Points
What each event earns in points, what Twitch, Kick and YouTube events are worth, and where points go
Viewers earn a points balance from ordinary stream activity. These tables list what each event earns, what Twitch, Kick and YouTube purchases are worth in diamonds, and where the points go.
Points per event
Set these in SettingsPointsPoints economy. Each takes 0–100,000, and you can change them while Award points is off, to set things up before you switch it on.
| Rate | Default | Earned | Sent by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per like | 1 | For each like | TikTok LIVE |
| Per comment | 2 | For each chat message | TikTok LIVE, Twitch, Kick, YouTube |
| Per share | 10 | For each share | TikTok LIVE |
| Per follow | 25 | For a follow | TikTok LIVE, Twitch, Kick |
| Per subscribe | 100 | For a subscription or a YouTube membership | TikTok LIVE, Twitch, Kick, YouTube |
| Per join | 0 | When a viewer joins the LIVE | TikTok LIVE |
| Per diamond | 1 | For each diamond a gift is worth | TikTok LIVE, Twitch, Kick, YouTube |
| Setting | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Award points | Off | On or off. Off stops earning; balances stay |
| Call them | points | Up to 24 characters; what overlays call the currency |
A gift pays out once, when its combo ends: a Rose x10 earns 10 times the Per diamond rate, not a payout for every step of the combo. A 1,000-diamond gift earns 1,000 times the rate, so this one adds up quickly on a busy stream.
What Twitch, Kick and YouTube events are worth
Twitch, Kick and YouTube purchases count as gifts worth a number of diamonds, so the same gift events, goals, leaderboards and Per diamond rate cover every platform. Set them in SettingsPointsWhat events are worth. The card appears once Twitch, Kick or YouTube has connected, and shows only the rates of platforms you have connected.
| Rate | Platform | Default | Counts as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamonds per bit | Twitch | 2 | A Cheer gift |
| Diamonds per channel point | Twitch | 0 | A gift named after the reward |
| Tier 1 sub | Twitch | 500 | Each sub in a Gift Sub |
| Tier 2 sub | Twitch | 1,000 | Each sub in a Gift Sub |
| Tier 3 sub | Twitch | 2,500 | Each sub in a Gift Sub |
| Diamonds per Kick | Kick | 2 | A Kicks gift |
| Kick sub | Kick | 476 | Each sub in a Gift Sub |
| Diamonds per Kick reward point | Kick | 0 | A gift named after the reward |
| Diamonds per US$ of Super Chat | YouTube | 140 | A Super Chat or Super Sticker gift |
| Gifted YouTube membership | YouTube | 700 | Each membership in a Gift Sub |
Each rate takes 0–1,000,000. The defaults follow what each currency pays the streamer: a TikTok diamond is about US$0.005 and a bit about US$0.01, so one bit is worth two diamonds. A Super Chat pays the streamer about 70% of what the viewer spent, so a dollar of it is worth 140. Channel points and Kick rewards cost viewers nothing real, so they are worth 0 until you raise them.
A Super Chat in another currency is converted to US dollars first, at a fixed approximate rate. YouTube Jewels gifts are worth no diamonds, because YouTube does not say what they cost.
These rates value gifted subs and gifted memberships, which reach Vfinity as the
gifter's gift. They all count as Gift Sub, the same name on Twitch, Kick and
YouTube, so one gift event covers all three. A subscription or membership itself
earns the viewer Per subscribe.
Where points are used
| Place | How |
|---|---|
| Points Ranking | A leaderboard of the viewers with the most points |
| Goals | The points metric |
| Chat message events | Points cost per command, 0–1,000,000, spent when the command runs |
| Step text | {points}, the viewer's balance after any cost |
A command's cost is taken only when the event runs, and given back if the queued run is thrown away before it starts.
Balances
- Balances are kept per viewer and per platform, so the same name on TikTok LIVE and Twitch has two, and they stay two after a restart.
- Reset session starts the stream's totals over, but leaves point balances.
- The 300 largest balances are saved between launches. Once Vfinity tracks more than 2,000 viewers in a stream, Twitch, Kick and YouTube viewers keep their points the same way TikTok LIVE viewers do.
- Backups carry the rates under Points economy, and the balances under Stream statistics.
