Twitch Actions

Let viewers enter with Twitch, and reward them for following, subscribing or spending Channel Points.

Tip

New to Twitch contests? Our Twitch integration page has demos, examples and best practice.

Entrants sign in with Twitch before they complete a Twitch action:

Twitch Entry opens your competition to anyone with a Twitch account. They log in with Twitch and get their entry.

Grow your followers by asking entrants to follow any Twitch channel. They follow in a new window, come back and click Continue, and we check the follow before they get their entries.

Let viewers spend their Channel Points on perks in your campaign, like a custom reward that gives bonus entries.

Note

Channel Points actions can be repeated as often as viewers like. If 100 points buys 10 entries, 200 points buys 20, and so on. Use the cooldown & limits on each reward to control this.

Connect your Twitch account under Connected Account to see your Custom Rewards.

Create a Custom Reward in Gleam

You can create a Channel Points reward right from Gleam, then change how it looks in your Twitch Creator Dashboard:

Customise your Custom Reward in Twitch

Rewards you've made through Gleam show up under Channel Points Reward. You can reuse one in another Competition.

We review redemptions for Gleam rewards automatically, so keep Skip Reward Requests Queue switched off in your Twitch settings.

Your Twitch cooldown & limits decide how often viewers can redeem, like a wait between redemptions or a cap per stream.

Twitch cooldown and limit settings

Entrants click through to your channel and redeem the reward from Twitch chat:

Then they come back and click Continue in the widget.

Run subscriber-only campaigns for your loyal viewers. We check each entrant is currently subscribed to your channel.

Subscribing costs money, and some countries have No Purchase Necessary laws. Switch on A Purchase or Donation is Required to Complete This Action and we add a free entry alternative to your terms, shown only where it's required.

Now and then Twitch doesn't pass the right sign in details back to us, and the login fails. Trying again usually fixes it.

If Twitch's API goes down (502 errors), we can't complete actions. We'll ask entrants to try again later.
