New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on July 27, 2023) follows:

The world of online streaming has undergone a massive transformation in recent years, with platforms like Twitch and YouTube Gaming dominating the industry.

However, a new player has entered the arena, shaking things up and offering content creators an enticing alternative.

Kick, a cutting-edge streaming service, has set its sights on challenging the status quo and making a splash in the competitive world of live streaming.

Kick has garnered significant attention by making bold moves and placing multimillion-dollar bets on talent, directly challenging the dominance of Amazon-owned Twitch.

One of the most attention-grabbing headlines was when Kick secured a staggering $100 million non-exclusive deal with the renowned content creator, Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel.

However, as with any streaming platform, technical issues can arise, and Kick is no exception as users say the service is down, not loading or working for them (1,2,3,4,5,6).

The ongoing problems on kick.com has resulted in a frustrating experience for both viewers and streamers alike.

Reports suggests that users are getting ‘Bad Gateway’ error message, which appears to be affecting a significant number of them. Others find themselves stuck on the Kick logo when attempting to log in or join a stream.

The consequences of these technical difficulties have been far-reaching, causing considerable disruptions to the schedules of dedicated streamers.

From the viewers’ perspective who were eagerly anticipated catching their favorite streamers in action, were left disappointed and without a chance to engage with the content they enjoy.

Anyone else not being able to log into Kick right now? Getting Bad Gateway. My stream went down right in the middle. I still can’t log in. Anyone else? #Kick #KickAffiliate #kicklivestreaming @KickStreamsLive @KickSupport @KickStreaming

Additionally, some viewers had the misfortune of getting cut off mid-stream, abruptly disconnecting them from the excitement and camaraderie that comes with sharing the live experience with other viewers.

One of the primary reasons behind Kick’s popularity is its dedication to customer satisfaction. So, its no surprise that Kick support was quick to acknowledge this issue. However, there is no ETA on a fix yet.

As Kick works diligently to identify and address the root cause of these problems, the community eagerly awaits a solution that will restore the seamless streaming experience they once enjoyed.

We’ll keep tabs on the issue where kick.com is down or not working for some and update this story with the latest information.
