Twitch to improve revenue splits, but only when certain conditions are met

And it’s capped as well

Sometimes it’s difficult to know what’s going on at Twitch at any given time. On one hand, the streaming platform has made attempts to remove hate groups. On the other, it’s also been embroiled in a series of controversies. This is especially true when it comes to the streamers themselves.

However, there is some good news on the horizon, as it turns out that the Amazon-owned company is increasing its revenue split, returning to the old 70/30 divide. The new program is being referred to as “Partner Plus.” But before you start celebrating, there are a few provisos.

According to a recent Twitch blog post, streamers will be entitled to a bigger share of the streaming pot earned so long as they “maintain a sub count of at least 350 recurring paid subscriptions for three consecutive months.” This means the sub count cannot drop below this number for that period of time. To clear any questions on that front, a report from PC Gamer says that Amazon Prime subscriptions will not be counted, so only monthly and gifted subs will work.

We want to help streamers keep doing what they love, so we can all keep loving what they do. Introducing the Partner Plus program.

Going into more detail, Twitch also says that Partner Plus will cap the new 70/30 split at $100,000 US over a 12-month period. Once these conditions are met, content creators will be automatically enrolled in the program, which will come into effect on October 1, 2023. It’s also worth noting that once you qualify, if your subscription count dips below the 350 sub threshold over the 12-month period, you will still be entitled to the split.

Twitch has notoriously had a difficult time pleasing streamers in the past, especially when it comes to money. The fact that you won’t qualify for the Partner Plus scheme if you earn too much may seem bittersweet to some. There are probably a few famous names on the site that will automatically be discounted, but for the rest, it sounds like an opportunity to earn more of a lion’s share. Providing you tick all the boxes, of course.
