Streamer Justketh hosted a game with her followers on Twitch. In exchange for money, she would spin a wheel and complete the corresponding challenges. One of them was showing your feet which was against the rules of the platform. The streamer was banned for three days.
You can’t do everything on the queen live streaming platform. Last September, Twitch banned certain gambling games. Overall, streamers must comply with strict regulations, especially on suggestive content. Twitch is not OnlyFans, as Thailand-based streamer Justketh has seen.
She had organized a wheel game with her viewers. The principle was as follows: each time she received 20 dollars in donations, she would spin the wheel in order to achieve the challenge on which she fell. Respond to private messages, do squats, dance like a crab… but also show off your feet. The streamer carried out this last challenge without thinking that it would have harmful consequences for her account.

Twitch: a streamer punished for showing her feet
“Twitch banned me for three days for ‘offering sexual content’ in exchange for money”, she revealed on Twitter. According to her, only two challenges can have triggered the sanction: squats and exposed feet. “Are my feet too sexy“, she wonders then ironically. It is necessary to refer to the rules of conduct of the Twitch community to understand this sanction which seems surprising at first glance.
In this case, the internal regulations prohibit the dissemination of content of a sexual nature. And showing your foot for money falls within the scope of prohibited fetish activities:
- Content or camera primarily focused on the breasts, buttocks, or pelvic region, and poses that deliberately draw attention to those parts
- Touching or making explicit gestures concerning the breasts, buttocks or genitals
- Fetishistic behaviors or activities, such as focusing on body parts for the purpose of sexual gratification or erotic role-playing
- Exposing sex toys outside of a sex education context
- Erotic dances like striptease
- Pole dancing or acrobatics with sexually suggestive framing
- Posting, showing, or sharing erotic literature, including detailed descriptions of sexual acts or pornography
