Streaming for millions: xQc announced astronomical amounts of its advertising deals
Popular streamer Felix Lengyel, known all over the world under the nickname xQc, lifted the veil of secrecy over his income. During a live broadcast on the Kick platform, the content creator listed the most profitable contracts in his career, confirming his status as one of the highest-paid influencers of our time.
The absolute record holder on his list was the collaboration with the Stake crypto casino. According to Felix, the platform paid him an incredible $15 million for one sponsorship broadcast.
In addition to one-time promotions with casinos, xQc cited other impressive figures:
- Ad breaks: The maximum revenue for inline ad units in a single broadcast was about $57,000.
- Gaming segment: In the field of traditional esports and video games, the most expensive deal was a contract with Call of Duty: Warzone. For the promotion of this shooter, the streamer received exactly $1 million.
Such frankness of Lengyel provoked heated discussions on the network. Users and experts argue about the transparency of such payouts and how ethical it is for platforms to pay such colossal sums to promote gambling.

xQc is great, he takes it all as long as they give it. Who among you would refuse 15 million for just sitting and spinning slots? Don't bullshit, everyone would agree.
15 million for one stream?! Yes, I will not see so much in my entire life, even if I sell my kidney. The world has gone crazy, honestly...
