Frustration Mounts as Twitch Streamers Await Partner Application Reviews
A Twitch streamer has expressed frustration at the platform after her Twitch Partner application remained “in review” for almost two years. The streamer, whose identity remains undisclosed, shared her disappointment with the platform for leaving her in limbo and not providing clear communication about the status of her application.
“I’ve been waiting for over two years for my Twitch partnership application to be approved,” the streamer writes. “I’ve been left in the dark with no answers or replies by Twitch.” She expresses her feelings of being “disrespected” by Twitch and hopes that her story will help others learn about the potential challenges they might face in their pursuit of Twitch Partnership.
Twitch Partnership offers streamers additional benefits, including monetization options and access to exclusive features. The streamer’s application being stuck in review for such an extended period has caused her to miss out on these benefits.
Many other streamers have come forward to share similar experiences, highlighting a possible issue with Twitch’s review process. Twitch, however, has not provided a clear explanation for the delays in reviewing the streamer’s application.
The platform has not provided any updates on the status of the streamer’s application either. Streamers rely on Twitch Partnership to support their content creation and streaming careers, and the extended review process can negatively impact their ability to monetize their streams and grow their audience.
The streamer’s frustration with Twitch’s lack of communication and transparency is shared by others in the streaming community as well. Twitch has a responsibility to provide timely and clear updates on the status of partner applications, particularly when the delays are beyond what is considered reasonable.
This incident serves as another cautionary tale for aspiring Twitch partners, highlighting potential challenges they may face in building their channels. It also raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of Twitch’s review process. Streamers invest significant time and effort into building their channels, and delays in the partner application process can be discouraging.

Chad Johnston, a Twitch Partner and host of the Twitch talk show The Hot Stream, shares his thoughts on this troubling situation. “This is awful,” Johnston writes. “Twitch needs to address this and provide a more streamlined and transparent partner application process. Streamers shouldn’t have to wait for an unreasonable amount of time to receive a decision on their application.”
