Lichess livestreaming bullet games

Hey there fellas,

Does lichess offer money for livestreaming bullet games/ blitz games twitch style?

No .

If you are the Magnus, maybe yes. Otherwise probably no :-)

You can earn money with twitch and use lichess to get viewers.

But its actually not very probable even if you are the Magnus. Lichess is open source and needs the donations for running the servers. Sometimes it pays GMs a little bit for reporting from World championships. Sometimes some people donate money for tournament prize trophies. For relaying there is not enough money available.

Yes, earn money via ads at twitch. Thats possible.

whoah, thank you so much guys for such fast responses! :)

Indeed, Twitch streamers with large audiences can not only make money from ads, but can also become a "partner" on Twitch and offer subscriptions to their channel, most of which goes directly to the streamer.

So yes, you can make money from streaming chess on lichess/Twitch, but the actual money will not come from lichess itself (other than the occasional sponsored prize tournament) - it will come from your fanbase, via Twitch.
