Streams and videos, one place
Sponsored livestreams, gameplay integrations, first-looks, setup tours, and hardware reviews — package each format so a brand or its agency can book it in a tap.
Keys, codes, and embargoes tracked
Game-key drops, discount codes, embargo dates, and exclusivity windows all live on the deal — so you never go live a day early or mix up whose code is whose.
Keep 100%
Flat monthly price, zero per-deal fee. The publisher, energy drink, or peripheral brand pays you directly — no platform cut, no payout hold.
How does a gaming sponsorship run on Plug Pro?
You already sourced the sponsor — the DM, the publisher email, the inbound from a peripheral brand. This is everything after the yes.
Package the deal
Price a sponsored stream, an integrated gameplay video, or a keyboard-and-mouse review as a clean package the brand can approve in one tap.
Lock the terms
Agree and lock the embargo date, exclusivity window, discount code, and whether a game key is dropping — so nobody's guessing when it goes live.
Go live or deliver
Run the sponsored stream, or ship the video with a watermarked preview for approval first. Attach a usage certificate if the brand wants the clip for paid ads.
Get paid direct
The brand pays you directly through your own Stripe, PayPal, or Venmo. No escrow, no per-deal fee — the full amount is yours.
Paid directly, on a page the brand opens
The invoice and pay page live on the deal — the peripheral brand pays through your own Stripe or PayPal, and the record flips to Paid.

What do gaming brands pay creators for?
Four briefs that come up in almost every gaming deal, and what each one is worth before usage rights.
Sponsored stream segment
A 60-to-90-second read or demo inside a live stream, with the code on screen. Priced per segment; the VOD clip is a separate deliverable if the brand wants it.
Dedicated video
A full review or first look, often embargoed to a launch. The highest-value gaming brief and the one to scope in writing: length, key delivery date, exclusivity window.
Peripheral unboxing and review
Mouse, keyboard, headset, chair. Setup, first session, verdict. Hardware brands buy this as short-form and want the raw clips for their own channels, which is a usage line.
Short-form clip pack
Three to five vertical clips cut from a stream or video for the brand's TikTok and Shorts. Priced as a pack, roughly 2.7 times a single.
Questions, answered
Does Plug Pro take a cut of my gaming brand deals?
No. A peripheral sponsorship, an energy-drink retainer, and a publisher's first-look deal all run on the same flat monthly subscription with zero per-deal fees. The sponsor pays you directly for each, with no escrow and no payout hold, so the number in the contract is the number that reaches your account.
Can I run sponsored livestreams through Plug Pro?
Yes. Book a sponsored stream like any other deal, with the agreed rate, the stream date, the sponsor-read window, and any exclusivity window locked in on the record, plus a deposit and a balance if the sponsor pays in two parts. See how in-person and livestream bookings work.
How do I keep embargoes and exclusivity windows straight?
Every deal carries its own terms — embargo date, exclusivity window, discount code, and game-key drop — agreed and locked, so you never post before an embargo lifts or double-book a competing brand.
How should I price a gaming sponsorship?
That's your call — rates swing with your audience, the format (a sponsored stream vs. an integrated video), and the usage the brand wants. Our guide on how to price a brand deal walks through it.
How much do gaming creators charge for a sponsorship?
Starting bands from our rates guide, single video with organic use: $25–$75 while you are new, $75–$150 with delivered work to show, $150–$300 with a track record. Paid-ad usage adds about 50% and whitelisting about 70% on top. Live segments price per segment; a dedicated embargoed video sits at the top of your band, and clips the brand runs on its own channels are a usage line.
How do I get my first gaming sponsorship with a small channel?
Peripheral and indie-publisher brands buy content, not reach. Three example clips with gear you already own, a page with a rate, and ten specific pitches a week beat waiting for an inbound. The first-brand-deal guide is the playbook.
