Twitch won’t let you sign up, displaying a message that reads Sorry, it looks like you’re not eligible for twitch, but thanks for checking us out?
There’s a solution to every problem. So, start with the troubleshooting steps we provided below and we’ll hopefully resolve the problem at hand.
What can I do if Twitch won’t let me sign up?
1. Make sure you’re entering the proper credentials
Double-check the captcha checkbox. If the application informs you that the username is taken (even though it obviously isn’t on some occasions), close the app and try again after some time.
You can also try creating an account for Curse and sign in with it on Twitch. tv platform.
If you’re still unable to sign up for Twitch, even if you’ve met everything we mentioned above and don’t have a Curse account, continue with the further steps.
2. Try the Incognito mode
- Press on the Windows key, type your browser’s name, then open the first result (In this case, we’ll present the Chrome process).
- Click on the 3-dot/hamburger menu in the top right corner of the browser page.
- Select New incognito window (New InPrivate window for Microsoft Edge).
- Navigate to the Twitch Sign Up webpage.
- Enter your credentials.
- Confirm the account with your email address.
Besides the minor bugs which can cause this issue, we’re more concerned with your browser compatibility.
The affected users who dealt with the sign-up problem changed the browser they were using and seemingly addressed the issue.
Why won’t Twitch let me sign up?
- Wrong log-in process – One of the most common causes that lead to our presented issue is entering the wrong credentials. In addition, there are some other aspects that you should consider when logging in and you’re going to discover them a bit later.
- Temporary errors – In this case, you should try accessing Twitch from an incognito mode. We’ll show you how to do that, so make sure you keep on reading.
- Browser-related problems – If Twitch won’t let you sign up, it is probably that your browser got into trouble. To never worry again about this problem, we suggest using a dedicated browser, designed for streaming apps.
What other Twitch issues can I encounter?
Because it is always important to be aware of the most common issues that you might face while using Twitch, we decided to present you with a useful list:
- Sorry, it looks like you’re not eligible for Twitch, but thanks for checking us out! – Twitch users report dealing with this problem when changing phones, Internet providers, when creating/changing accounts, or because the app’s Cache hasn’t been deleted in a while.
- Unable to change username – Many users reported that Twitch won’t change the username and it can be pretty annoying. If it ever happens to you, make sure you check our dedicated solutions to fix it with ease.
- The app can not load on certain browsers – It seems like Twitch won’t load on browsers like Chrome or Firefox. Most commonly, this issue occurs when cookies, cache, or malware are blocking the app.
- Chat problems – Another reported issue is that Twitch chat is not loading/connecting. In case you face it, we’ve compiled a series of methods to solve it in a few minutes.
Remember that these issues can originate from you you attempting to create accounts too quickly, so keep that in mind when engaging in such actions.
Also, don’t be afraid to contact Twitch support when Twitch won’t let you sign up, or if you are having trouble with the Twitch account recovery tool.
