Why was Ice Poseidon banned from Twitch?
Denino’s Twitch presence was part of the reason he became so popular, which is why fans were shocked in 2017 after he was permanently banned from the site.
Those searching for his Twitch page are now greeted with a message that reads: “This channel is currently unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”

The reason why Denino was banned stems from a 2017 swatting incident, which ended with the streamer getting pulled off a plane by police after it made an unexpected landing in Phoenix.
While waiting for the plane, Denino revealed his gate number, and a troll quickly called authorities to falsely claim he was carrying a bomb, according to Dexerto.
“Getting pulled off the plane in front of 200 people… these people think I’m a f****ing terrorist or something now,” he explained after the incident.
At the time, the event made national headlines which is what led to his ban.
However, shortly after, he switched his streaming over to YouTube to continue his career.
