Twitch Is Halving Its Creator Payout Minimum

Twitch is lowering its creator payout threshold—and says once this change is fully rolled out, it expects upward of 70,000 streamers “will see more regular payouts.”

Currently, Twitch affiliates and partners must bring in a total of $100 (post revenue split with Twitch) from things like subscriptions, donations, and Bits before they can cash out their earnings.

After the change, that figure will be halved to $50.

In a company blog post, Twitch says lowering the threshold is “one important step towards creating a faster, easier payout experience.”

“One day, we’d love for you ot wrap up your stream and already have the money you earned from that stream in your wallet,” it added.

Twitch didn’t directly explain why this isn’t possible now, but later in the post noted that wire transfer payouts will still require a $100 minimum due to transfer fees, so it’s possible that’s the reason immediate, any-amount payments aren’t viable yet. (Payouts made through PayPal, direct deposit, eCheck, and regular check are the ones eligible for the $50 minimum.)

The new minimum will start rolling out country by country on July 15, beginning with Argentina, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and Taiwan. New countries will be added in batches each month through November.

Creators will be notified when they’re eligible for the $50 payout, Twitch says.
