Bits and channel points
Where bits are available, viewers can spend them in Stream Bounty on two things:
- Extra cards. Each extra card is another chance to win, and can be claimed on its own.
- Extra votes in a voting round, beyond the free one.
Who can use bits
Section titled “Who can use bits”Any channel with monetization set up on Twitch. Twitch used to limit this to Affiliates and Partners, and no longer does. If you haven’t set it up, do it in your Creator Dashboard under Monetization. Until then viewers can’t get extra cards or votes with bits, and everything else in Stream Bounty works without it.
Setting the prices
Section titled “Setting the prices”Bits are set up in Twitch, not in Stream Bounty’s own configuration. In your Creator Dashboard, go to Extensions, find Stream Bounty and manage its bits settings there. You choose how many bits an extra card costs and how many an extra vote costs.
If you’d rather viewers couldn’t buy extra cards, you can turn that off.
Who gets the bits
Section titled “Who gets the bits”Twitch splits bits spent in an extension between you and the extension’s developers: you receive 80% and we receive 20%. Twitch sets this split and it can’t be changed. We put our share into making Stream Bounty better.
To see how many bits have been used on your channel through Stream Bounty, look in the Bits settings in the configuration.
Channel point rewards
Section titled “Channel point rewards”Stream Bounty can add three custom rewards to your channel. Turn on the ones you want in Channel Rewards:
| Reward | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start a vote | Starts a voting round |
| Call a random event | Calls a random event that hasn’t been called |
| Call all uncalled events | Calls everything that is left. One to price high |
To use these:
- Link your Twitch account, so Stream Bounty can create the rewards.
- Channel Points must be turned on for your channel. If they aren’t, finish monetization setup in your Creator Dashboard under Monetization, then Setup. You don’t need to be an Affiliate for this.
