Now that you’ve learned how to easily send money on Twitch, maybe you’d like to show consistent support. After all, that’s how you can really help your favorite streamer.

You can also give subs as gifts by buying them for other people.
Now you know how to donate to a Twitch streamer, but how much money does the content creator actually get? And how do Twitch donations work?
Let me explain.
Twitch will charge 50% of the money from subscriptions. There’s a small group of streamers who can retain up to 70% of their earnings. However, that’s very rare and only available to top-tier streamers.

Many people are urging Twitch to change its policy since while the company charges 50%, YouTube takes 30%, and Facebook 0%.
Luckily, direct Twitch donations aren’t affected by any fees. However, Bits are an exception. If you send 100 of them to a streamer for $1.40, Twitch will take around $0.40, which equates to roughly 30%.
Nowadays, people tend to do everything on their mobile devices – from working to watching streams. So, it’ll be good to know how to donate on the Twitch mobile app.
