FaZe Ronaldo Twitch Ban: Fifth Time's the Charm
FaZe Ronaldo found himself in hot water once again as Twitch handed him his fifth ban on October 19. This unexpected move left fans scratching their heads, wondering what led to the platform's decision.
StableRonaldo, a Twitch streamer, became a part of the renowned esports and entertainment organization FaZe in 2022. Despite the organization's overhaul that resulted in the departure of 17 core streamers in May 2024, Ronaldo stayed on board.
This year alone, Ronaldo has faced Twitch bans three times, bringing his total bans to five. His most recent ban occurred on June 27 when he streamed himself driving recklessly. However, Ronaldo swiftly issued an apology, leading to his unban just three days later on June 30.
As of now, the specifics behind Ronaldo's October 19 ban remain undisclosed. Both Twitch and Ronaldo have chosen to stay mum on the matter. Visitors attempting to access Ronaldo's Twitch profile are met with a standard message stating, "This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitchโs Community Guidelines or Terms of Service."
Although rumors suggest that the ban could be linked to Ronaldo showcasing gambling activities on his stream through a casino app, these claims are yet to be verified.
Despite the lack of an official explanation, fans have already begun rallying behind the embattled FaZe member, demanding his release. "Free my boy or we got problems," one Twitter user exclaimed, with another chiming in, "All bro did was play Fortnite with Big Justice." Another fan expressed disappointment, exclaiming, "Not again bruh," alluding to Ronaldo's recurrent bans.
Stay tuned as we monitor this situation for any updates that shed light on the rationale behind the ban.
The repercussions of this ban on Ronaldo's career trajectory remain uncertain. However, given his substantial earnings of $1.2 million from a recent subathon in September, financial strain is unlikely to be a concern, regardless of the ban's duration.
