On March 29, 2025, Twitch lifted the ban on renowned live streamer Adin Ross, ending a nearly two-year hiatus from the platform. Ross originally faced an indefinite suspension from the Amazon-owned service in February 2023, compelling him to shift his streaming activities primarily to the competing platform, Kick.
Throughout his ban, Adin made multiple public apologies to Twitch, expressing regret for his past behaviors. Recently, he pledged to reform his actions in hopes of regaining access to his original channel. His commitment appears to have been successful, with his channel “AdinRoss”being reinstated to much fanfare on March 29, prompting celebrations among his loyal viewer base.
Interestingly, upon his return, it appears that Adin Ross’s follower count has been reset. Prior to his ban, he boasted over 7 million followers, making him one of Twitch’s top creators. While this reset could potentially be a system glitch, it’s noteworthy that clips from his pre-ban broadcasts remain accessible on the platform.
Background on Adin Ross’s Ban from Twitch
Adin was banned from Twitch on February 26, 2023, leading to much speculation regarding the cause behind the ban. Initially, the platform cited “hateful conduct” as the reason for his suspension, but Ross later clarified the situation during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast.
During this podcast, Ross disclosed that Twitch’s decision was primarily due to his choice to have the Kick chat visible during his streaming session. He described feeling the ban was unjust, referring to it as “stupid”and asserting that Twitch rarely penalizes users for such actions:
“I got indefinitely suspended from Twitch because my Kick chat box was in the top right. And dude, they never ban anyone over that sh*t. They banned me for unmoderated control of our chat. But that’s so stupid!”
Interestingly, Adin Ross had anticipated his eventual unban, expressing confidence earlier this month about a possible return. With his reinstatement, he can now collaborate and stream with popular figures like Kai Cenat and members of FaZe Clan without the worry of disciplinary action looming over him.
