Former streamer James Phantoml0rd Varga has won a legal battle with Twitch, following a lifetime platform ban.
Back in 2016, Varga was permanently banned from streaming on the platform for allegedly violating multiple partner guidelines one notable offense being a financial affiliation with in-game skin gambling site, CS:GO Shuffle.
Varga filed a case against Twitch in early 2018, aiming to sue the company for significant monetary damage caused by his inability to stream. The case also alleged that Twitch failed to give written notice of violations or the contracted 30-day period to address them.
After a three- year lawsuit, Varga announced via Twitter that he has won the suit on all counts, and has been awarded $20,720 in damages from the platform.
