Kick has emerged as a streaming platform capable of rivaling Twitch and YouTube. Not even Microsoft could challenge its throne with the now-defunct Mixer. But Kick, much to the surprise of many streaming fans, including myself, has managed to sign several high-profile streamers and expand its community.

Their most significant incentive is that streamers receive 95 percent of the income from subscribers on Kick, while a mere five percent goes to the platform. Streamers also receive 100 percent of the tips, which is an excellent deal, especially compared to Twitch’s 70 to 30 percent split.

There is controversy around its ownership. Kick seems to have strong ties to online casino Stake, but that hasn’t stopped popular streamers from joining, including one of my favorites. It’s one of the reasons why some wanted to join.

Here are the top 10 Twitch streamers that joined Kick.

12. Ice Poseidon

Ice Poseidon was permanently banned on Twitch in 2017 after being swatted on an airplane due to a false bomb threat but was looking for a way to return and managed to do so on Kick. In the past, he has drawn negative attention for promoting a controversial cryptocurrency but has managed to accrue more than 50,000 followers on Kick after his return.

Corinaakopf was the first female streamer to switch from Twitch to Kick. Twitch’s restrictions on gambling content were the main reason she decided to switch since most of her streams revolve around it. She has more than 80,000 followers.

10. WestCOL

Despite having almost 700,000 followers on Twitch, Ac7ionman signed with Kick in Feb. 2023. As someone who has faced financial difficulties, he has spoken fondly of his experience. Although he streams on both, he’s been shifting more and more towards Kick.

4. Trainwreck

Trainwreck was one of the first Twitch streamers to sign a deal with Kick, which isn’t all that surprising since he is also a co-owner, an advisor, and an official spokesperson. He has played a pivotal part in helping the platform grow but still streams on Twitch.

3. Adin Ross
