JoDog is back on Twitch. The 7-year-old Call of Duty prodigy is considered one of the best Modern Warfare 2 players in the world right now. The news of the return of the prodigal son will obviously make many fans happy after the streamer’s account was banned by the Amazon-owned platform back in May.

Previously, the purple platform had claimed that JoDog’s account was suspended due to rules of the platform involving its terms of service. Now, it seems like the platform and the streamer have worked something out and fans are just happy to know that their favorite upcoming Call of Duty player is back sending people to the Gulag.

CoD Prodigy gets Twitch account back

Twitch’s TOS prohibits any user from the platform who is below the age of 13. Twitch explicitly discourages underage users from using the platform’s services. So JoDog being suspended wouldn’t be much of a surprise for fans and Twitch users in general.

However, what made the issue different from other regular underage user scenarios is that JoDog is normally always seen gaming alongside his father. The father-son duo uses the channel JoDogSquad, indicating they use a family channel. Gaming under adult supervision isn’t something that’s illegal as per Twitch’s rules.

Back in May, JoDog got banned from the streaming platform and fans were pretty saddened about the matter. JoDog took to X, formerly Twitter, to reveal the news. The player’s account had almost 1,000 followers on Twitch. While JoDog appealed against the ban, not much information was revealed initially. Now, industry Jake Lucky has made the leak that JoDog has his account back and can start streaming CoD Warzone once again.

Young gamers increase in numbers: change in rules imminent?

A growing number of young competitive players are rising everywhere. With that, the streaming industry is also changing significantly. While the underage clause does make sense, given the changing demographic, many of these rules are in need of immediate rectification.

RowdyRogan is yet another Call of Duty: Warzone Prodigy who helped his parents win four straight Warzone victories in 2021. We certainly hope that these young gamers will be encouraged by the streaming platforms more rather than being shunned because of technical things like their age.

While JoDog, the Call of Duty legend, was banned by Twitch, the streamer became more active on other platforms.
