Why a Russian card may fail
A Russian card may be declined because of issuer country, account region, billing address, currency or the service's anti-fraud checks. Do not repeat the same payment until the cause is corrected.

FAQ
Does the account region affect Twitch payments?
Twitch applies local subscription pricing; the US web Tier 1 amount is a reference and the viewer's country can change it.
Can I link the card to Twitch?
Card linking depends on the Twitch payment profile, account country and billing verification. Check the billing address before confirming.
What if the charge is declined?
Check the account region, billing address, balance and plan availability. If the payment is declined again, contact the service support team instead of repeating the same charge.
