And even then, the payout is the next month. It’s quite possible to have Twitch Bits sitting in limbo forever until it hits the $100 payout threshold. This means the broadcaster has access to the funds when he or she wants.
Now take that same $1.00 donation through PayPal, the money is transferred almost immediately. This means the streamer isn’t faced with a “waiting period” to get the money you just donated.įor instance, if you tipped a streamer 100 bits to show support, he or she will have to wait until the $100 threshold is hit before the broadcaster sees that money. With a donate button through Streamlabs on a Broadcaster’s channel, the payment is almost instantaneous. That’s because bits are close to $0.01 each in value from Amazon – the owner of Twitch. This breaks down to around 10,000 Twitch Bits. At the time of this article, that threshold is about $100 in actual cash value. Like other systems on the Internet, there is a payment threshold for Twitch Bits to be paid out to broadcasters. The Waiting Period of Twitch Bits vs Donations My point is that direct donations are far easier for the new streamer to collect than Twitch Bits. And PayPal isn’t the only payment acceptance method supported by Streamlabs. This greatly helps guide the process of leaving a donation. In reality, it only takes a person several minutes to connect a PayPal account to Streamlabs.
They don’t need a single follower for someone to leave a “tip.” In essence, it’s like turning on the TV and walking out of the room for the sake of having it on.ĭirect donations, on the other hand, puts the money in the hands of the broadcaster almost immediately. For some people, this could take an incredibly long time.Īlthough lurking may help streamers surpass this requirement, it’s still something that often results in frustration and a lack of dedication to keep streaming.Īfter all, most lurkers don’t donate or interact with the broadcaster. In other words, you need to be an Amazon Affiliate before you can benefit from bits. How beginner streamers do not have access to Twitch Bits.īefore you can give bits to a streamer, they need to have more than 50 followers, have more than three concurrent viewers throughout the month while showing dedication to streaming. There are a lot of people who will donate to keep certain broadcasters online. Many people will start a Twitch channel in the hopes of becoming popular.
