Twitch affiliate program
Gaming and live streaming · twitch.tv
Creator programme only
Twitch does not run an affiliate program for promoting Twitch: what it has is a programme that pays creators on its own platform.
Twitch has no program that pays you for referring viewers or streamers to Twitch that we could find. 'Twitch Affiliate' is a status for streamers: Twitch says a channel must first achieve it before it can earn from subscriptions, Bits, ads and sponsorships on Twitch.
