NICKMERCS

NICKMERCS is not a full-time gambling streamer. He’s a Call of Duty and Apex Legends competitor who did a paid casino detour on Kick in 2023–2024, and now runs a sportsbook affiliation on the side. That said, there’s a ton of real gambling content tied to his name — and an equal amount of fake stuff trying to scam you. This guide covers everything.

Who Is NICKMERCS? Quick Facts

Real Name and Age

NICKMERCS’s real name is Nick Kolcheff. He was born on November 21, 1990, in Detroit, Michigan, which makes him 35 years old as of April 2026. He grew up in Michigan and still lives in the area. He started streaming on Justin.tv in September 2010 before moving to Twitch, where he built his entire career.

Net Worth

How much is NICKMERCS worth?

The most reliable estimate puts his net worth at around $12 million, based on Celebrity Net Worth’s research. That figure is grounded in confirmed earnings: Forbes reported he made roughly $6 million in 2019 (10th-highest-earning gamer globally that year) and approximately $15 million in 2022. Some SEO sites throw out $40–$50 million figures, but those are speculative and not backed by credible sourcing.

Where does his money come from?

• Twitch and Kick subscription revenue and ad cuts
• Two YouTube channels (~4.1M subscribers, ~927M lifetime views)
• The MFAM merch store (shop.mfam.gg)
• Brand sponsorships: 1st Phorm, MyBookie, PowerGPU, MyGamesir, Goat Guns, SCUF, Beats by Dre, Under Armour, and historically G Fuel
• The 2023 Kick deal (reported at ~$10 million for one non-exclusive year) plus a parallel Stake.com gambling contract
• Former FaZe Clan co-owner equity stake (until January 2025)
• Competitive prize money (~$100,000 from early Gears of War, ~$450,000 from 2019 Fortnite World Cup)
• He reportedly bought a ~5,000 sq ft home for $1.73 million in the Northville, Michigan area

Where to Find NICKMERCS: Every Verified Channel

These are the only platforms with confirmed, legitimate NICKMERCS accounts. Anything outside this list — especially Telegram — is very likely an impersonator.

Does NICKMERCS have a Discord?

Yes, but it’s not publicly indexed with a standalone invite link. You access it through his Twitch channel panels or via mfam.gg. Be suspicious of any Discord invite shared on Telegram or third-party sites.

Does NICKMERCS have a Steam profile?

There is no public, verified Steam profile tied to NICKMERCS. He plays on console (he’s known as the “Console King”) and has no confirmed public Steam presence.

Does NICKMERCS have a Telegram?

No. There is no official NICKMERCS Telegram channel. Any Telegram channel claiming to be him is almost certainly a scam.

NICKMERCS Gambling Content: The Full Story

Is NICKMERCS a gambling streamer?

Not primarily. He’s a competitive FPS streamer who took a year-long paid detour into casino content. The fair description is: gambling is a sponsored secondary revenue stream, not the core of his channel.

The Kick and Stake Deal (2023–2024)

In October 2023, Kick.com signed NICKMERCS to a non-exclusive one-year deal reported at around $10 million. Alongside it, he had a separate parallel contract with Stake.com — the crypto casino that co-founded Kick. This is an important detail that Kick’s own head of partnerships tried to blur at the time: the gambling clause wasn’t technically in the Kick contract, it was in the Stake contract. They were bundled.

On his very first Kick stream, he was open about it. He told viewers directly: “Yes, we are going to do gambling streams. We’re not gonna do a sht ton, but we’re gonna do some gambling for sure. It’s part of the contract.”*

Because Stake.com is blocked in the United States, he confirmed he would travel offshore to film casino and slots sessions legally.

What kind of gambling content did he do?

• Online slots streamed from outside the US on Stake.com via Kick
• Sports betting (he was already a fan of this before Kick — he hosted Thursday Night Football watch parties and UFC events on Twitch)
• Physical casino sessions: the most-viewed example is a YouTube video titled “HUGE $1,000,000 GAMBLING SESSION WITH NICKMERCS AND TAYLOR LEWAN AT THE REDROCK CASINO IN LAS VEGAS” — a real-money blackjack session with retired NFL lineman Taylor Lewan at Red Rock Casino

Did he enjoy gambling streams?

He was honest that it wasn’t his passion. The content was contractual. When his Kick deal expired on November 7, 2024, he announced he was returning to Twitch without any dramatic statement about gambling, simply saying the move was “best for the community.” Twitch’s stricter gambling policy effectively ended his slots content.

MyBookie: His Current Gambling Affiliation

Even back on Twitch in 2026, NICKMERCS still actively promotes MyBookie, a Curaçao-licensed offshore sportsbook and casino. His promo code is MFAM. He runs recurring MyBookie giveaways — including a recent $3,000 MyBookie sign-up promotion posted to his X account. He also runs a wager leaderboard at play.mfam.gg, which tracks gambling activity on partner platforms and turns it into a competitive giveaway mechanic — similar to how Stake ran its own wager races.

Stream Schedule

NICKMERCS streams primarily on Twitch with a schedule published at twitch.tv/nickmercs/schedule. He streams frequently on weekdays during US daytime hours, though volume varies. Historical data shows roughly 103 streams in 2024, 159 in 2023, and 212 in 2022.

What games does he play in 2026?

His current rotation centers on:

• Apex Legends (primary focus; he’s actively chasing ALGS Pro League qualification)
• ARC Raiders
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 / Warzone
• Battlefield 6 / REDSEC
• Counter-Strike
• Delta Force
• EA College Football 25
• Occasional Fortnite returns

He still plays on controller, which is a signature part of his brand identity as the “Console King.”

Giveaways and Raffles: What’s Legit

Are NICKMERCS giveaways real?

Yes, his real giveaways are well-documented and legitimate. He’s run some of the largest streamer giveaways in history.

Confirmed legitimate giveaways

• MFAM Christmas Giveaway: reportedly $300,000 in one year, $255,000 in another
• MFAM Gauntlet Tournament: $50,000 prize pool for Warzone/Apex competitions
• MyBookie sign-up promotions: recurring cash giveaways using code MFAM (most recently $3,000)
• Brand partner giveaways: Twisted Tea mini fridge raffles, Beats headphones, SCUF controllers, PowerGPU hardware during streams
• Merch gift card drops: $100 shop.mfam.gg gift cards via like/RT/reply on X
• MFAM app drops: exclusive items for app subscribers

How to enter a real giveaway

Real NICKMERCS giveaways always follow these rules:

• Announced on a verified channel (Twitch, X, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or mfam.gg)
• Free to enter: a like, retweet, reply, chat command, or existing platform wager
• Winners contacted on the same platform they entered
• Never require a fee, crypto payment, wallet connection, or private DM to claim a prize

The Scam Problem: Fake Telegram, Fake Rewards, Fake Raffles

Does NICKMERCS have a Telegram channel?

No. There is no official NICKMERCS Telegram. This is one of the most common scams using his name. NICKMERCS has not announced any official Telegram presence anywhere on his verified channels.

What do the NICKMERCS scams look like?

Scammers exploit the fact that some of his real promotions (MyBookie, wager leaderboards) look similar to fake ones. Common patterns include:

• Cloned profiles with one-character username swaps (lowercase L vs number 1, capital I vs lowercase l)
• Unsolicited DMs saying you “won” a giveaway you never entered, then pivoting you to Telegram to claim
• Verification/shipping fees: requests for a small crypto payment to “release” a large prize
• Fake casino landing pages mimicking mfam.gg aesthetics but on a different domain
• Fake rewards programs claiming to offer NICKMERCS casino credits or stream coins

How to spot a scam

If it checks any of these boxes, it’s almost certainly a scam:

• The URL does not match twitch.tv/nickmercs, kick.com/nickmercs, mfam.gg, x.com/NICKMERCS, his verified Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or the MFAM iOS app
• You’re being asked to pay anything to claim a prize
• It’s on Telegram
• You were contacted out of nowhere about a win
• The domain is a slight variation of mfam.gg (like mfamgg.com or mfam-gg.net)

A note on MyBookie Telegram

MyBookie (the sportsbook he promotes) does have its own Telegram channel for members. This belongs to MyBookie, not to NICKMERCS. Don’t confuse the two.
