Right now, in the competitive scenario of the streaming industry, there is one platform that is budding fast: Kick. This platform has already made everyone’s jaw drop with its high-profile deals like xQc, Amouranth, Hikaru Nakamura, and many more. Along with its profitable revenue system, its new incentive program has made a huge name for itself.

This incentive program is called the Kick Creator Incentive Program. People were pretty hopeful that this program would give a platform to rising creators. However, the recently revealed criteria for joining the incentive program might not be the case. Let’s see.

Recently, Kick unveiled the criteria for joining their incentive program. So, here it is:

  • 30-Day Average CCV: 126
  • Average Subscriptions per Month: 239 (Gifted or Direct)
  • Unique chatters per month: 337
  • Stream Hours per Month: 89

These are the areas you have to look for to become eligible for this program.

So, what is the Creator Incentive Program actually?

This program will compensate streamers on an hourly basis. So, you don’t have to stream for longer periods of time. As of now, there are 33 streamers on this platform who have been acquired by Kick for this program. These streamers have been termed “First Class.” These individuals have an average concurrent viewership (CCV) ranging from 10 to 1500.

Kick has already been paying at an hourly rate to the famous streamers who have exclusive deals with the platform. Now, with this program, normal people, ranging from small business owners, real-life streamers, householders, high-intensity gamers, and musicians, will also be a part of the streaming platform with hourly compensation.

Kick also announced that their second wave of creators, titled “Phase 2 Class”, will be announced on October 1, and “Phase 3 Class” will be revealed on November 1, 2023. Whether this means they will be announcing a new set of creators joining the program on the first of every month is unknown.

Fans are not satisfied: Are they choosing other platforms?

This unique initiative might sound beneficial for the rising streamers or normal people. But many are thinking it will not be because of the complicated requirements set by Kick. For an amateur streamer, meeting these criteria, be it 126 concurrent viewers or 239 subs per month on average, is a huge task.
