WHAT IS KICK?


Kick has been making waves in the gaming community lately, attracting big-name streamers like Adin Ross and Hikaru Nakamura to join its ranks. Positioned as a formidable competitor to Twitch, Kick is endorsed by Tyler 'Trainwreck' Niknam and prides itself on being a creator-friendly platform with a host of favorable policies. But does it live up to the hype, or is it too good to be true?




In recent years, the streaming space has become oversaturated and witnessed numerous consolidations, from the rise and fall of Mixer to the streaming wars between YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, leading to a lot of streamers shifting platforms. Amidst this landscape, several niche sites like Trovo and DLive have tried to claim their share of the market. However, Kick seems to be standing strong, garnering substantial support from prominent figures.


At its core, Kick positions itself as a platform that caters to creators, offering policies designed to attract streamers of all sizes. Although it's currently in beta, many are eager to give it a shot. But what makes it so attractive as a Twitch competitor?


One significant draw is Kick's revenue split for creators. While Twitch offers a 50-50 split and YouTube provides a 70-30 split, Kick boasts an impressive 95-5 subscriber revenue split. Additionally, the platform offers a 100% split on "Kicks," its regular donation service. Creators on Kick can enjoy same-day payouts, bypassing the wait for monthly payments.





Some might wonder how Kick can sustain such lucrative policies. The answer lies in its partnership with leading advertisers. Tyler 'Trainwreck' Niknam explained, "Kick will partner with the world's leading advertisers to generate cash flow. I believe that creating the best incentives for creators will lead the best creators to Kick, and the best creators will bring the best advertisers."


The allure of Kick doesn't end with financial benefits. The platform has also teased an "innovative new exclusive creator program," assuring partners that they won't have to rely solely on subscriber counts every month.


The ownership of Kick.com remains unconfirmed, but there are indications that crypto gambling site Stake.com might be backing the project. Job listings from Australia-based start-up Easygo suggest that Kick.com is a new venture by the founders of Easygo and Stake.com. While Stake.com has not officially confirmed ownership, it was a significant sponsor of Trainwreck on Twitch before getting banned from the platform.


Overall, Kick's combination of attractive revenue splits, quick payouts, and exclusive creator programs makes it an enticing option for gamers seeking a new platform to showcase their content. As it gains more traction and support from prominent streamers, it's definitely a channel worth considering for anyone interested in regular gaming content and exploring new opportunities in the streaming world.
