Channel Points are a new feature for Twitch streamers that were made available to everyone back in Mid-December. The loyalty points system are rewarded for watching, for keeping streaks and for remaining active in a channel. In early tests, Twitch reported that large channels experienced an 18% increase in time spent in the stream by viewers. Now, the big question that a lot of people are asking is “What Rewards should I offer for Channel Points?” In order to help you out, I’ve built a list of 100 rewards you can give your viewers for Channel Points! If you have other ideas, please feel free to share them in the comments below!
