Twitch streamer Heelmike has been banned on Twitch indefinitely and here is everything we know so far.
The 28-year-old has been streaming on Amazon’s proprietary platform for years, and in 2021 his account was a follower bot, going from just under 400,000 followers to over 7 million.
He was previously known for his dating streams Fortnite and Just Chatting before streaming a lot of gambling content.
However, after months of enforcing its ban on gambling, Twitch has indefinitely banned the former slots streamer.

According to StreamerBans, Heelmike received his sixth ban from Twitch on December 27.
The streamer took to Twitter shortly after and revealed that this was in fact an indefinite ban from the platform, although he didn’t provide an explanation.
“Just got an indefinite Twitch ban today even though I haven’t been live for 4 days because of Christmas,” he wrote. “Sh*t is stressful dam. Hope everything gets resolved and I’ll keep you updated.”
In a follow-up tweet a few hours later, the streamer added that he submitted an appeal and was awaiting a response from Twitch.
“SUBMITTED MY TWITCH BAN APPEAL. FINGERS CROSSED EVERYTHING GOES WELL AND WE GET UNBANNED! YA BOY WAS ON A ROLL AND IM GENUINELY PRAYING ITS NOT A PERMA BAN. LOVE YALL AND THANKS FOR STICKING WITH ME OVER ALL THESE YEARS.”
While the exact reason for the ban hasn’t been confirmed, fans were quick to take notice of the streamer’s recent comments about its gambling content, boasting that it had to “boasting he had to “scam little kids for casino deals“.
However, many concluded that his comments had nothing to do with the indefinite ban as they were made weeks earlier.
As of now, it’s unclear as to why Heelmike has been banned from Twitch. But, we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
