Kick reportedly offered Twitch streamers Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed $40 million for a move. According to Kai, however, this is nonsense.
New York – For a long time, the Twitch platform held an untouchable position as the streaming top dog. In the months since the end of 2022, however, Twitch has faced increasing competition. The new website Kick is now contesting Twitch's position and wants to persuade more and more streamer stars to switch. Adin Ross, the unofficial face of Kick, recently claimed that the site had made two gigantic offers to Twitch's biggest streamers. Now there is new confusion about the alleged million-dollar offers.
"Face of Kick" speaks of 40 million dollar deals – Will be immediately exposed
Here's what Adin Ross claims: The streamer Adin Ross has been active on Kick since March and has become the site's figurehead during this time. In this position, however, he has not only covered himself with fame so far. In addition to Adin Ross' alleged incitement to violence against trans people, he has said a few things about the acquisition of new streamers, whose credibility is increasingly being doubted.
About Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, probably the biggest streamers in the world, he recently spoke of enormous change offers. Allegedly, Kick would have both Kai "Kai Cenat" Cenat III and Daren Watkins Jr. AKA. IShowSpeed deals of $40 million each. Both are said to have rejected this offer, justified by the announcement of a joint streaming show at competitor Rumble.
Kai Cenat exposes lies: It has now been confirmed that IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat will launch a joint show on Rumble. Due to the existing ban on Speed, both streamers have to switch to another platform for a show organized together. However, this does not necessarily mean that the offer through Kick mentioned by Adin Ross existed at all. Cenat has commented on Adin Ross's claims in his stream, clarifying: "That's cap".
Who founded Kick?
Until December 2022, it was still a common assumption that Trainwreckstv had been involved in the founding of Kick. The speculation went so far that Trainwreck himself had to clear up the rumors in a longer tweet. It is now known that Kick is owned by EasyGo Entertainment, whose founders were already involved in the creation of stake.com, one of the largest portals for online gambling.
But Kai Cenat has also been critical of the mere fact that Adin Ross has made such a claim publicly. "Even if that were an offer, why even talk about it?" He probably also took a similar path in negotiations with Rumble for the broadcast with IShowSpeed. There are no more details about a deal. Rumor has it that a sum of 100 million dollars was recently in the room, but neither the streamers nor Rumble itself have confirmed this.
Kick: Rumors of new streamer changes raise questions about finances
Kick has already wanted to poach several streamers: In the past, Kick has been said to want to poach various stars of the streaming scene from Twitch. Such claims were recently reinforced by kick-streamer Trainwreck, who spoke of 6 major changes. Adin Ross himself changed by what he said was the "biggest streaming deal of all time".

As a result, new questions are now being raised as to how Kick is supposed to provide the necessary finances for such large and many new additions and changes. With the allegedly gigantic deal and the apparently false offers to Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, the question arises as to how Kick is supposed to have amounts in the possibly three-digit million range up its sleeve. Suspicions are now accumulating as to whether Kick could draw money from its parent company, which also operates the gambling platform Stake.
