Twitch affiliate streamers get a cut of game purchase referrals now
Twitch added an affiliate program a few months ago, giving streamers a chance to make money by monetizing their streams. The company is now expanding that by giving affiliate streamers a 5 percent cut of any revenue made from purchases of games or in-game items through Twitch’s store.
The revenue share has been available to “Partner” streamers — who are selected by Twitch — since the store opened in February, but today’s move opens that up to any streamer who qualifies to be an affiliate. Any user who has at least 500 total minutes of broadcasts, seven unique broadcast days, and an average of three concurrent viewers or more over the last 30 days, along with at least 50 followers, can apply to join the affiliate program.
