Ricky Berwick Banned from Twitch, Makes Bold Move to Kick
So, there’s been some pretty big news in the streaming world—Ricky Berwick, the popular and quirky content creator known for his wild humor and self-deprecating jokes, has just been banned from Twitch again. This time, though, he’s not sitting around waiting for things to clear up. He’s already announced that he’ll be taking his content over to Kick, the rising rival platform that’s been attracting a lot of attention lately.
Here’s what happened. During one of his live streams, a viewer used the text-to-speech feature to send a racially charged comment. In response, Berwick fired back with a derogatory term of his own. Unfortunately, that moment crossed Twitch’s strict community guidelines. The result? His account—followed by nearly forty thousand fans—was swiftly banned on November 7.
Fans were quick to react. Social media lit up with confusion, frustration, and even demands for Twitch to reverse the decision. Many thought it was an overreaction or some kind of mistake. But Berwick later confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that the ban was indeed real and connected to that on-stream exchange.

Now, this isn’t his first brush with Twitch moderation. Earlier in 2023, Berwick was banned for a week due to what Twitch called “inappropriate conduct” involving a stuffed animal. Since this is his second offense, speculation is that this new suspension could last a lot longer—possibly even permanently.
But Ricky Berwick isn’t one to sit back and wait. Almost immediately after confirming the ban, he announced that he’d be moving to Kick , where he plans to continue streaming and interacting with fans. Interestingly, his Kick account has been around for a while, but it only started blowing up after his Twitch ban. Followers have been pouring in, showing that his audience is ready to follow him wherever he goes.
This whole situation also reignites the ongoing debate about Twitch’s moderation policies. Many streamers feel that the platform’s enforcement can be inconsistent—some bans seem harsh, others too lenient—and it’s a constant topic in the streaming community.
Ricky Berwick, best known for his offbeat “Just Chatting” sessions and unique brand of humor, built his reputation on being unapologetically himself. His videos have always leaned into absurd comedy, often poking fun at his own personality and the internet’s culture itself.
Now, as he makes the leap to Kick, all eyes are on him to see how his content evolves and whether he can build the same kind of loyal following outside of Twitch. If his fans’ early support is any sign, Ricky might just turn this setback into one of the biggest comebacks of his streaming career.
