FIFA 22 bans its biggest streamer live on Twitch – He is completely horrified

Twitch streamer Castro_1201 is known for its excessive streams in FIFA 22. Now, during a stream, of all things, he received the news that he had been banned from the transfer market in Ultimate Team – which he didn’t know what to do with at first.

Who is this about? Edwin “Castro_1021” Castro is probably the biggest streamer in FIFA. With 3.3 million followers on Twitch, he leads the ranking of the “FIFA streamers with the most followers” ​​on Twitchmetrics.

In the last 30 days he has also been at the top in the categories “Most Watched”, “Fastest Growing” and “Highest Peak Viewership”. Only in “Most Popular” is it in second place – only overtaken by the official FIFA 22 channel (via Twitchmetrics).

He was also the host of the official EA-FIFA show “Face-Off”, which also featured stars like Trevor Noah and Jason Sudeikis.

The news that Castro has now been banned from the transfer market in FIFA 22 was all the more surprising. And that also live in the stream.

Castro conceded Transfermarkt ban – “That must be a mistake”

That happened: On Twitch you could follow live how Castro was trying to hang around on the transfer market when he suddenly received error messages. “There is a problem communicating with the servers”, it says, when suddenly the message pops up: “Account at Risk”.

In the message, the streamer is accused of “Coin Distribution”, ie the unlawful trade or movement of coins. Therefore, his account is now permanently blocked for the FUT transfer market. That means: You can neither buy nor sell player cards.

Castro first reacts to this with a long drawn-out “Whaaaaaaaaat?” His horror can be clearly seen in him:

He wonders how it came about: “Permanently banned? I just pocketed 300,000 FIFA Points on Black Friday and you think I’m giving out coins ?! ” Sums that are not unusual for Castro: Like many other FIFA streamers, he is known for pack opening videos, in which a lot of money can flow. For the TOTY event in FIFA 20, for example, he invested a good 800,000 FIFA Points – which corresponds to around 6,700 euros.

As a result, he looks for an explanation: “That must be a mistake,” he says, and then comes up with the idea that it could have something to do with so-called “red picks”.

Was sind “Red Picks”? These are actually non-tradable Weekend League rewards. But at the beginning of the FIFA season there were faulty cards that could be sold on the transfer market. Castro had grabbed it – and then sold it again at a high price. “Is that because I bought Red Players? That’s your mistake. You made them exchangeable, ”he says.

In addition, he sold all tradable cards from his club on the same day, according to Castro. Accordingly, he received many coins in one fell swoop – and now suspects that this could have been the trigger.

Players have reported in the past that they have received such a ban after particularly heavy transfers that contained a lot of coins. Now players assume that this also happened to Castro. The official justification does not go into detail apart from the accusation “Coin Distribution”.

That’s why Castro thinks the spell is a dud: “That must be a mistake. You literally saw everything I did over the weekend during the Black Friday promo. In the stream, everything was in the stream, ”says Castro:“ Everything we’ve ever done on this account is on the stream. ”

Whether Castro will remain banned or the ban will be lifted should be seen in the next few hours or days. We’ll keep you up to date at MeinMMO.

In any case, Castro complains in the stream that the ban will come at the beginning of the team-of-the-group stage event. Here we show you what awaits you in the TOTGS event.
