Get Started with StreamStake

• Sign in with Twitch — Click Sign In in the top-right corner and authorise via Twitch. No separate password needed — your Twitch account is all you need.
• Complete your profile — Visit your Profile page to set a bio, avatar, and banner. A complete profile helps the community find and follow you.
• Explore the home feed — The home page shows wagers from streamers you follow and featured Premium streamers. Follow a few creators to fill your feed right away.

The StreamStake bot connects your Twitch chat directly to the platform. Viewers can check balances and see active wagers without leaving chat, and moderators can resolve wagers with a single command.

• Open Creator Hub → Bot — Head to the Creator Hub and find the Bot section. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorise the bot and connect it to your channel.
• Enable the bot — Toggle the bot on. It will join your channel as StreamStakeBot and post a confirmation message in chat.
• Announce to viewers — Let your viewers know they can type !help in chat to see all available commands.

Wagers are predictions about in-game or stream events. Viewers stake tokens on the outcome they think will happen. When you post a wager before a big moment, your chat becomes invested in the result.

• Go to Creator Hub → Wagers — Click New Wager to open the creation form.
• Write a clear question — Example: "Will I ace this round?" or "Do I win this boss fight on the first attempt?" — keep it unambiguous so viewers know exactly what they're betting on.
• Add outcomes and odds — Add two or more possible outcomes (e.g. Yes / No). Set the odds for each — higher odds mean bigger payouts but imply lower probability.
• Set a betting window — Choose how long viewers have to place bets before you lock the wager. You can also lock it manually during the stream.
• Use templates (Premium) — Premium creators can save any wager as a template and reload it in seconds for recurring events.

• Wager goes live automatically — Once created, your wager is immediately visible on the Wagers page and in chat via the bot. Viewers can start placing bets right away.
• Announce in stream — Tell your viewers a wager is live. The bot will post a message in chat automatically — or announce it yourself for extra hype.
• Lock the wager — When the event is about to start (e.g. the round begins), lock the wager from the Creator Hub or have a moderator do it. No further bets are accepted after locking.
• Betting window timer — If you set a time-limited betting window, it closes automatically. Manual lock overrides the timer at any point.

Resolve the wager immediately after the event concludes — don't keep your viewers waiting. Tokens are distributed to winners as soon as you pick the outcome.

• Open Creator Hub → Wagers — Find the wager you want to resolve in the list and click Resolve.
• Select the winning outcome — Choose which outcome actually happened. Confirm your selection — this cannot be undone.
• Tokens distributed instantly — Winning participants receive their payout immediately based on the odds. The result is posted in the bot chat message.
• Resolve from Twitch chat — You or a moderator can also resolve from chat: !win [wager_id] [outcome_id]— fast and convenient mid-stream.

Moderators are trusted community members who can help you manage wagers without needing access to your full account. Ideal for busy streams where you can't always click resolve yourself.

• Go to Creator Hub → Moderators — Search for a StreamStake user by username and click Add Moderator. The user receives a notification immediately.
• What moderators can do — Resolve and lock wagers on your behalf — both from the StreamStake site and via the !win bot command in your Twitch chat.
• What moderators cannot do — Moderators cannot create wagers, edit your profile, access shop management, or change any account settings. Their access is limited to wager resolution only.
• Remove at any time — Remove a moderator from the same Creators Hub → Moderators tab. Their access is revoked immediately.

The Shop lets you reward your community with real perks. Viewers spend the tokens they earn from wagers to redeem items — keeping engagement high even outside of live betting moments.

• Go to Creator Hub → Shop — Click Add Item to create your first shop listing. Give it a name, description, token price, and optional stock limit.
• Item ideas — Shoutout during stream · Hydrate challenge · Custom Discord role · TTS message · Merch giveaway entry · In-game item · Follow back on Twitch.
• Manage redemptions — When a viewer redeems an item you get a notification. Mark it as fulfilled once you've delivered the reward.
• Grant & revoke tokens — Use the Viewer Management section in Creator Hub to manually grant or revoke tokens for a viewer — useful for special events or corrections.
