Perma-banned Twitch streamers can now apply to get their account back
Some Twitch streamers who have been indefinitely suspended from the site can now apply to get their account back after six months,according to a new update from the company.
Over the years, there have been quite a few big-nameTwitch streamerswho received a permanent ban from the prolific broadcasting platform.
Adin Ross, Dr Disrespect, and IShowSpeed were among those creators, althoughSpeed’s account was reinstatedon August 17, 2025, after nearly two years.
Now, Twitch is allowing some permanently banned streamers to apply for reinstatement six months after their ban, with exceptions for some offenders.
Twitch now lets perma-banned streamers appeal
In a blog poston June 16, 2025, Twitch revealed the changes to the sites appeal process and enforcement systems.
One major part of the changes is that Twitch will now allow streamers who have recieved an indefinite suspension — aka perma ban — the chance to appeal for account reinstatement.
“Today, we’re introducing a path to reinstatement for users who have been indefinitely suspended from our service. Not everyone will be eligible,” they said.
“In fact, we’ve built in firm guardrails to ensure that users who have been indefinitely suspended for high-severity harms – including those involving violence, threats, and other serious and/or illegal activity – aren’t eligible to apply for reinstatement and won’t be allowed back on Twitch.”
Users that have been permanently banned from the platform can apply to get their account back just six months after the punishment, and can reapply six months later if they are denied reinstatement.
You can do so through theTwitch appeals dashboard,and canhead over to their support pagefor guidance on making it happen.
