YouTuber Jack Doherty 'banned' from the internet after signing contract with crypto casino
Jack Doherty could soon be hit hard in the pocket, with the controversial YouTuber apparently banned from posting on social media, potentially taking away his biggest source of income.
The 23-year-old has developed something of a divisive reputation, known for his prank videos and high-profile arguments.
Making a name for himself with over 15 million followers on YouTube, Doherty has come a long way from finding viral fame with his bottle-flipping videos, but with this, there's been plenty of drama.
As well as being arrested for drug possession in November 2025, Doherty was then arrested and charged in September 2026 for domestic battery, and memorably crashed his $200,000 McLaren while streaming. Doherty was previously called out for asking for donations in the aftermath of his McLaren crash, and after asking for more money online, he might've landed himself in a legally sticky situation.
What is Jack Doherty's shuffle.com drama?

Things started on October 7, when Doherty claimed his $JACK meme coin wasn't making money as he hoped. Saying that he might need to start accepting sponsorship, Doherty implored brands to get in touch with any sponsorship deals. The official Shuffle.com account got in touch with an offer, and it appears that Doherty signed on the dotted line with the cryptocurrency casino.
The problem is, he seemingly didn't read the terms and conditions, with a supposed clause banning him from posting online.
In an iPhone Notes apology-inspired post, Doherty said he f-ed up and added: "I recently signed a casino called Shuffle.com but I didn't read the contract fully...One of the terms is that I'm not allowed to post online anymore, which I thought was a joke but they're enforcing it."
Saying he's working with his lawyer to fix it, Doherty concluded: "This might be my last post for a while, I'll try and be back soon."
Many in the replies said they were glad to see the back of Doherty, with someone reminding us of his post before he said he'd start expecting sponsorship.
Also on October 7, Doherty boasted: "I genuinely don’t understand how people struggle to make money. It’s literally the easiest thing in the world 😭."
Shuffle.com founder responds to Jack Doherty claims
There are plenty of questions about what's happened here, with many thinking it could be a prank to promote Shuffle.com. Also note that Doherty's message is flagged as a paid partnership post.
Still, the company's founder has taken to X and claims this is the real deal. Noah Dummett said that the contract is real, is a six-month ban, and was "money well spent to get this mf off the internet."
Dummett concluded that while Doherty's lawyers are pressing to get the contract scrapped, Shuffle.com vowed to stay strong.
He also replied to Doherty's post and simply said: "Good riddance."
This is the latest chapter in an ongoing feud between Doherty and Shuffle.com. Things started when Doherty posted on September 27 and wrote: “Should I go live on kick and start trading meme coins?”
The Shuffle.com replied with: “At this point we will pay you to shut the **** up."
Then again, with dollar signs ringing in Doherty's eyes, it appears we was lulled into a trap.
Whatever is going on, this is a reminder to always read the fine print.
