# El Xokas banned live from the beta, then unbanned

**Community · unconfirmed** · drama · published 2026-10-13

Spanish streamer El Xokas was banned mid-stream on Oct 13 over gold linked to RMT (reportedly a tiny amount he received). Spanish press reports Blizzard lifted the ban within hours after a ticket, fueling debate about innocent players getting caught by gold bans.
