What is Twitch Prime?

Twitch Prime is a rewards scheme for Amazon Prime subscribers. By connecting your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account, you’ll be open to a number of different benefits – including a free subscription, game content, and a whole host of other extras.

You have the opportunity to subscribe to one channel for free (usually costs $4.99 per month), allowing you to utilize all the benefits of a paying subscription. This is another great way to support your favourite Twitch streamers.

Furthermore, some games, including League Of Legends and Warframe will also offer exclusive in-game content for Prime members only.
