How to Access Prime Gaming (Formerly Twitch Prime)
How to Use Your Free Prime Gaming Channel Subscription
As a Prime Gaming member, you can subscribe every month to a Twitch Partner or Affiliate channel and get the channel-specific perks that come with it, such as chat privileges, emoticons, badges, and more. Here’s how:
How to Cancel A Free Prime Gaming Channel Subscription
To cancel your free Prime Gaming channel subscription, simply wait for the end of the current 30-day subscription period. After that, it expires and you’re free to sub to another Affiliate or Partner channel.
How to Switch From a Paid Subscription to Free
You can switch from a paid channel subscription to the free Prime Gaming option without breaking your streak on a channel. It requires you to cancel your current paid sub before making the change. Here’s how to do it:
What Is a Twitch Subscription?
A Twitch subscription is a recurring payment made to individual channels on the streaming service. Beyond donations, they’re one of the most popular ways viewers support their favorite broadcasters. They give streamers a recurring source of income and they give subscribers a variety of digital rewards such as new emotes, badges, an ad-free viewing experience on the subscribed channel, and access to exclusive Twitch chatrooms.
How Much Money Does the Twitch Streamer Get?
The free Twitch subscription provided by Prime Gaming is only valued at $4.99, the lowest subscription tier. This subscription functions exactly the same way as it would if you paid for it out of your own pocket so the streamer receives 50 percent of the total donation fee, around $2.50, and Twitch keeps the rest.
