Rules Clarification Pls

[Samoht]

And that's how coercing more to watch by offering in-game incentives can be considered RMT.

Two things come with Partnership status with Twitch.tv

1. Ad revenue - which I believe is on a tier'ed payout. This is pennies.
2. Sub Button - which is normally $4.99/mo ( streamer only gets like 1/10th of that - the rest goes to Twitch )

The real money comes from Sponsors and donations directly to the streamer.

Just sayin.

So streaming on twitch if you receive donations or get partnered makes you wonder if it's breaking the rmt rule?
edit: just to clarify i know he was talking about in game giveaways to his viewers / subs.

*facepalm* What a ridiculous topic

By the way it's in the twitch rules that if you're going to have something like tickets that even non subscribers can get them. You can do sub only giveaways but it's finicky do to the law of certain states.

Next thing you know having a job to pay for the internet to farm pixels on p99 will cause people to think they're rmting.

Baler - I think you may be confused on a few points. Or maybe just mixing up terms.
A Follower is not the same as a Sub. Those are two totally different things.
There are various reddit and postings about rules and legality.

I think what you may be referring to is LIMITING the give-away to SUB only. Which may or may not be legal, still debated and not updated currently or being enforced by twitch.

http://www.twitch.tv/user/legal
Section 11 Sub F.

This is not what the nature of this post is asking at all.

Sirken did exactly this during the VOS announcement a month ago. Raffle for in game items.

Mycah I know it's not exactly what you are looking for however, someone did something similar for a charity event that did use real money donations. So if you tweak it to substitute real money for your twitch points, and/or ask permission via gms. I think you'll be ok.

See you in game.

I'd heard it was a 50/50 split... you get $2.50, Twitch (YouTube/Google/etc) gets $2.50

Not all parnters gets 50/50. Only the big time streamers get 50/50. Lower tier streamers get a smaller cut. Or at least thats what i remember a streamer saying one time.

Mycath, the only way to get staff attention is to petition in the forum or ask a guild leader to personally ask staff out of game.

I always took the spirit of the rule to be: You cannot trade something that has value external to the everquest environment for anything that does have value internal to the everquest environment; or vice versa.
