What are these ads?
KICK now shows scheduled video ads within the Slots & Casino category. These are ads purchased by advertisers who buy placements on the platform.
Why is KICK adding ads to the Slots & Casino category?
Advertising is an important step in KICK's broader platform development. The revenue generated from ads directly funds the continuous growth, infrastructure stability, and feature updates that improve the experience for both streamers and viewers.
Where are these ads shown?
Right now, scheduled video ads are only shown in the Slots & Casino category. We'll always communicate any changes to our advertising approach through our official channels.
How long do the ads last?
Ad breaks in the Slots & Casino category run for 30 seconds. Most ads include a countdown timer in the corner so you can see how much time is left.
How often will ads be shown?
Ad frequency in the Slots & Casino category depends on the scheduled advertising arrangements in place. We understand ad frequency matters to viewers, and we're committed to keeping the viewing experience reasonable.
What if an ad plays over a key moment in the stream?
We have developed a feature that allows streamers to temporarily defer ad breaks directly within their streamer dashboards, should they wish to avoid interrupting the stream.
If an ad played over a key moment, you can always rewind to watch the moment uninterrupted.
Will an ad be included in a clip I create if it plays during the clipping process?
No. Clipping captures content exclusively from the stream, not from the ad.
Are the ads skippable?
The video ads shown in Slots & Casino livestreams are not skippable.
An ad was inappropriate or misleading. Who do I report it to?
If you believe an ad was inappropriate, misleading, or in breach of advertising standards, please contact support with as much detail as possible, including the advertiser's name, what the ad contained, and when you saw it. We'll escalate your report to the appropriate team for review.
Which companies are advertising in Slots & Casino?
KICK works with a range of advertisers who purchase ad placements on the platform. We're not able to share a full list of current advertisers, as it may change over time and won't be the same experience for everyone. If you have a concern about a specific advertiser or ad, let us know and we'll look into it.
I'm subscribed to a Slots creator. Why am I still seeing ads?
We understand this isn't the experience you were hoping for as a subscriber, and we appreciate your feedback. We're actively collecting feedback on this topic and exploring ways to improve the ad experience for subscribers. We'll share updates through our official channels when we have more to announce.
