Streaming Platform With a Competitive Edge
Kick is a streaming platform that pays content creators a higher percentage of viewer "tips" (so-called kicks) than other platforms. It also doesn't charge a fee for transferring these tips to streamers and makes payments on the same day. This is a very attractive offer for streamers who have been frustrated by the lack of support from other platforms.
Kick also allows streamers to choose a custom name for their channel and set thematic tags to help viewers find their broadcasts. Streamers can also embed their Kick streams on other websites. The platform has an extensive chat function that can be used by both streamers and viewers.
It's unclear how much of a competitive edge Kick will have over its competitors, but the company has signed some big-name streamers so far. These include Trainwreck, Adin Ross, and Destiny, a popular Chess streamer who was banned from Twitch for Terms of Service violations.
Local viewers in particular enjoy watching multiplayer team shooters on Kick, where many of these games are available in RP servers. Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite, Valorant, Apex Legends and Escape From Tarkov are all popular choices. In addition, Kick's higher-than-average revenue sharing percentage makes it an attractive choice for streamers looking for a new home.
