Pokimane explains why she turned down $3 million sponsorship deal YouTube: PokimanePopular Twitch streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2018 Anys confirmed that she received a sponsorship offer worth $3 million, but explained why she decided to turn it down despite admitting that she didn\u2019t have that much money in her bank account. Using streamers to promote your product or game has become increasingly popular over the last few years, with companies recognizing the power of using content creators to advertise to their loyal fanbase, with thousands of people tuning in to the biggest streamers daily to watch them. This offers these creators incredible new ways to make money and increase their revenue, and when fellow streamer Byron \u2018Reckful\u2019 Bernstein revealed that he had brought a $3 million offer to Pokimane, he was stunned to see her turn it down, revealing that he expected her to take it instantly. Talking together on Sunday, January 27, Reckful revealed that he had come to Pokimane with the sponsorship deal, saying: \u201cI messaged her and said \u2018I have an offer for you, someone wants to pay you $3 million to do this, and it\u2019s not even that bad a thing to do.\u2019 \u201cShe said no. She actually was like; \u2018No, it\u2019s crazy.\u2019 I was like holy sh*t, she said no. I really thought you were going to say yes, but then I tried to go empathetic and then I [realized] that it doesn\u2019t make sense for [you], but I\u2019m sure $3 million is a lot. You\u2019re 23, when I was 23 I had $1300 in my bank account.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t have $3 million in my bank account and that\u2019s why I\u2019m saying no,\u201d the Canadian replied. \u201cI said no because I\u2019m doing fine in life, I\u2019m doing well enough to not want to do things for money that I don\u2019t naturally want to do, even if it\u2019s $3 million.\u201d While the pair did confirm the amount on offer, neither revealed the exact nature of the sponsorship, although it doesn\u2019t appear to have been an offer to jump ship to a rival platform, but rather a sponsorship deal that she decided didn\u2019t suit her. Reckful himself did break some massive news of his own during the Twitch broadcast too, sharing that he recently completed a massive work deal with a tech conglomerate worth $177 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
