Popular streamer Supcaitlin was banned from Twitch on July 25 and fans are wondering why she was banned and whether it might be permanent.
Twitch is known for enforcing its rules unevenly and inconsistently. This can leave streamers and fans alike wondering why personalities were banned, with others sometimes getting dragged into the conflict. Sometimes, though, Twitch does wield the ban hammer exactly as fans would expect.
Supcatilin is a popular streamer with a sizeable fan base, collaborating with the likes of Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker in the past. In a surprise to fans, she found herself banned with little to no official details. Fans scratched their heads over what happened. Or at least the ones who didn’t watch her last stream did.
Why was Supcaitlin banned on Twitch?
Supcaitlin was likely banned for livestreaming The Bourne Supremacy on her channel.
Twitch is notorious for never publicly revealing the reason for a ban publicly, with this sometimes causing enormous backlash when the reason eventually comes out. Sometimes, the reason for a ban is extremely obvious. That’s the case with this latest ban from Supcaitlin.

The content creator livestreamed the movie The Bourne Supremacy on her channel. Streaming copyrighted material caused the broadcast to be suspended and the account to be banned. This is reflected in the notification on her channel. While Twitch is infamously inconsistent with who, when, and why it bans, it’s quite consistent with this.
Supcaitlin isn’t the first streamer to broadcast movies on her Twitch channel. Even the likes of Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Felix “xQc” Lengyel have been banned for streaming television shows and films. However, this is the first time the streaming platform has reprimanded her for it.
How long is Supcaitlin banned from Twitch?
It is unclear what the duration of Supcaitlin’s ban is as there has been no word from Twitch or the streamer.
Supcaitlin is familiar with the Twitch ban list as she has been banned twice before on the popular streaming platform. However, those bans were in 2021 and for “indecent attire” so she was back on Twitch before long. Since then, Supcaitlin has avoided any bans.
However, since Supcaitlin has committed this offense before without any repercussions and Twitch takes copyright infringement seriously, she might be off Twitch for some time. According to Twitch’s guidelines, first-time offenders are issued a warning, and harsher punishments are given to repeat offenders. Her ban may be short due to this being her first ban for the offense, which likely means she’ll be off the platform for three to seven days.
