Questions people ask
Who is SteveWillDoIt?
SteveWillDoIt is Stephen Deleonardis, an American creator best known as a member of the Nelk Boys and the Full Send brand. He started with drinking and eating challenges, and from 2019 became the group’s giveaway character: cars, watches and cash handed to friends, fans and strangers. His original YouTube channel was deleted in August 2022 with more than 4 million subscribers. He now posts on a new YouTube channel with about 1.7 million subscribers and streams on Kick.
What happened to SteveWillDoIt?
Short version: YouTube deleted his channel on August 1, 2022, he spent three years on Rumble and Kick, and he returned to YouTube on December 24, 2025. Since then, in order: a public equity dispute with Nelk that started in February 2026; the 2026 World Cup, where Mexico’s squad returned the Rolex watches he had given them, under FIFA’s gift rules (ESPN); and a September 15, 2026 video titled “Dear Kyle Forgeard...” in which he says he and Forgeard have made up. One legal matter is on the record: he was arrested for trespassing at Universal Studios Orlando on July 10, 2024 and pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor on November 1, 2024, per Newsweek.
Why did SteveWillDoIt get banned from YouTube?
YouTube deleted the channel on August 1, 2022. Its notice cited “severe or repeated violations” of the Community Guidelines and did not name them (Dexerto). Steve gave his own account on Bradley Martyn’s Raw Talk later that month: he ran a second channel for gambling clips, a gambling site’s full web address was visible in a video, and he promoted that second channel from his main one (Dexerto). He said the main channel had zero strikes at the time. We have not found a YouTube statement confirming the details.
What happened to SteveWillDoIt’s YouTube channel?
The original channel, opened in May 2019, was not restored. After the ban he signed with Rumble in September 2022 to make exclusive weekly videos and posted the first one there on October 25, 2022. He kept asking YouTube for his channel back, most publicly in January 2025 (Dexerto). In November 2025 he announced he had been allowed back (Dexerto), and a new channel under the same name premiered “I’m back on YouTube!!” on December 24, 2025.
What happened to SteveWillDoIt and Nelk? Why did he leave?
It happened in two steps. After the 2022 ban his role in Nelk’s videos shrank; in January 2025 he wrote that he “can’t be in Nelk or have a YouTube” (Dexerto). Then, on February 11, 2026, he went on Raw Talk and said he was distancing himself from Nelk over equity: he said he was given a stake in the company, paid to increase it and had seen nothing back. He returned to Raw Talk on March 24 alongside Bob Menery, a former Full Send Podcast host. In “Dear Kyle Forgeard...”, published September 15, 2026, he thanks Forgeard, says they have made up and says his issue was with the culture around the business, not with Forgeard. We have not found an announcement of a formal exit or a buyout from either side.
Why did SteveWillDoIt leave Roobet?
He has not given a reason on the record that we could find. What is public is the sequence. In October 2021 Coffeezilla began a six-part YouTube series about Roobet and Steve’s ties to it, and Steve deleted the videos on his gambling channel right after the first episode (Dexerto). By 2022 the gambling clips he posted were from Stake, the site in his account of the YouTube ban. In March 2026 WIN.gg described him as partnered with Roobet again, and in July 2026 iGamingToday wrote that Roobet branding featured heavily in his streams. As of October 2026 his Kick profile promotes a different casino, Gamdom.
How old is SteveWillDoIt?
He is 28. Famous Birthdays lists his birthday as August 26, 1998.
What is SteveWillDoIt’s real name?
Stephen Deleonardis. The BBC, ESPN and Sports Illustrated all printed it in July 2026, and Newsweek gave his full name, Stephen Rocco Deleonardis, in its November 2024 court report.
Where can I watch SteveWillDoIt? Is he on Kick?
YouTube @SteveWillDoIt is the main channel, with a second one at @SteveWillDoItExtra. Yes, he is on Kick: kick.com/stevewilldoit has about 325,000 followers and is where the gambling streams run. Nelk signed with Kick in October 2023, per Tubefilter. Clips go to TikTok @stevewilldoit, Instagram @stevewilldoit and X @stevewilldoit. From late 2022 he also made videos for Rumble.

Our read
Ames Create does not work with SteveWillDoIt. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. The handle is the premise: someone names it, Steve does it. When the stunts ran out of room he swapped the dare for a giveaway, and the hook stayed the same size. A car, a watch or a stack of cash changes hands early, the reaction is real, and he plays the least guarded person in the room.
Why it travels. Every giveaway has a second person in it, usually an athlete, a fighter or another creator, and that person posts it too. The ban added a storyline that podcasts kept reopening, so his name moved through Raw Talk and Full Send clips even when he had no channel of his own. On the new channel the comeback video and the open letter to Forgeard are the two most viewed long uploads, which says the story travels at least as well as the stunts.
Brand fit. Honest answer: very few brands right now. The audience is large and loyal, but the content runs on casino streams and very large bets, and the search results carry a YouTube ban, a trespassing plea and a live business dispute. The brands that fit are the ones already there: online casinos, Happy Dad and the sponsors named in his video descriptions. A mainstream brand would need a tightly scoped one-off, and a plan for the comments.
