Twitch has adjusted its Partner program requirements, making it notably easier for streamers in Latin America to reach Partner status. This change addresses regional challenges and opens new doors for creators in that area.
Becoming a Twitch Partner unlocks subscriber options, ad deals, and revenue opportunities through the bounty board. While the criteria have shifted slightly over the years, consistency and audience growth remain key. However, Latin American streamers have faced hurdles, especially with the Partner Plus tier.
Lowered Thresholds for Latin America
Twitch has cut the required Plus Points in half for Latin American streamers. For Level 1, which offers a 60/40 revenue split, streamers need 50 Plus Points for three consecutive months instead of 100. Level 2, with a 70/30 split, requires 200 Plus Points down from 300 over the same period.
According to Twitch, “The data we have tells us that cultural nuances and economic realities in LATAM have made it difficult for creators of similar size to meet Plus program requirements compared to those in other regions. Given this, we see an opportunity to better support creators in LATAM by making higher revenue shares more accessible.”
Here’s the official announcement from Twitch Support:

The response from the Latin American streaming community has been overwhelmingly positive. One streamer called it “great news,” while another praised it as a “thoughtful approach.”
Twitch also mentioned plans to continue improving support for creators worldwide, which has sparked curiosity among US and European streamers about potential future adjustments.
