What is Twitch Interactive Billing?

When you notice the descriptor TWITCH* SUBSCRIPTION on your bank statement or credit card bill, it indicates an authorized recurring digital entertainment charge from Twitch Interactive, Inc. This billing entry represents a Twitch Channel Sub or Turbo, covering monthly Tier 1, 2, or 3 channel subscriptions to live streamers, Twitch Turbo ad-free viewing passes, or Twitch Bits purchases on the live-streaming platform.

These subscription payments typically recur every month on the anniversary date of your initial sign-up unless canceled beforehand through your account portal. Because users frequently support creators with recurring monthly pledges or maintain ad-free viewing passes, cardholders often see these recurring charges on their monthly financial statements.

To review your active creator subscriptions or stop recurring billing, log into your account on the official Twitch website and navigate to your subscription management settings. If you do not recognize the transaction or wish to cancel future renewals, visit your subscription dashboard directly to disable automatic billing cycles.

  • Monthly renewal for a creator channel subscription
  • Twitch Turbo ad-free viewing pass subscription
  • One-time purchase of Twitch Bits virtual currency
