Enable PayPal Payouts for Streamers from Belarus with Companions/Partners
Many streamers in Belarus struggle to receive payouts due to restrictions on local bank accounts. While Twitch supports PayPal, accounts from Belarus are often flagged as restricted. A possible solution is to allow streamers to link their payouts to a PayPal account of a legal companion or partner residing in an eligible country.
Why This Helps:
Enables creators to access earnings legally and safely.
Reduces reliance on unofficial and risky workarounds.
Supports streamers who depend on Twitch income.
Implementation:
Allow linking to a companion’s PayPal account with proof of relationship (e.g., marriage certificate or partnership agreement).
Provide clear guidelines in the help center.
Consider applying this option to other regions with similar restrictions.
This change would support creators globally and improve their ability to earn on Twitch. Thank you for considering this request!
