Kick (also known as Kick.com) is a video livestreaming service. It is operated by Kick Streaming Pty Ltd and backed by Stake.com co-founders Bijan Tehrani, Ed Craven, and streaming personality Trainwreckstv. Kick was founded in 2022 as a competitor to Amazon-owned Twitch, with a focus on looser moderation and higher revenue shares for streamers. Kick is mostly known for its low 5% revenue charge, as well as its 2023 deals with multiple streamers including Hikaru Nakamura, Westcol, Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, Nickmercs, Adin Ross, Amouranth, Ice Poseidon, and xQc. As of June 2023, Kick averages 110,000 livestreams per day. Kick is also the sponsor of the Sauber Motorsport racing team in Formula One.
