How Much Is 100 Subs on Twitch?
Subscribing to a Twitch channel helps your favorite streamers financially. Each subscription adds to the streamer’s earnings from Twitch, and with enough subscriptions, they can include more custom emotes on their channel.
When you subscribe, you get to use their emotes however you like. If you’re already subscribed and want to keep supporting the streamer, you can gift subscriptions to other viewers in their community.
How Do Gifted Subs Work on Twitch?
Gifted subs on Twitch are subscriptions that one user can give to another. These subs have the same features as regular subscriptions. Anyone who gets a gifted sub gets to use emotes and join subscriber-only chats. These gifted subs come in three levels: tier 1, tier 2, or tier 3.
You can buy a gifted sub for someone in the chat or for any Twitch user. It doesn’t matter if they’ve never visited the stream; you can still gift a sub to them. You can purchase gifted subs whether the streamer is live or not. When someone receives a gifted sub, they get a notification about it.
How Do You Purchase Gifted Subs on Twitch?
Visit the channel where you want to buy a Gifted Sub. On the right, there is a purple “Subscribe” button. It may also say “Continue Subscription” if you are already subscribed. Press the arrow on this button.
A new screen will appear for buying gifted subs. At the top, you can select if you want to give the sub anonymously.
Click on “Gift to a Specific Viewer” to pick a specific Twitch user to receive the sub. You can gift to any Twitch user, even if they haven’t visited the channel. Some people send gifts to famous streamers like “Ninja” or “Sequisha” for fun. If you don’t pick someone, the system will choose a random person from the community to receive the sub.
After deciding who will receive the gifted sub, you must select how many you want to give and the Tier level. Remember, higher Tiers are more expensive but offer more exclusive channel emotes.
Next, determine the number of gifted subs, ranging from 1 to 100. The maximum for a single session is 100 subs, but you can only gift up to 40 Tier 3 subs at once. If you want to give more, you’ll need to do it multiple times.
If you choose to gift a specific user, you can subscribe them for 1 to 12 months. This generous act can subscribe them to a channel for up to a year.
When you’re set, click “Gift a Subscription” to complete the process. You have now successfully gifted a Twitch Subscription! For more details on gifting subs, refer to Twitch’s official guide.
How Do Streamers Profit from Gifted Subscriptions?
Yes, streamers earn the same from a gifted sub as from a regular sub. Generally, affiliate streamers get half of the subscription cost. For instance, if a tier 1 sub is $4.99, the streamer gets about $2.50. Twitch takes half, and the streamer gets the other half. Partnered streamers usually earn more than 50%, depending on their Twitch contract.
Will Gifted Subscriptions Automatically Renew?
Gifted subs do not automatically renew. They do not result in repeated charges after they end. If you give someone a 3-month sub, they will keep it until it runs out after 3 months. When it expires, there will be no further charges unless you decide to give another sub. There are no unexpected fees on your credit card.
