The streamer Tectone switched to multistreaming on Twitch and Kick. He claims to make much more money on Kick than on Twitch.
Which streamer are we talking about? The streamer Tectone regularly streamed on Twitch for his over 950,000 followers (via Twitch.tv). His content in the past year consisted of reactions and gaming (via SullyGnome).
Previously, he was part of the influencer network One True King (OTK). Asmongold was also part of this network.
Tectone recently switched to multistreaming on Twitch and Kick after Twitch lifted its restrictions on streaming on multiple platforms simultaneously.
Asmongold has also recently opted for this concept. Both streamers did not receive an exclusivity contract from Kick, like xQc did worth 100 million $, but were simply included in the platform’s partner program.
In his first stream, Tectone noted after only 3.5 hours of broadcast time that he could make much more money on Kick than on Twitch.
Tectone allegedly earns 10 times more
How is it going on Kick? Tectone opened his dashboard on Kick during his first stream and showed his earnings so far: In 3.5 hours of streaming, he had already made 1,000 $. He compared this with his earnings on Twitch and said that he would make 10 times more on Kick.
What the hell? [Kick] is the best site for streaming that I have ever seen. Holy shit, that’s so much money! This is insane. Holy shit! Goddamn! This means I earned 10 times what I would have earned on Twitch with one stream. This is total madness.

In the past, Spanish streamer TheGrefg also publicly shared his earnings on Twitch and Kick and also noted the difference in payment.
Tectone wants to provide a full breakdown of his earnings once he has received all his payments. But based on his initial impression from his dashboard, Tectone is convinced that one can earn about “8 times more than on Twitch” on Kick.
What is the reason for this? Kick has a better split for its streamers. This means that Kick streamers receive a higher percentage of their subscriptions than on Twitch.
On Kick, it is supposed to be 95% for the streamer and 5% for the platform, but only if the streamers stream exclusively on Kick. If multistreaming is conducted, both streamers and the platform earn equally, so 50:50 (via streamer.kick.com/partner).
On Twitch, depending on the level, the platform takes 40 or 30% of the earnings, while the rest remains for the streamers (via Blog.Twitch.tv).
What’s behind the impressive numbers on Kick? There is a lot of evidence to suggest that not everything is as great as it seems on the Twitch competitor. Former Kick streamer Sabrina Solo provided insight into Kick’s payment after returning to Twitch.
While the platform entices streamers with fixed hourly wages, according to the musician, these are reportedly much lower than expected. At the same time, it is part of the agreement to publicly rave about the great earnings with Kick.
In light of this, Tectone’s presentation of his earnings raises several questions. You can read more about the former streamer’s experiences here on MeinMMO: Twitch streamer reveals what really lies behind the great deals from Kick that supposedly bring in so much money
