Our partnership program is for serious broadcasters that are passionate about sharing their content on Caffeine. Partners have a sizable audience, stream a variety of content, and are role models for the community. We work with our partners closely to make sure they are growing as an entertainer so they can turn their passion for streaming into a career.

How do I become a partner?
Anyone who meets the requirements below in the 3 months prior to each cycle will be eligible for selection. A lot of consideration goes into the selection process and not all broadcasters who meet the minimum will be chosen. You will receive an email one week prior to the cycle start date.
What are the minimum requirements to be eligible for consideration?
You must hit all of the following requirements at the end of the 3-month evaluation period to join the next cycle:
Broadcasting requirements
-
120 broadcast hours or 40 broadcast hours a month
-
39 unique broadcast days or 13 unique days a month
Viewership requirements
-
15 average concurrent viewers across your top 5 broadcasts within a given cycle
-
Example: You broadcast 45 times in 3 months - we look at the top 5 broadcasts and if the average concurrent viewership is 15+ you are qualified to continue in the program
-
Additional requirements
-
At least 100 followers
-
No bans or offenses on your account
-
Must be at least 13 years of age
-
Must be broadcasting for 30 minutes or longer to count toward the program
What else helps for consideration into the partner program?
We look at a number of other factors when considering broadcasters for the partner program, including variety of content, viewership growth, attitude, and passion for entertaining.
When is eligibility determined?
Similar to Casters eligibility is determined four times annually, one week prior to the start of each quarterly cycle.
For each cycle, the Qualification Period is the window of time we’re looking at to determine whether you’ve met the requirements for the program. At the end of this period (also the beginning of the opt in period), all eligible broadcasters will receive an email invitation to join the program, beginning with that next cycle. (For example: Hit your broadcast requirements from January 1 - March 24, receive your opt in email March 25, Opt In on or before March 31, gain access to benefits as early as April 1.)
Can I track my progress toward eligibility?
We will track your progress internally, but we also recommend tracking your own hours. If you would like to formally check in, please reach out to Sylar on Discord.
What happens if I hit some of the requirements but not all while I’m in the program?
You will still receive the $ incentives month to month if you hit the minimum broadcasting requirements. If you are unable to meet either the broadcasting or viewership requirements you will no longer be eligible for the program.
Example 1
You’ve hit the broadcasting requirements for the first three months (180 hours and 48 days) but were unable to meet the viewership requirements. You would not qualify for the partner program the next three month cycle.
Example 2
You were unable to hit the broadcasting requirements for the first month - but are able to make it up in the following two months hitting the 180 hours and 48 days. You meet the viewership requirements as well - you are still eligible for the program moving into the next cycle.
What if I have a following on another platform and I want to make Caffeine my home?
We’d love to help support your community on Caffeine and you can submit an inquiry here if you meet one of the following:
-
100k + views in the last 30 days on YouTube
-
100+ average concurrent viewers on other platforms
-
A celebrity or industry-related account
I no longer wish to participate, what do I do?
As part of the Partner program, you will receive the benefits shared above. If you wish to leave the program, you will forfeit these benefits immediately, please message Sylar on Discord. Alternatively, if you are no longer eligible at the beginning of the next cycle, your benefits will be automatically revoked.
What happens after I opt in and sign all the paperwork for Partners?
You should be able to see your benefits within the first week of the cycle start. Make sure you also join our Discord for important updates and information.
How do I know who else is in the program and get in contact with them?
Partners will receive a badge (coming soon) on their Caffeine account, which will be visible anywhere their username appears on Caffeine. Participants will also be given the "Partner" role on Discord and gain access to a private Discord channel, where you can find updates from the Caffeine community team, collaboration opportunities, and an engaged group of other content creators.
I have to go away and will miss a few weeks/months of the program, what happens to my participation/badging?
We understand that sometimes unforeseen circumstances can affect your ability to broadcast, just note you have the entire cycle to make up for lost hours and where possible, we will try to allow some flexibility. Please message Sylar directly in Discord. Please note that these discussions should be rare, and that in certain cases, our suggestion may be to step away from the program for a cycle and reapply when your schedule allows it.
Will there be higher tiers?
For now, we’re focused on making our current programs excel, but there may be new programs in the future as we continue to grow our community.
How do you make money on Caffeine?
You don’t need to be a part of any program to start broadcasting or earning money on Caffeine. Learn more about earning money on Caffeine with credits and gold here.
What does it mean to have a ban or offense on my account?
You are not eligible for the Partner program if you have any bans or offenses on your account. If your broadcasts, messages, or account violate our Terms of Service or Community Rules, you may receive a warning or even a short-term ban. If any action is taken against your account for such a violation, a note will be sent to your Caffeine registered email. We reserve the right to remove partners from the program and revoke their status at any time.
How do I report inappropriate content from other Partners?
If ever you see inappropriate broadcasts or messages on Caffeine, whether it involves a Partner or not, we encourage you to use the in-platform report feature to alert our moderation team in-the-moment. If you’re particularly concerned regarding repeat violations of the Terms of Service or Community Rules by a Caster, or otherwise witness misuse of Caster status, please feel free to message Sylar directly on Discord to report it.
I have a question, who can I ask?
If you have a question that is not answered in this FAQ, please feel free to reach out to Sylar on Discord.
We believe in a safe space, where users are accountable, have a sense of belonging, and are free to create, and enjoy the best in live social broadcasting.
