Kick has announced a new partner fast track program being launched in partnership with OTK subsidiary Cross Realm that’s meant to better streamline the Kick partnership process.
The streaming scene is more popular today than ever before, with streamers both old and new having the option to choose between multiple streaming platforms. Creators usually opt to partner with the platform they most want to prioritize to ensure they get various benefits in exchange for having a more consistent streaming schedule there.
The partnership programs of each streaming platform are different, and some require players to meet various requirements. Kick’s newly announced partner fast track program aims to streamline this process for streamers by simplifying its requirements and making it easier for creators to partner with the platform.
The new Kick partner fast track program aims to optimize the partnership process for streamers and content creators by offering more flexible streaming schedules, multiple payment plans, and more.
The program is being launched in collaboration with Cross Realm Inc, a new marketing entity overseen by OTK. Kick’s new partner program has various benefits available to users, and this revised platform should allow for more creators to apply. While an exact date hasn’t been given for when the program will kick off or end, it’s stated to launch sometime in 2025 with a limited run.
In contrast to the old partner requirements, which demanded metrics including 25 subscribers, 100 average concurrent viewers, and more, the new partner program lets streamers apply to be a partner as long as they have over 100 viewers on a streaming platform. Non-streamers need to be established influencers, creators, or online personalities on core platforms. These platforms include TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
The key features highlighted in the announcement post include the creator program’s automated payments, a more flexible payment schedule, the removal of any hourly streaming requirement, direct contract with a dedicated Kick partner manager, 95/5 subscription split, and ad-free viewing for the channel’s viewers. The policies partners must follow while streaming on Kick are all the same as before. These include any rules related to the Kick terms of service, privacy policy, community guidelines, and DMCA policy.
The standard Kick partnership program now has reduced requirements, making it easier than ever before to become a Kick partner.
The minimum requirements creators must meet to be eligible to apply for a partner include the following metrics, measured on a regular basis:
These changes took effect as of March 17, 2025. After meeting these requirements, streamers can contact the email found on the Kick partner program webpage to apply to become a partner on the platform.
