Million Dollar Contract
Kick, partially owned by Stake.com, has proudly announced that it will spend big money to attract streaming talent. Several months ago, it backed up the claim when it signed xQc to a lucrative content agreement worth as much as $100 million.
The foundation of the nonexclusive agreement is a $70-million payday for xQc that can grow to at least $100M over two years if he meets certain milestones. The deal underscores the growing influence and value of top-tier content creators and highlights the intense competition among streaming platforms vying for exclusive partnerships.
The nonexclusivity of the agreement means that xQc can continue to deliver content through Amazon-owned Twitch as well. He reportedly makes a minimum of $3.4 million a year as a base salary, not including his sponsorship deals.
