Fix: Twitch Won't Let You Sign Up or you’re not Eligible

Twitch won’t let you sign up? Make sure you read this article completely because it is dedicated only for you.

This app is, besides YouTube, the most visited streaming platform at the moment. Similar to YouTube, you can enjoy the content without signing up for the service and skip the account creation.

However, to be an active participant, you need an account. And most avid followers (a good part of 15 million daily viewers) want to join the community.

The only problem? Some of them are unable to sign up for the service after multiple tries. In most cases, the error message Twitch not eligible to create an account appears on the screen.

Luckily, 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.

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 can I do if Twitch won’t let me sign up?

1. Make sure you’re entering the proper credentials

Let’s start with the essentials. To sign for the Twitch streaming platform, your age must be above 13, and the username needs to have less than 25 characters

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 into 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

1. Press on the Windows key, type your browser’s name, then open the first result (In this case, we’ll present the Chrome process).
2. Click on the 3-dot/hamburger menu in the top right corner of the browser page.
3. Select New incognito window (New InPrivate window for Microsoft Edge).
4. Navigate to the Twitch Sign Up webpage.
5. Enter your credentials.
6. 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.
