Sponsor Rules

These rules apply to sponsors, brands, agencies, and other businesses using StreamerHomes to connect with video game streamers. They sit alongside our Terms of Service and apply whether you reach out to a streamer through a Sponsor Post or initiate contact directly. By contacting a streamer through the platform, you agree to follow these rules.

1. Represent yourself accurately. Identify your real company name, the products or services you’re promoting, and the person authorized to make commitments on behalf of the business. Working through a shell account or obscuring who you are is grounds for removal.
2. Streamer numbers describe a recent period, not a contract. Audience size, average viewers, and engagement fluctuate. A streamer’s posted stats reflect a snapshot — they are not a guarantee for your specific campaign window.
3. Put the deal in writing before content is produced. Before a streamer goes live with sponsored content, you and the streamer should agree in writing on deliverables, timing, payment, exclusivity, content approval rights, and termination terms. Verbal “we’ll figure it out” arrangements are how everyone ends up unhappy.
4. Pay on time. If you commit to payment terms, hit them. Sponsors who develop a pattern of slow payment, non-payment, or disputed chargebacks may be removed from the platform.
5. Do not dictate deceptive content. You may not require a streamer to make false claims about your product, conceal that content is sponsored, fabricate testimonials, or violate platform disclosure rules. FTC compliance protects both you and the streamer — don’t ask a streamer to skip it.
6. Do not ask for account access. You should never need a streamer’s password, OAuth tokens, channel admin rights, banking credentials, or government identifiers to run a campaign. Anyone requesting these is a red flag and is not welcome on the platform.
7. No prohibited categories. The platform does not host sponsorships for adult or sexually explicit products, content directed at minors, pyramid or MLM schemes, “pay for positive review” arrangements, unregulated supplements making health claims, illegal products, or any product whose advertising would violate the streamer’s home jurisdiction.
8. Respect a “no.” If a streamer declines your offer, that decision is final. Do not escalate, create alt accounts to re-pitch, contact the streamer through other platforms after being told no, or pressure them into reconsidering. There are other streamers.
9. Define your IP and brand guidelines up front. If you grant a streamer the right to use your logo, products, or marketing assets, define the scope. If certain assets must be used a specific way, say so before content is produced — not after it’s live.
10. Honor delivery commitments. If you’ve committed to sending product, keys, codes, or other promotional materials to a streamer, deliver them in the timeframe you agreed to. A streamer cannot promote what they don’t have.
11. Do not request bait-and-switch promotion. The product the streamer promotes must be the product the audience can actually buy or access under the terms advertised. Hidden subscriptions, surprise fees, or undisclosed conditions attached to a promo code are not permitted.
12. Do not poach. The messaging system and Sponsor Posts are for legitimate sponsorship outreach — not for recruiting streamers off the platform, redirecting them to a competing service, or harvesting contact information.
13. Disputes are between you and the streamer. StreamerHomes is a venue — not a broker, escrow agent, talent agency, or arbitrator. Document everything, because we will not be in a position to recover funds or enforce terms on either side’s behalf.

Material may exist in the Terms of Service that does not appear in these Sponsor Rules. Such material also acts as binding rules. Violations of these rules may result in removal of your account, blocking your organization from contacting streamers on the platform, and — where applicable — referral to relevant authorities or platforms.
