To apply for the KICK Partner Program you need a verified channel, then in the past 30 days an average of 75 concurrent viewers, 30 hours streamed, 25 active subs, 250 unique chatters and 3 VODs, plus at least 250 followers. Meeting them makes you eligible to email KICK's partner team; it doesn't guarantee a place.
KICK publishes its partner bar in its help centre, and it's specific. The part that trips most streamers up isn't the viewer number, it's the step before it. Here's the full list.
The requirements
| Requirement | KICK's bar | Window |
|---|---|---|
| Verification | Your channel is verified on KICK | Before you apply |
| Profile | Relevant social links and a completed About section | Before you apply |
| Average concurrent viewers | At least 75 | Past 30 days |
| Hours streamed | 30 | Past 30 days |
| Active subs | At least 25 | Past 30 days |
| Unique chatters | 250 | Past 30 days |
| VODs | 3 | Past 30 days |
| Followers | At least 250 | Total |
You also have to follow KICK's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, DMCA Policy and its KCIP terms. KICK says these metrics are subject to change while the program is in its early stages, and you can track your progress in your dashboard under Achievements.
The step people skip: verification
KICK's own wording is that your channel must be verified on KICK before you apply to the Partner Program. So the order is verification first, partnership second. If you email the partner team without the checkmark, you're not eligible yet, however good your numbers look.
How to apply
- Check every metric above in the Achievements section of your dashboard.
- Make sure your profile has your social links and a completed About section.
- Email [email protected] from the email address linked to your KICK account.
- Include your KICK username.
- Wait for the reply. KICK says its Partnerships team personally reviews every submission within 24 hours.
Fast Track for established creators
If you already have a following somewhere else, KICK has a shortcut. It says Fast Track gets creators with an established following on another platform into the program without needing to meet the standard streaming requirements, and you don't need to be streaming on KICK yet to apply. KICK doesn't publish a number for 'established', so it's a judgement call on its side.
What gets you refused or removed
- Repeated Terms of Service violations within a 30 day period.
- Joining communities that artificially inflate your stats to hit the targets.
- Going 90 days without streaming.
- Mirror streams, blank streams or pre-recorded content.
If you're refused, KICK says to make sure you meet the initial requirements and wait 30 days before emailing again.
Before partnership
You don't have to wait for partnership to switch on subs. KICK's help centre says you can enable them once you've streamed at least 5 total hours, and those hours are cumulative, so short sessions over several days count. Partnership is the next step up from there.
Keeping partner status
Partnership isn't a one-off test. The same guidelines that can get an application refused can also get partner status removed later, so a regular streaming schedule matters after you're in, not only before. The 90 day inactivity line is the one to watch if you take a break: plan a short stream before the gap gets that long. And if your status is removed, KICK's reapply rule is the same, meet the initial requirements again and wait 30 days.

Age
KICK's guide for parents says under-13s can't use KICK, and that people from 13 (16 in Europe) up to the age of majority, 18 in most places, can only use it with a parent or guardian involved. Factor that in if a young streamer is aiming for partnership.
My verdict
The 75 average viewers is the hard number, but the verification step is the one that wastes most emails. Get verified, fill in your About section and links, then apply the day your dashboard shows every target met. And never inflate your viewers or join view-swapping groups: KICK names stat inflation as grounds for refusal.
