Is RaKai really banned from Twitch for two years? Platform provides clarification

Twitch has issued a statement regarding the recent ban issued to popular streamer RaKai, stating that the two-year suspension period displayed on his dashboard was a "visual bug." For those unaware, RaKai made headlines on December 3, 2025, when the content creator got banned for the fourth time from the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform.

The 16-year-old eventually shared a screenshot of his Twitch dashboard on X, showing that he received a notification stating that his channel had been suspended for 730 days for "illegal activities":

"Illegal Activities. Date Received: Dec 2, 2025. 730 Day Suspension. Ends on: Dec 2, 2027. Your account has been suspended for 730 days. Access to your account will be automatically restored after the suspension is served. 730 Day Expiration. This violation will expire from your account on Dec 2, 2027. Until then, you may receive escalated consequences if you commit another similar violation. No Ads. Ends on: December 31, 2027. If you are a streamer whose account is eligible for ads, ads will be temporarily removed from your account until Dec 31, 2027. Reason, Illegal Activities. Where the violation occured, VOD."

Later that day, Twitch Support issued a statement regarding RaKai's suspension, stating that they were "aware of a visual bug that caused the suspension length listed in the creator's appeals portal to be incorrect."

The platform also stated that they had "confirmed" that the New Yorker had received an email that included the "correct suspension length":

"This was an isolated incident. We are aware of a visual bug that caused the suspension length listed in this creator’s appeals portal to be incorrect. Our teams are working to fix this issue, but we know from our investigation that other creators aren’t experiencing this error. This isolated issue didn’t impact his email notification, and we’ve confirmed that the email the creator received did include the correct suspension length. We’ve also clarified this with the creator directly."

RaKai says he told Kai Cenat to make a "boss call" to Twitch after getting banned

RaKai hosted a livestream on YouTube on December 3, 2025, during which he stated that he called Kai Cenat and told him to make a "boss call" to Twitch after getting banned from the platform.

He elaborated:

"I literally called Kai, I said, 'Daddy, make that boss call, please! Daddy, please!' I set the phone up like this, and got on my knees and said, 'Please, daddy!' You feel me? And the n**** hung up on my face."

RaKai made headlines on November 20, 2025, after his comments about Blaire "QTCinderella" went viral on social media, prompting her significant other, Ludwig, to share his thoughts on the situation.
