General Information

Twitch Notice Period & Conditions

Twitch operates on a monthly renewal basis, so subscriptions continue automatically unless canceled. There’s no formal notice period, but timing still matters. If your renewal date is approaching, it’s recommended to cancel the subscription at least 24 hours before the cycle ends. Otherwise, you might be charged for the next month.

When you cancel a Twitch subscription, the service doesn’t end immediately. You’ll continue to enjoy the subscription benefits, such as chat badges and emotes, until the end of the billing period. The cancellation simply stops the automatic renewal. For gifted subscriptions, they expire automatically after the term ends and don’t require any action unless you gifted them repeatedly.

For mobile subscriptions made through Apple or Google, cancellation rules are governed by their respective policies. These may differ slightly in terms of billing and refund timing.

What Information Does Twitch Need?

Canceling a Twitch subscription is simple and doesn’t require much. If you’re managing your subscription directly through Twitch, you only need access to your active account. Log in using your email and password or linked social login. Navigate to your subscriptions to manage or cancel them.

If your subscription was made through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, cancellation must be done through your respective account settings. You’ll need the Apple ID or Google credentials used to make the purchase. No other documents or personal identification is necessary for this process.

If you’re contacting Twitch support for help, be ready to provide your username and the email address linked to your account. This helps them verify and assist you quickly.

What Happens After I Cancel My Twitch Subscription?

After your cancellation is processed, Twitch lets you continue using all features tied to that subscription until the end of your current billing period. This means you won’t lose your sub badge or emotes right away. Everything stays the same until the subscription naturally expires.

At the end of the cycle, Twitch removes the perks associated with that specific subscription. Your streamer will no longer receive support from your account unless you decide to resubscribe. The streamer can still see your past support in chat history, but no financial support continues after the final billing date.

You can return at any time to subscribe again. Your account doesn’t lose history with that channel unless you fully delete your Twitch account.

Can I Also Contact Twitch Directly?

Yes, Twitch provides several ways to reach out if you need help managing your subscription. Their Help Center is the best place to start. It contains self-service articles and a portal where you can submit support tickets for account, subscription, or billing questions.

In some cases, Twitch offers live chat support to logged-in users. You can use this to confirm cancellation, check payment status, or resolve billing concerns. Twitch may also provide responses through email, depending on the nature of your request and their support capacity.

Social media platforms like Twitter or Reddit are sometimes used by the Twitch community for quick answers, although official support usually happens through the Help Center.

Can I Revoke My Subscription Cancellation?

Once you cancel a subscription, you can usually resubscribe before the current period ends. If the cancellation hasn’t gone into full effect, the option to resume billing might still be available in your account settings.

However, if your subscription has fully expired, reactivating it will create a brand-new subscription. This means your perks start fresh from the new billing cycle, and any tier or streak-based benefits reset depending on how long you were inactive.

If you canceled by accident or changed your mind, logging into your account and navigating to the desired channel lets you subscribe again quickly. No penalty is associated with restarting a subscription.

How Do I Check my Twitch Subscription?

Twitch makes it easy to view your active and past subscriptions. After logging into your account, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.

In the subscriptions tab, you'll see a list of current subscriptions, their renewal dates, and which streamers you're supporting. You can also view expired subscriptions and choose whether to resubscribe. This section includes billing methods, subscription tiers, and whether the sub is part of Twitch Prime.

If your subscription is through a third-party platform like Apple or Google, you’ll need to check those respective billing systems for subscription status and changes.

About Twitch

Twitch is a live-streaming platform owned by Amazon that allows content creators to broadcast to audiences around the world. Initially focused on gaming, it has expanded to include music, talk shows, live events, and lifestyle streams.

The platform allows viewers to follow channels for free or subscribe to support streamers financially. With real-time chat, Twitch fosters community interaction and engagement. Viewers often build long-term relationships with the streamers they support.

Twitch also supports content monetization through subscriptions, Bits, and ads. Affiliates and Partners can earn a portion of revenue from their audience’s engagement. Subscription options provide a way for users to show loyalty and gain special access to exclusive content.

What Kind of Subscriptions Does Twitch Offer?

Twitch offers several types of subscriptions. The standard monthly subscriptions are available in three tiers - Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3, each offering progressively more exclusive benefits.

There’s also Twitch Prime, included with Amazon Prime membership, which gives users one free channel subscription per month. This Prime subscription must be renewed manually each month and offers the same benefits as a Tier 1 subscription.

Subscriptions can be personal or gifted. Gifted subs allow users to support streamers by purchasing subscriptions for other viewers in the chat. All subscription types are recurring unless canceled manually.

Users can cancel, upgrade, downgrade, or renew subscriptions at any time through the Twitch dashboard.
