Eddie Craven, the CEO of Kick, has publicly requested Twitch administration to unblock his account. He shared this request on X.
Craven was permanently banned from Twitch in September 2021 for streaming gambling content. He mentioned that he believes he might be the first and only person banned for this reason, as the casino section still exists on the Amazon-owned platform, and many channels continue to broadcast on this topic.
The head of Kick stated that he requires access to his Twitch account to test a new feature on his own platform. Recently, Kick partners gained the ability to stream simultaneously on other streaming services, but their ad revenue would be reduced by up to 50% in such cases.
