What is a gifted sub on Twitch?

Launched in 2011, Twitch is a live-streaming platform that let’s content creators and gamers connect with new audiences and build a community.

Users can broadcast what they’re doing, allowing viewers to watch along and comment on the action.

“Subs” allow users to pay a monthly or one off fee to access to streamers’ custom “emotes”, or emoticons, and other benefits streamers can set.

Gifted subscriptions are slightly different, and allow viewers to give a one-month subscription to another viewer on your channel.

According Twitch’s website, gifted subscriptions support “your channel just like a typical sub and gift recipients have the option to become a regular subscriber after their first month expires.

“As your channel grows, gift subscriptions are a great way for your biggest fans to help grow your community”.
