Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the dates of the Drops?

Q. How long do I have to claim my drops?
You must claim any drops earned at Twitch by Saturday, February 1 at 11:59 PM. If you don’t claim within 24 hours from when the promotion ended, the drop will no longer be available.
Q. Do I need to claim each drop before I can start accumulating hours to get the next drop?
Twitch no longer requires viewers to claim each drop before they can earn progress to the next drop in the campaign.
Q. How do I link my Battle.net and Twitch account?
A. Sign into your Battle.net account at account.battle.net/connections and click the Connect link for Twitch, then follow the instructions to sign-in and link your Twitch account to Battle.net.
Q. What devices can I use to earn and claim drops?
A. You can earn and claim drops using your PC/Mac web browser or on the Twitch app for Android or iOS. Twitch apps on game consoles, smart TVs, and other TV apps do not support drops.
