In the world of online broadcasting, it is very common for a streamer to sign a multi-million deal with a platform. Viewers can also notice that these persons sign sponsorship deals with other brands that they promote on their streams.
In the last few weeks, there were a lot of rumors about Adin Ross signing a stunning $150 million deal with Kick. It is referred to as the biggest streaming deal that any creator has signed so far. Below we will elaborate on everything there is to know about Adin Ross' Kick agreement.
Adin Ross is a famous American streamer that fans know mostly from his live broadcasts of NBA 2K and GTA V. His net worth circulates around $24 million, which is a pretty big sum for a streamer.
Ross’ popularity skyrocketed in 2020 when he bet several thousand dollars with Bronny, LeBron James' son on an NBA 2K game. On one occasion LeBron James joined in on a call during one of his streams. Since then he regularly collaborates with popular rappers, prominent influencers, and other famous people.
His Twitch account gained many viewers as a result of his e-date streams. However, Ross' time on the platform came to an end in February 2023 following a permanent ban. This can as a result of his showing of unmoderated hateful conduct in chat.
It is worth noting that this wasn't his first time receiving a ban from Twitch. That has occurred on two other occasions, the first in April 2021 and the second in April 2022.
On the 12th of February, Adin Ross announced that he was joining the new streaming platform Kick. The terms of service at Kick are more tolerant than the ones at Twitch.
The alleged deal that Kick signed with Adin Ross is worth $150 million, or so the streamer says it's worth. This jaw-dropping information came from a discussion between Ross and online reporter Jake Lucky, during one of his Kick streams. Quite a considerable sum considering that Adin’s net worth is estimated at USD 24 Million.
Ross and Trainwreck both said that this is a record-breaking deal, surpassing the enormous agreements that Nickmercs and Ninja signed. Just as a comparison, the deal that Ninja clinched with Mixer goes somewhere in the region of $30 which may go even higher up to $50 million.
Rumors indicated that Ross' deal with Kick comes with a length of two years. However, both Ross and Trainwreckstv deny these claims as well as the estimated figures.
Trainwreck then also revealed that streaming deals get messy as there is a bundle of things included in there. In case you didn't know, Stake, one of the most famous online casinos at the moment, owns the Kick streaming platform.
In recent months, Kick signed deals with a few famous streamers. Some believe that the deal with Adin Ross might get them IshowSpeed. A few weeks ago, Ross advised Speed to join him on Kick following his strikes on YouTube.
Yet, we still don’t know with certainty what the bundle in the featured deal is. We believe that it will emerge to the surface sooner rather than later, just like the agreements with other streamers in the past.
Not long after the announcement of this major deal, other statements emerged indicating that it was false. The news about the $150 million deal with Kick almost broke the internet and now we once again open this story.
During Ross' interview with Jake Lucky, Trainwreck advised everyone not to listen to Adin's update page. He added that the person running that page does not post relevant information.
Then Jake asked both streamers if the deal was worth $150 million, which they both denied. Ross also added that he never published any actual numbers about his deal with the Kick streaming platform.
Trainwreck once again pointed out that the person running Adin’s update page is using several factual statements to cover a past factual statement. This means that no one should trust him with unsupported information, especially if it features numbers.
As it turns out the $150 million deal that Adin Ross signed with Kick for his streaming services falls after all. Not to confuse everyone, there is an agreement on the table, but it's not as big as the rumors indicate.
The numbers about this record-breaking deal are still a secret at the moment. However, judging from past situations they won't remain in the dark for a long period of time, especially if the deal is enormous as Ross and Trainwreck say it is.
