## About

Live streaming platform for gaming, entertainment, and IRL content with real-time chat

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in March 2026 confirmed that core streaming features work normally on Syrian connections, but payment processing is unavailable, showing an empty payment form with no options. A community volunteer contacted the company in March 2026 requesting a compliance review to restore full access; no response has been recorded yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-10 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Kick's support team at support@kick.com requesting a compliance review to restore full access for users in Syria. The email referenced the 2025 OFAC sanctions lift, EU sanctions removal, and included links to the U.S. Treasury announcement and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources.
- 2026-03-06 — Investigated. Community testing from Syria confirmed that Kick is accessible for core streaming features but restricted for payments. The app loads fully — browsing live streams, creating an account, following channels, and watching content all work normally on Syriatel mobile. However, attempting to purchase a gift subscription shows an empty payment methods form with no available options, indicating payment processing is restricted for Syrian users.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
