Two years after signing a deal with Kick, Amouranth has revealed she’s making a grand return to Twitch.
Kaitlyn Siragusa, aka Amouranth, is known for her controversial hot tub and ASMR livestreams, which have led to at least eight Twitch bans in the past.
While her popularity began on Twitch, two years ago the streamer signed a non-exclusive deal with rival streaming platform Kick. The deal’s exact worth is still unknown, but Amouranth publicly said it ‘doubled my income across the board’.
Over the past couple of years, Amouranth has still occasionally streamed on other platforms outside of Kick, including Twitch, but it appears she’s now making a return on a more regular basis.
On Thursday, June 19, Amouranth posted a video on X showing the streamer outside a 7-Eleven store, where she drives off in a vehicle which switches from green to purple. The video concludes with the message,’The Return’, alongside a link to her Twitch channel.
The original post for this video was captioned, ‘$38 million later…’ – presumably the amount she earned from Kick over the past two years. However, this post has since been deleted and replaced with an updated version on Friday, June 20 which simply reads ‘Today’.

It’s unclear whether this new version was simply to re-promote her return, or if she got a telling off from Kick for revealing her income (or just became self-conscious about it), but the livestream is set to begin on Friday.
The exact parameters around Amouranth’s return to Twitch are also unknown. If it is a new deal, it will likely be non-exclusive, as the streamer has a huge presence on other platforms like OnlyFans.
It’s also unclear if she’ll abandon Kick entirely, but the exact details might emerge during her ‘return’ stream later today.
Despite being primarily a Kick streamer for two years, Amouranth still has over 6.2 million followers on Twitch. In comparison, she has 265,900 Kick followers.
A number of other big streamers have signed deals with Kick over the past few years, as the platform looks to boost its viewership, including Félix Lengyel, aka xQc, Adin Ross, and Ice Poseidon.
