Kick CEO claims life-changing contracts are \u201cup for grabs\u201d for streamers Unsplash.com: Jametlene Reskp \/ KICKKick CEO Eddie Craven has teased that the site has contracts worth millions that are \u201cup for grabs\u201d for streamers wanting an exclusive deal. Kick has risen as a major competitor to sites like Twitch and YouTube over the past few months, which have been home to live many of the net\u2019s top-tier streamers for over a decade. Despite this competition, Kick has taken off in a major way since early 2023 as it secures major streamers with extremely lucrative contracts \u2014 some of which aren\u2019t even exclusive. For instance, Kick famously offered a contract worth $100 million to Twitch star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel in June, turning the head of every content creator on the internet (and even catching the eyes of major celebrities, in the process). This contract isn\u2019t exclusive, and lasts for two years, allowing the streamer to continue his work on Twitch or other sites as he pleases. Kick CEO says major contracts are waiting for streamers big & small At the time of writing, Kick already has a big roster of streamers like Adin Ross, Amouranth, xQc, and more \u2014 but the site\u2019s CEO says that even bigger contracts are waiting in the wings. CEO Eddie Craven dropped a few nuggets of information via Twitter on July 21, where he claimed the platform has \u201cincredible plans\u201d for the future. \u201cThe greatest days of live streaming are still to come,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe greatest live content is still to be produced. The greatest streamers are still yet to do their first stream. We\u2019ve got incredible plans, and Kick looks forward to leading the way into the next era of streaming.\u201d However, not everyone thinks Kick handing out big contracts is a good idea. A user on Twitter offered a dissenting opinion, writing, \u201cSigning xQc for $100 mil was a huge mistake. He streams more on Twitch than he does on Kick.\u201d \u201cIf I was you, I\u2019d try to find a loophole in the contract to void it ASAP,\u201d they continued. \u201cAlso, start signing smaller\/mid size streamers, better to sign 100 steamers for $1 mil each than 1 for $100 mil.\u201d In response, Craven claimed there\u2019s more than enough cheddar to go around. \u201c[xQc] is a true flagship of the streaming industry,\u201d he answered. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely 100 x $1m deals up for grabs. There\u2019s even 1,000 x $100k deals up for grabs. All alongside a creator incentive program made to ensure anyone can be paid a fair price for quality streams. Give us time.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Kick\u2019s CEO has spoken out about the platform\u2019s business side; just last month, Craven reassured streamers that the site wouldn\u2019t slash subscriber pay cuts and will keep its highly-coveted 95\/5 split and is looking toward advertisements to keep things \u201csustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
