wealth to build an image “of a successful, wealthy, attractive woman, which makes it easier to organize games.”
Zang further accused Jing of “unfair practices” that were “enough to be called cheating outright,” while fellow HCL regular Peter Wang accused Jing of colluding against him in a hand on stream (several poker players have weighed in on the hand, and there is disagreement as to whether it appears suspicious).
Others in the poker community started weighing in. Former Hustler regular Wesley Fei voiced his own complaints about Jing from years back, while British pro Charlie Carrel made a video amplifying Ye’s accusations.
Hustler Takes Action
The allegations against Jing received a major development on Saturday as HCL announced that Jing would “take a break” from appearing on stream pending a review.
“We are aware of the various allegations concerning Britney and take them seriously. We are gathering information from the people involved and reviewing the relevant facts. We will not draw conclusions before that review is complete,” reads a statement posted on X. “Britney will take a break from appearing on Hustler Casino Live while we conduct the review. We will provide an update when we have more information to share.”
Though the review is still underway, Fei called the announcement “a victory for the common people.”
“I hope Hustler will investigate this fairly and judge it with integrity,” Fei wrote.
Just a day before the announcement, Jing played on Friday night’s HCL stream, which also included Mariano Grandoli and Ethan “Rampage” Yau. She has lost $162,295 over 995 hours of streamed games, according to Highroll Poker.
