Mega Twitch Star Signs Record $100 Million Deal to Stream on Rival Gaming Platform

Twitch star xQc, who earns millions from subscribers and sponsorships, signed the largest influencer contract ever with start-up streaming platform Kick.
xQc's contract matches or exceeds the pay of star professional athletes and could disrupt the economics of online entertainment and streaming.
Kick takes only a 5% share of subscription revenue from streamers, compared to Twitch's 50% cut, allowing influencers to keep more of their earnings.
While xQc will focus primarily on Kick, his contract allows him to appear on other platforms, indicating Kick's confidence it can compete with major players like Twitch.
Kick is an Australian gaming and gambling company emphasizing generous terms to attract top influencers like xQc in a bid to gain market share.
