Before continuing, I'd recommend giving them a quick read before you start thinking of custom rewards as there are strict rules you need to follow.\n\n\n\nChannel Points GuideChannel Points Acceptable Use PolicyMaking the Most of Channel Points\n\n\n\nWhat are Twitch Channel Points?\n\n\n\nChannel Points are a currency in which viewers can redeem for customizable rewards set by the broadcaster. They're earned by watching streams and are unique to each channel.\n\n\n\nTwitch Channel Points are all about viewer engagement. The feature is exclusive to Twitch Affiliates &amp; Partners.\n\n\n\nThe program encourages viewers to keep watching your stream, as well as reward your most loyal viewers. It's an effective way to increase and retain concurrent viewers.\n\n\n\nHow do you get Channel Points on Twitch?\n\n\n\nThe main way to earn Channel Points is by actively watching a broadcast, however, there are a couple of ways to earn bonus points.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the points program is still in its infancy, Twitch frequently tweak the earn rates.

Ideally, you should pick a name that's in-line with the branding of your stream or personality, as well as a display icon using the same art style as your other assets.\n\n\n\nTwitch Channel Points Ideas\n\n\n\nYour rewards need to be both tempting and reasonably priced. If you don't want to frequently put your stream on hold to fulfill a reward, price this type of reward a little higher than the others. Some rewards should rightfully be expensive to redeem, such as ending the stream immediately.\n\n\n\nIn the list of ideas below, I've left an (X) to indicate something either you or the viewer should customize. \n\n\n\nPlay a GIF of some sort - cheap, easy, entertainingChang the overlayHave a snackCreate a tier listAdd X Minutes to the streamRead a chapter from a book chosen by the viewerReduce stream by X minutesGive an opinion on a subject (careful on this one)Play the game in a completely different modePlay the game by switching hands (right hand uses left hand for mouse)Play the Wikipedia GameBecome a VIP.Pick a number and answer the corresponding question from the book of 3000 questionsDraw (X) in paintSong request (as long as it's copyright-free)Skip current songVideo requestUse (X) item in-gameUse (X) character in-gameChoose the next gameChoose the next mapChoose a name for (X)Ban a userUnban a userDeflect banBan whoever uses the next (X) emote in chatBan whoever uses the next emote in chat that isn't a (X) emoteThe streamer must comment (X) on any Instagram profile the viewer choosesAbsolutely nothing (purely to flex)Do (X) reps of (X) exerciseEnd the live stream immediatelyViewer gets to choose the streamers desktop backgroundViewer gets to choose the streamers Twitter bannerViewer gets to choose the streamers green screen backgroundCustom role in DiscordVIP for a daySteal someone's VIPRequest a 1V1Play with the streamer for a roundRun an adBean BoozledAdd a BTTV emoteText to Speech (you'll need to add this bot)Roast me?

It also encourages viewers to keep streaming if there is a larger reward up for grabs. \n\n\n\nEarning chat points is faster for those who subscribe and watch actively, this is in the interest of the streamer and helps them grow.
