Streamer Sponsorship Checklist: Delivery, Proof and Payment

This streamer sponsorship checklist covers what you do before, during and after a sponsored stream, so the sponsor can see every deliverable happened and your invoice is approved the first time. It is written for casino and crypto casino deals, mostly on Kick, with Twitch rules noted where they differ.

Quick answer: Work in four stages. Before you sign, turn the deal into a list of deliverables with agreed proof. Before you go live, test every link, code, overlay and disclosure. During the stream, deliver on time and capture proof. After it, save the VOD, send a proof pack within 48 hours and invoice against the list. The 40 checks below cover all four.

LuvKaizen works with casino and crypto casino brands that sponsor streamers. We match you with a brand that fits your audience and accepts your viewers' countries, and we negotiate the deal with you. Applying is free.

Why Sponsored Streams Get Disputed

Most payment delays on sponsored streams happen because nobody can show a deliverable was done the way the deal described it. The brand's team rarely watches the whole stream live.

Brands also check harder than they used to. In Q2 2025, at least 10% of Twitch channels with 50 or more average viewers showed clear signs of persistent viewbotting, and more than 16% of Kick channels of that size were suspected viewbotters, according to a Streams Charts and Audiencly report (Tubefilter, 26 September 2025). A clean proof pack sets you apart.

Twitch deletes past broadcasts after a set period and has capped highlights and uploads at 100 hours per channel since 19 April 2025 (TechCrunch, 20 February 2025), so save proof within a day.

Stage 1: Before You Sign, Turn the Deal Into a Deliverables List

A line like "three sponsored streams with mentions" is where disputes start. Rewrite the scope as one line per deliverable and agree the proof for each.

1. List every deliverable separately. Stream hours, spoken mentions, overlay, chat command, panel, title tag and follow up clips are each a line.
2. Write the spec for each line. For example: at least 3 hours live in the Slots & Casino category.
3. Fix the dates and the time zone. Agree the start window and how to move a stream.
4. Agree the viewer metric. Average viewers, peak viewers or hours watched, the source, and any minimum.
5. Set the mention rules. How many, how often and how long.
6. Get approved talking points in writing, including banned claims such as promising wins.
7. Confirm the countries. The brand must be licensed where your viewers are. Ask which countries it accepts.
8. Agree the proof pack. Which screenshots and exports the brand wants, and by when.
9. Tie payment to deliverables. When each payment is due and what happens if one line is missed.
10. Agree make good rules. If a stream is cut short or a link breaks: an extra segment, an extra stream or a partial fee.

Three example lines:

Stage 2: Before You Go Live, Test Everything

Run these 24 hours before the stream and again 30 minutes before you go live.

11. Open the tracked link on phone and desktop and check it lands on the approved country page.
12. Test the promo code. It must be active and spelled as you will say it.
13. Set up the chat command and pinned message with the tracked link, and test the command.
14. Check the overlay in a preview. Camera, alerts and game interface must not cover the logo.
15. Add the sponsor link to your panel with a disclosure next to it.
16. Turn on the platform's disclosure setting. Kick and Twitch require their Branded Content tool.
17. Put #Ad or #Sponsored in your stream title. Kick asks for plain words like Paid Promotion, not Partner or Collab.
18. Set the age label and the correct category. Kick requires both on gambling streams.
19. Check the brand against the platform's rules in the table below.
20. Start your proof log, one row per deliverable.

Stage 3: During the Stream, Deliver and Capture Proof

Deliver what you promised, and leave a trail the brand can check without watching every minute.

21. Say the disclosure out loud at the start of the sponsored segment and repeat it during the stream. The US FTC says to repeat live stream disclosures periodically for viewers who join late (FTC, Disclosures 101).
22. Do each spoken mention at the agreed time and write the timestamp in your proof log.
23. Screenshot the overlay at the start, the middle and the end of the stream.
24. Screenshot the chat command and pinned message working at least once.
25. Stick to the approved talking points. Never promise wins or present gambling as income.
26. Keep minors out. Kick bars minors from all gambling related activity. Let your mods handle anyone who says they are under 18.
27. Give the responsible gambling message the brand asks for.
28. No buy ins from viewers. Kick prohibits gambling with other users' funds, such as giveaway buy ins.
29. Log anything that goes wrong with the time: a link outage, a crash, a drop. Tell the brand the same day.
30. Stay live for the agreed length, or log when and why you ended early.

Stage 4: After the Stream, Send the Proof Pack

31. Save the VOD the same day. Download it or export the sponsored part as a highlight.
32. Check the VOD shows the overlay and the mentions where your log says.
33. Correct your timestamps against the VOD.
34. Screenshot your stream analytics: average and peak viewers, hours watched, chat messages and unique chatters for that stream.
35. Ask the brand for link and code results if you have no dashboard access.
36. Post the agreed clips with the same disclosure, and add their URLs.
37. Send the proof pack within 48 hours, formatted as below.
38. Invoice line by line against the deliverables list.
39. Keep every file until you are paid and any review period has ended.
40. Ask for feedback and the next date.
