The streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa announced on her X account that something big would happen on June 20, 2025. Now she has stated: She wants to start streaming again on Twitch.
Amouranth was one of the big names on Twitch who switched to the competing platform Kick in 2023. She moved over to Kick with an exclusive contract. The amount she received for the switch to Kick was not disclosed.
The streamer only mentioned in an interview with Dexerto that her annual income is said to have “doubled.” Nevertheless, she is now returning to Twitch.
Back to Twitch
On X, Amouranth announced her move with a video. In it, you can see the streamer refueling a green car with the license plate “kick.com” and talking into her phone that she is “on the way” after “refueling a bit.”
She gets into the car, you can see a caption that says “38 million dollars later” and the green car turns purple and drives away. The caption suggests that Amouranth’s exclusive contract with Kick has earned her a total of 38 million dollars.
Why is Amouranth returning to Twitch? The streamer does not name a specific reason for her switch. However, it is likely that while the exclusive contract provided a high one-time income, monetization on Twitch may be more lucrative.
Despite this high amount and the general belief that Kick is a goldmine for high income from streaming, the streamer is returning to Twitch, raising the question of the actual reason. However, it is unclear whether Amouranth’s contract has expired or if she terminated it early.
Meanwhile, no streamers are being signed under exclusive contracts anymore. Thus, streamers Asmongold and Tectone also switched to Kick, but are still streaming on Twitch in the meantime.
The suggestion that Kick is better for streaming was prominently made by the Spanish streamer The Grefg. He compared his income from the two platforms and concluded that Kick would significantly generate more money.
The statements of these streamers, however, are viewed from a different perspective as null and void. This is because payment at Kick can also be agreed on an hourly basis. According to a former Kick streamer, however, this is not as lucrative as one might initially think. Furthermore, after her return to Twitch, she mentioned that she was pressured by Kick to always maintain the appearance of earning a lot of money on Kick.
