Live Revenue

What is Live Revenue?

By enabling this feature, you can collect dangos through live streams and earn rewards based on the number of collected dangos.

  • We will pay rewards to users based on the number of dangos they have collected.
    ※ To reflect the number of dangos in the reward amount, it is a condition to receive Redeemable items.
  • Dangos can be collected based on factors such as the number of views during live streams and the number of items received from other users.
  • Users who meet certain criteria may receive a bonus at the beginning of the month.

How to Enable

Go to "Account Menu" > "Revenue Management" > "Individual Settings" and enable "Live Revenue." Before enabling, you need to complete the upload and review of your identity documents.

  • This feature is available for users aged 18 and above (corporate use is allowed).
  • Live revenue can only be used by users residing in Japan, the United States (excluding California), Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, Singapore, and Indonesia.
  • This feature is available to users who meet one of the following conditions:
    • Users with a cumulative viewing time of over 100 hours in the last 3 months (for users who have enabled the live revenue feature once after October 1, 2022, they can continue to use this feature even if their cumulative viewing time falls below 100 hours in the last 3 months. Also, regarding applications, once the cumulative viewing time condition is met, you can apply at any time.)
    • Users with over 100 subscribers on their YouTube channel (YouTube account linking is required).
    • Users with over 3,000 Twitter followers.
  • If your account is subject to restrictions or if you are considered an inappropriate user, this feature may not be available to you.

What Are Dangos?

  • You can collect dangos when you receive items or when your live recordings are viewed.
  • You can collect dangos even if the live revenue feature is not enabled.
  • Dangos have a validity period of 180 days from the date of acquisition.
  • When you receive Redeemable items (such as Ochabaku 50, 100, 500, and membership-only items), you will receive more dangos than usual, and they will be immediately reflected in the "Details" of your revenues.

Collecting Dangos

You can collect dangos mainly through the following methods.
You can check the number of dangos you have in "Account Menu" > "Revenue Management" > "Live Revenue."

  • When your live recordings are viewed by other users.
    It may take some time for the number of dangos to be reflected in the case of recorded views.
  • When you receive items (all items, including those that can be used with free points).
    The dangos collected from items will have bonus dangos based on various conditions.
  • When you receive Redeemable items.
    Redeemableitems provide more bonus dangos than regular items.

※ The number of bonus dangos may vary depending on the payment method at the time of point purchase.

 

Reflecting Dangos in revenues

  • When you receive Redeemable items, the number of dangos, including those from Redeemable items, will be reflected in the "Details" of your revenue based on TwitCasting's conversion rate (not disclosed), and the revenue amount will be determined.
  • When dangos are reflected in the "Details" of live revenue, the reflected dangos will decrease.
