For the past couple of weeks, a new streaming platform has taken over the Esports world. Owned by popular streamer TrainwrecksTV, it features a much simple and non-rigorous structure. Kick has a 95-5% deal, giving away 95% of the earned money to the streamer. The remaining 5% is held back, the share reserved for the platform’s usage.

Compared to that, Twitch serves a 50-50 deal, giving only half of what’s actually earned. To explain in detail, a Twitch streamer getting $5 for a sub would only get $2.5 in his account, as the platform would charge the rest as a fee. And this has created major problems in the streaming industry, leading to top Twitch creators walking out. 

The first was Adin Ross, who recently signed a million-dollar contract with Kick. Followed by that, the platform had eyes on a few other options, chasing them to sign up. And well, they’ve caught a whale as Corinna Kopf just walked in.

Corinna Kopf is now a Kick streamer 

On February 24, 2023, Kick’s official Twitter page broke the silence of a new deal. They announced signing a contract with popular OnlyFans model Corinna Kopf. The content creator also replied to the post saying, “HONEY IM HOMEEEEE.”

Plus, fans celebrated her arrival with a grand gesture as her account crossed 17,000 followers in 24 hours. It is important to understand that Corinna is yet to host her first ever Kick stream, so with that many followers even before the launch, one can say she might break some records.

For those uninitiated, the streamer is generally seen hosting IRL streams, so if you’re someone interested in the category, you should definitely check it out.

Why are streamers quitting Twitch? 

Apart from the rigorous terms and conditions for pay, Twitch follows a ‘demeaning’ payout system. For instance, if a streamer receives any kind of donations, the platform charges a fee before allowing them to cash out. Compared to that, the new streaming platform Kick pays the entire amount to the streamer, with the added benefit of cash withdrawal on the same day.

Lastly, one can explore much more content on Kick as compared to Twitch. Apparently, the latter has strict norms for showcasing unlicensed betting, banning streamers over instant reports. But Kick gives the liberty to host a plethora of topics, enthralling fans as well as the hoster.
