Controversial internet personality Nicolas “Nico” Kenn De Balinthazy, better known as “Sneako,” has revealed he received a lifetime ban from Australia because his “character is not fit” for the country<\/strong>. For context, Sneako made headlines on May 6, 2026, when reports surfaced suggesting that Australian Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke had revoked the streamer’s visa and issued a lifetime ban<\/a>.<\/p>\n During a livestream on May 8, 2026, Sneako confirmed that he has received a lifetime ban from Australia.<\/p>\n While claiming that reports about his deportation from the country were a “straight up lie,” the 27-year-old provided details about his Australian visa being revoked by saying:<\/p>\n “I wasn’t deported. That’s all a straight up lie. But I was issued a lifetime ban from Australia, and I’ll detail why they gave me a lot of reasons. It’s pretty funny, that’s my life. I didn’t even stream there. I got a lifetime ban, that is true. Media did all this outrage; I didn’t even stream there, I was just existing. I was just chilling. I just was there existing. I didn’t stream. I didn’t do anything. I made some vlogs out there, you guys seemed to like it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n According to Sneako<\/a>, the Australian authorities imposed a “character ban.” Claiming that he did not commit any crimes in the country, the Kick streamer said:<\/p>\n “I don’t know if I can show the whole email because they did say certain things. I don’t want to get sued or whatever. But it’s basically called a character ban. So, I didn’t commit any crimes, I’m not a criminal. I’ve never been convicted of a crime. But they gave me a character ban. So, my character is not fit for Australia, so they revoked my visa, and they said, ‘You can’t come back. You cannot come back to Australia.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n During the same livestream, Sneako showed his Twitch dashboard, which revealed that his unban appeal for “extreme hateful conduct”<\/a> had been rejected. <\/p>\n Claiming that streamers who previously got banned for assault, sexual misconduct, and promotion of an adult platform had their unban appeals “go through,” Nico stated:<\/p>\n “So many appeals that they have accepted. I’ve seen assault, sexual misconduct. I’ve seen that appeal go through. You can promote … You can… hmm, what else can you do on Twitch that you can get away with? Man! What have we seen? Someone said, ‘Shock dogs.’ So, you can electrocute dogs.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In addition to being banned from Australia, Sneako has been barred from attending UFC 328 after Dillon Danis<\/a> shared an alleged list of those who are not permitted to attend the event.<\/p>\nSneako shows that his Twitch unban appeal has been rejected<\/h2>\n
