Twitch is changing revenue split for streamers making over $100K

Twitch president Dan Clancy announced that the favored streaming service will probably be making a change to its income stream. Beginning June 1, 2023, premium streamers will see a 50/50 break up after their income goes above $100K. 

Most partnered streamers have an equal 50/50 income break up, however the bigger ones presently have premium offers that grant them a 70/30 break up.

The $100K threshold will probably be calculated over a 12-month interval, and start as soon as a streamer’s contract is renewed. Firstly of the subsequent 12 months, the brink will reset.

Clancy added that this bump will not have an effect on most streamers however for those who’re affected, it was a matter of “ensuring the affect was minimal — not simply by giving them ample time earlier than the deal goes into impact — but in addition by providing another solution to earn income.” 

So far as “alternate income” is worried, Clancy identified that Twitch bumped up the share in advert income to 55/45, which he mentioned might function a solution to make up for the upcoming change. 

Earlier within the week, Twitch introduced an incoming ban on streaming unlicensed playing websites, together with slots, roulette, or cube video games within the US and different areas. That coverage replace will go into impact subsequent month on October 18.
