We give you a 75% ad split, compared to Twitch's standard 55%. While we scale our global ad filling network, your 75% cut means you need fewer overall viewers to make the exact same payout.

These numbers are estimates based on publicly available percentages and metrics, applied to your subs, Drops/tips and ads ($273.47 after estimated tax and processing). Standard shares used: Twitch 50% subs, ~71% Bits, 55% ads; Kick 95% subs and tips, no standard ad share; YouTube 70% memberships and Super Chat, 55% ads; TikTok LIVE ~50% subs and gifts, no LIVE ad share. Sponsors are left out because deals on other platforms are usually made directly. Actual terms vary by program, partner status and region.
