## About

Live streaming platform for gaming, esports, and creative content creators

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026. Browsing, watching live streams, and logging in all work normally over DSL, but all payment features fail, with attempts to buy Twitch Turbo or Bits returning a generic error, likely a geo-restriction on the payment processor. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-18 — Verified. Community member verified that Twitch is partially accessible from Syria via DSL. Browsing, watching live streams, and logging in all work normally. However, all payment features are broken: attempting to purchase Twitch Turbo ($11.99/month) or buy Bits returns a generic error ("Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later."). The payment restrictions are likely due to geo-restrictions on the payment processor. Status updated from accessible to limited.

## 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.
