Kick (also known as Kick.com) is a video livestreaming service. It is operated by Kick Streaming Pty Ltd and backed by Stake.com co-founders Bijan Tehrani, Ed Craven, and streaming personality Trainwreckstv. Kick was founded in 2022 as a competitor to Amazon-owned Twitch, with a focus on looser moderation and higher revenue shares for streamers.[1][2][3] Kick is mostly known for its 5% revenue charge, as well as its 2023 deals with multiple streamers formerly prominent on Twitch, most notably including Hikaru Nakamura, Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, Nickmercs, Adin Ross, Amouranth, Ice Poseidon, and xQc.[4][1][5]
As of June 2023, Kick averages 235,000 livestreams per day.[4]
