Kick offered big stream deal to Adin Ross, iShowSpeed, Kai Cenat

Khizar Mundia Published 18/07/2025

Adin Ross revealed in a live stream that Kick CEO Eddie Craven had offered iShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and Ross a multi-million dollar deal to stream on the Stake-backed platform.

Kick is currently riding momentum in some streaming circles because of its greater profit share and the high potential of its partner program, which can increase streamers’ earning potential. The platform has also managed to outperform Twitch in the Spanish-speaking market of late. Kick has put in significant effort and resources to achieve these milestones, and to attract more streamers and viewers.

Kick was once best-known for offering massive deals to streamers to leave competing platforms and stream exclusively on Kick. Felix “xQc” Lengyel reportedly joined Kick with a massive deal worth $100 million. In a recent stream, Adin Ross revealed that Kick once offered a big-money deal alongside iShowSpeed and Kai Ceant.

How much did Kick offer Adin Ross, iShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat to stream?

According to Adin Ross, Kick CEO Eddie Craven collectively offered $140 million to iShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and Ross to stream on Kick.

In a recent stream, Kai Cenat talked about why he has remained on Twitch and had never signed with Kick or other platforms. The popular Twitch streamer stated that signing such a contract would allow someone else to control his streaming activities. He said everything, ranging from his streaming time to his community, would be in someone else’s control. The content creator then revealed he has turned down millions of dollars worth of deals to stay on Amazon-backed Twitch. He said he was financially stable back in 2022, so Kick’s massive offer didn’t entice him, and he easily turned it down.

Adin Ross discussed Kai Cenat’s rejection of the Kick deal in one of his streams. The Kick streamer revealed that Eddie Craven had offered a $140 million one-year deal to Adin Ross, iShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat. The deal was open to renewal depending on how successful the trio was with viewers. According to the deal, the streamers were required to stream exclusively on Kick, but gambling whlie streaming wasn’t a set requirement. Adin went on to say that that he understood Kai’s perspective, but that Eddie is probably happy the trio didn’t sign the multi-million-dollar deal. The total per-streamer signing amount would’ve been over $46 million, which is on the higher side even for a platform as flush with resources as is Kick.

Craven had offered this high-figure deal to Adin Ross, iShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat when Kick was still a newer streaming platform. At the time, Kick needed popular streamers to attract viewers so the platform could become successful. Kick no longer offers these deals and instead wants streamers to earn their money with the viewers they bring in, aiming to attract them with potentially lucrative opportunities rather than set guarantees paid upfront.
