How Twitch Channel Points Work
Twitch Channel Points are a customizable rewards program that allows streamers to reward their community members with perks, often used for unlocking emotes, highlighting messages, or triggering on-stream alerts. Points are earned automatically by watching, but the rate varies based on your engagement levels and subscription status.
Standard Earning Rates
| Action | Points | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Watching (Non-Sub) | 10 | Per 5 Minutes |
| Active Claim (Clicking) | 50 | Per 15 Minutes |
| Following | 300 | One-time |
| Participating in Raid | 250 | Per Raid |
Multiplier Benefits
If you subscribe to a channel, your "Passive Watching" points receive a multiplier. Note that this multiplier only applies to the base 10 points earned every 5 minutes, not the active claim bonuses or one-time events.
- Tier 1: 1.2x Multiplier
- Tier 2: 1.4x Multiplier
- Tier 3: 2.0x Multiplier
Example Calculation
If you watch a stream for 2 hours (120 minutes) as a Tier 1 subscriber and click every bonus:
- Passive: (120 mins / 5 mins) * 10 pts * 1.2 = 288 points
- Active: (120 mins / 15 mins) * 50 pts = 400 points
- Total: 688 points
