Does anyone know of a coyote to get me into Canadia? I don't think my criminal history will allow me to go legally, but would love to be in the Poker Haus.

You don't just make money on Twitch by showing up. You have to build enough of an audience on your channel that Twitch will actually offer you a revenue sharing partnership.

Someone will be getting that money. Someone will own that audience.

The way i understand the $ on Twitch is that when someone subs to you it costs them $5 per month, you get a cut of that and Twitch takes the rest. If you're a huge streamer I think you get a higher percentage of the sub money. You also can have people donate money while they're watching the stream, I believe the streamer gets to keep all of that money.

If multiple people are sharing an account, unless the account is held by a corporation that all the people share ownership of, then that's a recipe for drama later.
