Twitch Suspends Rileycs After Viral Battlefield 6 Aimbot Allegations

The platform’s generic violation notice offers no clarity on the cheating accusations that followed her 26-million-view clip.

Overview

  • Rileycs’s Twitch channel was disabled on August 11 with a message citing a breach of community rules but without detailing the violation.
  • The suspension followed a viral compilation of her open-beta play that shows a rapid 180° turn and instant lock-on shot that drew widespread aimbot accusations after garnering over 26 million views.
  • To counter the claims, Rileycs published additional clips including handcam footage and suggested the ban aligns with Twitch’s standard one-day penalty for first-time cheating offenses.
  • Electronic Arts has not announced any punitive action against her Battlefield 6 account, leaving the game-side status of the accusations uncertain.
  • Battlefield 6’s Javelin anti-cheat system reported blocking more than 300,000 cheating attempts and logging over 100,000 reports during the beta’s opening days.
