The wide band reflects everyone from niche streamers to names with millions of followers, like Preston Playz and Kyle Bugha Giersdorf. Rates shift with deliverables, stream length, and usage rights, and each profile lists its own pricing.

On OpenSponsorship the top channels are Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, which is where these gamers cross-post beyond their live streams. The audience is mostly United States based, followed by Canada and the United Kingdom, and it skews Gen Z and Millennial. Because gaming is online-first, reach is genuinely global even for creators based in one country.

Energy drinks, gaming peripherals and hardware, apparel, and software or app brands are the regulars, alongside any product trying to reach young audiences at scale. Formats include stream sponsorships, gameplay integrations, unboxings, giveaways, and short-form clips. The trust between a streamer and their chat is what makes these campaigns convert.

Use the location filters to sort by country, state, or city, though gaming audiences are online-first and rarely tied to one place. The strongest markets here are the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Brands and agencies in over 40 countries run campaigns through the platform.

The average following is about 97K, with most creators in the niche and local tiers where engagement runs high. Around 72 sit in the niche band and 18 in the local band. At the top end a few clear several million, including Preston Playz at over 19M and Kyle Bugha Giersdorf at around 4M.

Set up a profile, link your Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok accounts, and publish your rates for posts, streams, and integrations. Brands filter by audience, platform, and location, so clear pricing and recent content help you get discovered. When a brand reaches out, you handle negotiation, deliverables, and contracts in one place.
