mIRC chat bot not recognizing links properly

Hello folks, I am having a slight issue with my bot's link filter (for
Twitch). Some links (mostly soundcloud, some other websites) are let
through even though they should be deleted. I suspect it is a problem
with the regular expression but have no idea where.

Any help would be appreciated.

Obviously. A website like http://regexpal.com/ is rather helpful for
testing out regexes.

Cheers for that, I'm not really that skilled in regexes and this will
be a huge help.

On a side note, I updated mIRC from 7.38 to 7.41 and the problems
almost completely vanished.
