Kick Cancels Hourly Payments for Casino Streamers

New Changes in Kick’s Monetization

The Kick platform has revised its payout model for streamers broadcasting in the Slots & Casino category. They will no longer receive a fixed payment of $16 per hour.

Why Did Kick Change the Payment System?

The decision was made to reduce ethical risks. Previously, streamers could artificially extend their broadcasts to earn more money, which could contribute to the promotion of gambling.

How Will This Affect Streamers?

• Cancellation of hourly payments in the affiliate program for streamers broadcasting in the Slots & Casino category.
• Contracts with top streamers (such as xQc, Trainwrecks, and Roshtein) remain in effect.
• Streamers can continue creating gambling-related content, but without a fixed hourly payment.

Community Reaction

The community has responded positively to the changes, noting that gambling content should not be directly incentivized with hourly payments. This is a step towards more transparent and fair monetization on the platform.

Conclusion

Kick continues to support gambling-related content but is moving away from a system that could encourage artificially prolonged screen time. Now, streamers will earn through a new affiliate program model without fixed hourly payments.
