Kick Creator Incentive Program (KCIP) pays streamers hourly for live streaming, with rates from $2 to $16+ based on metrics like viewer count, chatters, and stream hours.
New streamers must unlock achievements first. The first step is to hang in your community for 5 hours to open sub badges.
Verification requires: 10 subscribers (not gifted) in 30 days, 50 viewers in 30 days, 15 hours streamed, and 15 unique chatters in 30 days.
Partner requirements: 25 subscribers (not gifted) in 30 days, 75 viewers in 30 days, 15 hours streamed, 250 unique chatters, and 200 followers. Completion does not guarantee acceptance.
Must have three VODs in the past 30 days, set up profile with links and about section, and email Kick with screenshots proving you meet requirements.
KCIP pays hourly based on viewership and engagement. Example: 100 viewers, 50 chatters, 11 hours/day could yield $16/hour, totaling ~$5,280/month plus subscription revenue (95/5 split).
Multi-streaming on Twitch reduces KCIP hourly rate by half. Streaming on YouTube and TikTok is allowed without penalty as long as Twitch is excluded.
Kick previously offered instant partner status to Twitch partners who reached out. This may no longer be available, but it's worth trying.
KCIP offers a unique hourly pay model that can significantly boost income for dedicated streamers, especially compared to Twitch. However, the path to partner requires meeting specific metrics and acceptance is not guaranteed.

[00:02] So, you probably looking at this and going, "Man, how the heck did Asmongold make this amount of money?" Well, Kick KCIP, which is known as the Kick Creator Incentive Program, literally can
[00:14] generate money just for you just live streaming. And so, when you look at this particular video right here, this is how much Asmongold gets. Now, you look at on his Kick, he makes amount of $36,910
[00:33] for two pay stream. So, I'm going to really break down what you I'm going to really break down what you need to know about the KCIP. Now, I am a point that out. As a Kick partner, you are entitled to
[00:50] by just sitting on a PC and playing games hourly. Okay? We're talking about 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours. There's many factors into me making this probably type of money.
[01:06] And so, I'm going to really just give you that insight right now. But before then, let me just go over a couple things so that you can come away understanding how you can get the Kick partner. All right? Now,
[01:20] when you first start, and this is if you're just jump starting on Kick, um let me explain something. So, you don't get paid right off the right off the get paid right off the right off the bat. At one point, Kick was offering
[01:32] um people, you know, a chance to get paid without going through the task and stuff like that. So, you would have to DM them or talk to them on so on social media, and they would just unlock it at that time,
[01:46] right? But now, they're they're not doing that. So, they're saying you have to go to this route. So, when you get on Kick, the first thing you want to do is unlock your achievement. Now, I'm going to find that information for you.
[02:00] I'm going to break it down. I'm going to go to my Kick Dashboard real quick. And then we're just going to go over details real quick. All right? So, achievements. We're going to go to my achievement real
[02:13] show you right now. So, under achievement, you see Pap to Creator. This is what you're going to get your revenue from, okay? So, you got to hang in your community for 5 hours. Okay? So, that means once you hang in your
[02:27] community for 5 hours, your sub badge should be open for people to sub to your channel. All right? Now, once you have achieved that, now we can get to the nitty-gritty of this getting you to Kick Partner. Now,
[02:43] before you can get to Kick Partner, you have to go to the verification part. The verification, as you can see, is pretty much four things, four tasks that you
[02:55] have to complete. All right? So, we talked about monetize my channel, which you need to have 10 subs. Now, you're probably looking at this and going, get out there, but I'll explain a little bit later, probably towards the end of
[03:08] this video." But, let's keep going. So, monetize my channel, you need 10 subscribers within 30 days. And you can't have people gift subs, so it doesn't work that way. So, you need active five
[03:22] active 10 subs on your channel, okay? Showstopper, you need 50 viewers for the last 30 days. So, even if you didn't get the Let's say you didn't get 50 like 50
[03:34] viewers in that first month, it carries over to the next month. So, if you got next month and you managed to have 50 viewers and that doubles your viewership
[03:50] with my community for 15 hours for the last 30 days. So, that accumulates. So, I'm pretty sure some of y'all like to stream for 15 hours. So, it's not something that's going to be a difficult task. So, that should be easy. Chatters
[04:04] unique chatters or people who are just coming in and engaging with you. So, that's 30 days. So, often enough when someone comes in and like that, um
[04:17] often enough I had to look that over. I had to So, often enough um you're going to find um people coming in within every 30 days engaging and talking to you and that equals into your unique chatters. Even
[04:33] so, that you may have a bot that may come to your stream and say something, that adds in towards your unique chatter thing. I just want to let you know true until I had like four or five bots just
[04:49] come in and offer me some ridiculous um um service and you know those services. pretty much that just add into my unique chatters. Um which is 15. So, it was just crazy that I was getting that amount. Even if
[05:05] someone is coming back-to-back engaging, that still counts. So, I just want to point that out. So, this is the verification now. For the verification, the verification is a badge. So, you get a badge in this particular verification
[05:18] task. So, you will see it almost similar to Twitch. It'll just be right next to to Twitch. It'll just be right next to your name. So, that verifies that you're a Kick streamer. So, that's what this about. Now, we get to
[05:31] the the path to partner, which is different, which is different from different, which is different from verification. Verification lets them know that this is actually your account. So, with Kick partner, this is where the
[05:44] KCIP comes in, which is what Adin Ross has or any other streamer, you know, you know, may have. Um so, we're looking at a little bit of a of a a different task
[05:56] compared to verification. So, we're looking at 25 subs subscribers in the last 30 days. We all went over the detail. They can't be gifted subs. 75 viewers in the last 30 days. We went over detail over that on verification.
[06:11] You got to make sure you have 75 viewers within the last 30 days. You had to hang with your community. Like I said in the verification, some of y'all stream for verification, some of y'all stream for 12 to 12 to 13 hours a day. So, this is
[06:24] something that should be easy. Um unique chatters, 250 unique chatters. Like I in and engaging or the same person talking every day or whatever of each
[06:36] day of your streaming, that counts towards unique chatters. So, once you get to 250 unique chatters, you should be able to accomplish that. And then we have growing my following. So, if you manage to get 200 followers, you now
[06:52] can literally start your journey as a Kick partner. Now, it's now it's not can start. It's not guaranteed. I just want to point that out and I'mma explain why it's not Um they they they have to go over your whole live stream to really
[07:08] give you the information that you've been um accepted in. It's It's similar to what Twitch does when it comes to accepting people in after they complete
[07:21] accepting people in after they complete their task. So, it's not guaranteed, you know? So, always keep that in mind. It's not guaranteed. They have to go over data about your stream in order for them to feel like
[07:33] you're good to go to make income on your stream. So, this is not always guaranteed. Just take that Take that to the grain of salt or whatever. Just know that
[07:45] you once you complete this, it's going to take a while for you to get uh the Kick Partner and the KCIP acceptance, okay? Now, now I want to go over the details
[07:57] of the KCIP. All right, but before we do that, let's go over one more There's like a couple more details that I got to give you. So, terms of service and community guidelines and DMCA policy and the KCIP
[08:12] terms and conditions, okay? Um you also have to uh channel You have to set up your profile with relevant links to your social media and fill in the about section. So, the about section can be about you and just
[08:27] already know. So, you have to make sure you have that. Also, you got to have three VODs in the past 30 days. So, that means you need three VODs that's to be published so that they know that you was active. And then
[08:40] for you to really apply, because this is where it separates itself from Twitch. Twitch has a button you click on and then you just type in your information and you submit it. Kick wants you to email them. They want you to email them
[08:54] and screenshot that you meet the requirements, okay? So, once you do all that, you're going to pretty much have a long waiting period. Not sure, but you're going to have a long waiting period until they
[09:08] come back to you with the answer that you've been accepted. So, it's a little bit different. I'm hoping that they change that and add a uh accomplish that so that it makes it more convenient for some of the
[09:23] for some of the Kick streamers to really get into the, you know, getting their stuff out, you know? Cuz you don't want to just All right, now I got to go to my email and show my screenshot, tell them I hit it and all stuff, okay? I think
[09:37] where there's a button where you just click and it just go directly to them. So, yeah. So, just know that you have to submit your your partner application through email with Kick. So, it's a little bit
[09:51] different. So, you'll it'll change over time. So, just know that. But, let's just go over the measurements of what is the KCIP. So, measurements of what is the KCIP. So, how does the KCIP work? So, I mean, we
[10:06] this is the details which you're going to get. So, it pays streamers an hourly rate based on their live viewership and engagement and supplementing their income on top of the subscription revenue with reported hourly rates from
[10:22] revenue with reported hourly rates from around $2 to $16 plus depending on the metrics like viewer count, chatters, and stream hours offering them offering a consistent base income while building a channel.
[10:36] So, on top of the fact that you're going and you're going to see. So, on top of the fact that you're getting the 95-5 split with the sub, this is like working at home at a office. It's
[10:52] like a home remote home like job, you know? You're just live streaming playing the games you love on a hourly base pay. So, how that factors a hourly base pay. So, how that factors in is viewers based on amount of
[11:07] viewers, based on amount of engagement that you're getting from your viewers. So, if you have a high uh viewer this. Let's just do a little math again.
[11:21] So, the KCIP, right? Hourly pay is $16 for you, right? Let's say it's $16. And usually it goes up. So, you get $16. So, you get $16. Right? You average about 100 Okay? So,
[11:37] saying the metric base is hourly rate depends on your performance including concurrent viewers, total hours, unique viewers, and stream rate and subscription. So, this is just information of it. So,
[11:50] rewards engagement incentive. So, you're getting paid an hour. So, let us just that's how much Right now, I'm only getting like 10 12 bucks $12 back. Um but, I have been you know, grinding on
[12:03] it since then on my Kick uh partner account. So, everything else down the road of how you can really skip through that. So, um so, you have a you average about 100 viewers.
[12:18] Um you have 50 you average you get like 50 unique chatters. Okay? Make sure I typed this right. Okay? 50 unique chatters, 100 50 of those are just people who are just watching. Okay? So, based on that and you stream 18 hours.
[12:34] So, you stream for 18 hours. Or let's say you stream for not 18 hours, let's say you stream for 11 hours. So, based on that magic metric, right? We're talking about and let's put out a calculator again. All right? So,
[12:48] you have 100 viewers which adds in on top of that. So, that puts you in a magic of a $16 hour. That is We're just going off of that. I'm not saying this is Please do not take this information as something to say, "Oh, this is what
[13:02] on assumptions right now. Okay? This is confuse people in general and be like, "I thought this" No. So, this is just assumption. Okay? This We're just using our thinking head. We're thinking as a
[13:15] group to really figure out what you would get back if you started streaming right now on Kick and you happen to hit the Kick partner. Okay? So, $16 an the Kick partner. Okay? So, $16 an times 11 hours. What's So, imagine
[13:30] yourself streaming within the whole month. And let's look at it. How many days are in a month? 30 days, right? 30 days a month times 160 cuz you stream every day. 5,000. Now,
[13:43] the magic like like they say, they add in they include they include the other metrics as of the engagement as well as that the subs that you're getting for the 95 to 5 split. So, that on top of it makes you more money. So, that adds into
[13:58] the amount of money that you're getting for this streaming hourly. So, we're talking about you're getting paid probably roughly around $10,000. So, when we look at the measurements of what KCIP offers to streamers who stream
[14:13] there every day and I hit the program that are part of the program. Not hit the program, but that's part of it. You see that you're going to make double the amount of income that you would get on Twitch. You see streamers now who are
[14:26] now accepting the Kick Partner Program like a TimTheTatMan or a Cloakzy or Nadeshot. I mean, Nadeshot took a deal, but you're seeing other streamers multi-stream, which is another thing that KCIP allows you to do is to
[14:42] You know, but within the multi-stream I'm going to just show you something. Um within the multi-streaming you have to make sure this is my income. I'm Like I told you, it's not much. But, you have to turn on this button. So, once
[14:58] you get in, you have these particular buttons right here. So, once you're in a partner program, you'll see these settings, okay? So, this is the income, partner income. Enable this to earn partner income while
[15:11] setting will apply to the default of your future streams. So, you can make So, if you follow if you're mostly a Kick streamer and you only stream on amount of your your revenue from this streaming on
[15:27] multi-streaming, you have this button. And what you got to read is enabling this regularly regularly a multi-stream stream exclusively on Kick hourly rate. When turned on, multi-streaming will be
[15:41] streams. So, what they're saying with this is if you turn this on, they get to take half of your hourly rate that you get out out of live streaming. So, I don't know what is the percentage that you get that you lose when you turn
[15:58] when you streaming on multiple platforms, but I don't think it would deeply hurt your pockets. You still will make enough given the fact that if you still going to make enough. But, they'll allow you to multi-stream.
[16:12] Now, if you're multi-streaming on Twitch and Kick, they'll deduct that. But, if you're multi-streaming on Kick, YouTube, and TikTok, you're still going to get that whole income as a Kick Partner income.
[16:26] Long as you're not streaming on Twitch. So, that is one of the benefits you get. So, what they said is if you stream mostly on Kick through multi-streaming
[16:38] as a just YouTube and TikTok, you don't lose your Kick Partner revenue. Like, you don't lose half of it. But, if you are streaming Twitch, Kick, and YouTube, or TikTok, whatever how you're going to set up your multi-
[16:52] you would lose a percentage of your Kick revenue. So, just keep that in mind when you're multi-streaming. But, um the program itself is doing wonders for people. I am, you know, people on Twitter are talking about how they've
[17:08] been able to, you know, manage and take care of bills, and, you know, they're just enjoying what it's offering. I mean, the platform itself focus on giving creators more income, you know, more income for their work. When you
[17:23] look at platforms like Twitch, they're a little bit different, even though they're trying to get to that point, but they're a little bit content creators over there. So,
[17:35] So, if you're planning to go to Kick and to live stream on Kick and to get to to the KCIP, you know, this is probably a good time to do it and just make the switch. Now,
[17:48] like I said earlier, there's ways that you can get a Kick partner and I'm just going to explain that. Now, there is a point at a There was a point where they offer anyone from Twitch that are Twitch
[18:03] anyone from Twitch that are Twitch partner to try their platform, to try Kick partner. So, whenever you see, and this is why you always got to tune into their Twitter, so if you follow them on Twitter, follow them, just tune in cuz
[18:17] they'll always pitch the idea that, "Hey, we're offering this to anyone that's a Twitch partner to try it." Um if you look at people like figure, um
[18:30] people like me, for example, I'm a Twitch partner. And what happened was I was following them and they offered to give anyone that's a Twitch partner to at least uh give Kick partner a chance. And so,
[18:46] I reached out to them and they offered it to me and I accepted it. So, that is it to me and I accepted it. So, that is how that is why you notice that I am a Kick partner. So, they offer that to anyone that's a
[19:00] Twitch partner. If you want to try the partner. But for anybody else that's not a Twitch partner, you're going to have to literally grind your way. I don't know they're still offering that, so just keep that in mind. I'm not
[19:13] sure they still offer that. But, if you can literally reach out to them, if literally reach out to them, try to reach out to them and see if they can offer it. But, I cannot guarantee that they'll give it to you. But, just try.
[19:28] So, other than that, the information that you see is this is what the KCIP program is pretty much about. You just get paid a hour as if you're working in get paid a hour as if you're working in an office job and based on the amount of
[19:41] viewers and engagement and support, that doubles your income. So, just know that it's probably the best platform for anyone that's trying to make a, you
[19:54] income. So, if you're trying to make income and you want to be able to um just stream and play the games you love or do IRL content and stuff like that,
[20:06] it, this is probably the best platform for you to do those things and make the income that you want. But, take it from me, take it a test, and see if you come away liking it. If not, you know, there's always other platforms that you
[20:21] can try. But, other than that, I'll see you in the next video.
