FAKE ENGAGEMENT DOESN’T EARN. |
Views, followers or watch time generated through bots, coordinated inauthentic accounts or third-party engagement tools are never counted toward Kick Partner Program eligibility or your ongoing payout rate.
1. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE FIND IT
If we determine that a fast-track application, an existing KPP account or a specific payout period relied on inauthentic engagement:
WHAT RELIED ON IT | WHAT HAPPENS |
Fast-track application or claim | Rejected. |
A payout period | The affected payment is reversed. |
An existing KPP account | Suspended while we investigate, or terminated outright for confirmed cases. |
The channel itself | Depending on severity and history, a channel ban is independent of its KPP status. |
2. HOW WE MONITOR IT
Platform-wide. We actively monitor for engagement manipulation across KICK. | Methods stay private. We don't disclose specific detection methods, because publishing them would only help bad actors evade. |
3. IF YOUR PAYOUT LOOKS OFF
If your payout looks lower than expected, we first check whether botting or similar activity explains the difference before assuming an error on our end. We also work with our monitoring team to identify other legitimate causes before finalising a response.
THE BOTTOM LINE Genuine, organic growth takes time, and we don't expect every stream to perform the same. Building numbers through artificial means will not be rewarded, and puts your standing in the program at risk. |
