Sub rewards
Give your subscribers free message credits - a thank-you their sub already earned.
Sub rewards turn subscriptions into credits: when someone subs or resubs, they earn credits they can spend on your tip page - a free TTS message, or a free media request if you allow it. No payment involved; it’s a perk of subscribing.
Setting it up
Everything is on the Viewers page, under Sub rewards:
- Rewards - the master toggle.
- Credits per subscription tier - how many credits a Tier 1, 2, and 3 sub earns.
- Min account age (days) - accounts younger than this can’t redeem. Keeps freshly-made throwaways out.
- Must follow the channel - on by default. Credits can only be spent by someone who follows you on Twitch or Kick. A viewer who doesn’t is told to follow first, and their credits wait for them.
- Allow media requests - whether credits can be spent on media as well as messages.
How viewers use it
They sign in with Twitch or Kick on your tip page and toggle Use a free message on the tip form. Their message (and media request, if allowed) goes through the same queue, filter, and overlay as a paid tip - the alert shows it as a sub reward. !credits in chat tells them their balance.
Kick subscriptions have no tiers, so a Kick sub earns your Tier 1 credits.
With Must follow the channel on, the tip page checks that they follow you before each credit is spent - on the account they signed in with, or on an account they’ve linked to it (a Twitch follow counts for someone signed in with Kick, and the other way round). Someone who has just followed can use a credit straight away.
Linked accounts
A viewer with both a Twitch and a Kick account can link them from the tip page’s account page. Credits earned on either account go into one balance they can spend while signed in with either, and their tips and chat stats count together. Unlinking always keeps at least one account.

Banned, timed out or warned
A viewer can’t spend credits while you or your mods have them banned, timed out or warned in your Twitch or Kick chat, on any account they’ve linked. TipPage hears about it the moment it happens, so there’s nothing to set up. Their credits are kept for when it’s over:
- Timeout - they can use credits again as soon as it ends.
- Warning - they can use credits again once they’ve acknowledged the warning in your Twitch chat.
- Ban - they can use credits again if you unban them.
Your tip page shows them a note at the top saying which it is, and the Signed-in viewers table below marks them Banned, Timed out or Warned.
Managing viewers
The Signed-in viewers table shows everyone who’s signed in on your tip page, their sub tier, and their credits - available, used, and total. You can Grant or Revoke credits per viewer, so “the giveaway winner gets 5 free messages” is two clicks. The table is there with rewards off too, if you’ve switched on Let viewers sign in under Settings → Tipping → Donor identity - just without anything to grant.
Each row is one platform account - the Twitch or Kick mark next to the name says which - and a grant lands on that account. If you’ve connected both platforms there’s a filter above the table to show just one of them.
