General

4 questions

What is StreamQuest?

StreamQuest is a quest-based platform where Twitch creators join paid campaigns for indie and AA games. You log in with Twitch, apply for quests, stream the game during the campaign window, submit your VOD, and get paid after verification.

Who is StreamQuest for?

StreamQuest is built for small and mid-sized creators with authentic communities, especially variety streamers who like discovering new games.

How do I join StreamQuest?

Log in using Twitch authentication, then apply for quests in your creator dashboard. Joining Discord is recommended for faster support and campaign updates.

Do you accept creators worldwide? Any region limits?

Yes, StreamQuest is global. We aim for fair regional representation so no single region dominates creator slots, and tier payouts are equal worldwide.

Eligibility

2 questions

Minimum requirements to apply for quests

Typical baseline requirements:

  • 300+ followers
  • 6+ month old Twitch account
  • Twitch Affiliate status (exceptions possible)
  • 5+ recent average concurrent viewers (CCV) (exceptions possible)
Exceptions can be made if you clearly have an active, authentic community.

Do I need a webcam or mic? Are VTubers allowed?

A mic is required. A webcam is a strong bonus but not mandatory. VTubers are welcome. No-cam streamers with an active community are welcome as well.

03

Quests & tiers

7 questions

What are Main Quests and Side Quests?

Main Quest is mandatory (streaming requirement + correct category + submission). Side Quests are optional extras used for bonus XP and sometimes eligibility upgrades depending on the tier.

Common side quests include: survey, social share, posting a clip, playing with a friend, or an in-game objective.

How many hours do I need to stream?

Each mission brief defines the exact requirements and maximum payable hour caps. A common baseline is:

  • Bronze: minimum 1 hour
  • Silver: usually 2 hours (sometimes up to 3 depending on the quest)

Only verified gameplay time counts.

What tiers exist and how do I unlock Silver?

Current tiers include Bronze and Silver. Gold is planned as a future partner tier.

Silver unlocks at Level 10 which equals 450 XP. Silver often requires at least one side quest completion depending on the campaign.

Where do I see my XP and level?

Your dashboard shows your account level and XP progress bar. Completing quests and side quests increases XP and levels.

Can I do more than one quest at a time?

Typically, you can participate in one approved quest at a time. After your submission is approved, you can apply for another. Exceptions can be made for tight deadlines.

Can I rerun the game after the quest?

Yes. We only pay for the first verified quest completion, but if you like the game you can keep streaming it and we appreciate it.

What quest statuses exist in the dashboard?

Status labels include: Request approval, Pending, Approved, Submitted, Verified, Rejected. Revisions are supported so you can update and resubmit where applicable.

04

Streaming, verification & VOD

8 questions

How are streams verified?

We verify the gameplay portion of your stream. Verification includes manual VOD review plus tool-assisted checks to confirm correct category, gameplay time, and compliance with quest requirements.

Nice-to-have: include timestamps and/or a TwitchTracker link in your submission to speed up review.

What counts as verified gameplay time?

Verified time is the part of your stream where the game is actively played and showcased. If your stream includes other segments, only the relevant gameplay portion counts.

Do I need the correct Twitch game category set?

Yes. The game category must be set correctly for verification, and the game should be the primary content during the verified time window.

Does Just Chatting time count?

No. Verification focuses on gameplay time. Intros are fine, but the verified hours are based on actual gameplay and showcasing the game.

Pre-stream checklist for creators

  • Read the mission brief and quest guide
  • Set the correct game category
  • Enable branded content disclosure as required
  • Make sure VOD saving is enabled

Pre-submission checklist

The submission form requires the mandatory links before you can submit. Before submitting, double-check:

  • Your VOD link is correct
  • You add any side quest proof you completed
  • You optionally include timestamps or a TwitchTracker link to speed review

You can also submit and revise later if you complete side quests afterwards (within a reasonable timeframe and campaign context).

Do I need to keep my VOD public? For how long?

Yes. VODs must remain public for 2 weeks after completion so they can be reviewed.

What if my VOD is muted or removed?

We prefer VOD-safe streams. If something happens, provide proof (screenshots, DMCA notice) and contact the team in Discord so we can review options case-by-case.

05

Rules, payments & support

9 questions

Do I need to disclose sponsorship or paid promotion?

Yes. Follow Twitch TOS and enable branded content disclosure for paid activations as required in each mission brief.

What are the most common reasons a quest is rejected?

  • Not meeting minimum gameplay hours
  • Not actively playing (pause screen, idle, doing other content)
  • Missing required quest elements
  • Brand safety violations on stricter campaigns
  • Breaking Twitch TOS

Can I revise and resubmit if rejected? When is it a failed quest?

If rejected due to incompletion or correctable issues, you can revise and resubmit. If rejected due to Twitch TOS, quality issues, or something that cannot be fixed in time, it can be treated as a failed quest and the slot may be opened for someone else if time remains.

Do you have music rules?

Follow Twitch TOS. DMCA-safe music is recommended.

How do payouts work? Do you need my bank details?

We do not require your bank details for standard payouts. Payments are sent through your existing Twitch donation setup (Streamlabs, StreamElements, or other global donation providers on your Twitch panels).

Payouts are processed within 5 business days after verification.

Can I get paid via PayPal instead?

Yes, as an alternative option. After your quest is verified, you can send a PayPal invoice to contact@streamquest.io. Include your Twitch username, date of completion, quest title, and StreamQuest in the invoice description.

Do you collect personal data?

We minimize data processing and only handle what is needed to run quests and verify submissions. We do not collect bank details for standard payouts.

Late submissions and late streams policy

Late handling is scenario-based and quest-by-quest. If the campaign is still open and reporting is not finalized, we can often accept late submissions within a fair timeframe. Late streams may be accepted a few days after the end date if there is a valid reason and the campaign is still open. Always check Discord updates for the specific campaign rules.

Where do I get support?

Discord is the main hub for support, updates, and campaign clarifications. You can also reach us on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and by email.
