How To Get Gifted Sub On Twitch

Chances are you've came to this article for one of two reasons:

You're a streamer and you've received gifted subs in your stream
You've been watching your favourite streamer and received a gifted sub

Either way I'm going to explain what they are, how you can get them and how you can gift them.

What Are Twitch Gifted Subs?

Gifted subs on Twitch come from other viewers on the stream. If you're watching the stream and receive a gifted sub it means someone else has paid for you to be a subscriber and you'll reap all the same benefits a normal subscriber would.

Yep, that means another viewer in the community has forked out their hard earned cash to give you a better experience in the stream.

If you're a streamer and you've received gifted subs on your stream this means that a viewer has gifted subs to your community. They can choose to gift subs to just random people or they can gift to specific viewers.

Gifted subs last for 30 days after they were gifted.
