Twitch is making a big change to how it pays out streamers.
Twitch is making a pretty significant change to how it pays its streamers. Although it largely started as just a place for people to stream games for fun, Twitch and similar platforms quickly became monetizable for creators. This led to Twitch essentially become a platform people to create jobs, allowing them to entertain other people via video game streams or full-blown productions. Some of these streamers make millions of dollars a year just entertaining a massive user base.
Twitch has announced that it will be lowering the threshold for payouts in the coming weeks in various countries. Previously, Twitch partners and affiliates needed to make $100 from their streams in order to withdraw any of it, but now the threshold has been lowered to $50 which should help smaller streamers get access to their money much faster. This will start on July 15th in Argentina, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and Taiwan and rollout to additional countries through November.
"We understand how important it is for you to quickly access the money you earn from streaming," said Twitch in a blog post."This lower $50 threshold is one important step towards creating a faster, easier payout experience. One day, we'd love for you to wrap up your stream and already have the money you earned from that stream in your wallet.
Although big streamers likely won't notice this change, this is a major leap for smaller streamers. As Twitch continues to grow, this will become essential. Twitch is facing steep competition with YouTuber as more and more talent begins to sign contracts with the Google-owned platform. This should be a big incentive for smaller streamers to continue to stay on Twitch.
