Points System

The points system is the core of StreamForge. It tracks viewer engagement by awarding points for actions on your channel, giving you a clear picture of your most active community members.

How It Works

When a viewer performs an action on your Twitch channel — subscribing, gifting subs, cheering bits, following, or raiding — StreamForge automatically awards them points based on your configured rules. Points accumulate over time and are used to:

  • Rank viewers on your leaderboard
  • Trigger automatic VIP rewards
  • Contribute to event goals (subathons, milestones)

Default Point Values

Every new StreamForge workspace starts with these default point values. You can customize them at any time in Settings → Points.

ActionPoints
Subscribe (Tier 1)500
Subscribe (Tier 2)1000
Subscribe (Tier 3)2500
Gift Sub750
Cheer (per 100 bits)100
Follow50
Raid300

Customizing Point Rules

To change point values for any action:

  1. Go to your Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings → Points
  3. Adjust the point value for each action type
  4. Click Save — changes take effect immediately
💡 Tip
Setting a point value to 0 disables tracking for that action. This is useful if you only want to reward specific types of engagement.

Viewer Leaderboard

The leaderboard ranks all tracked viewers by their total points. You can:

  • View the leaderboard from your dashboard
  • Filter by date range (all time, monthly, weekly)
  • Share a public leaderboard URL with your community
  • Display the leaderboard as an OBS overlay

How Points Are Calculated

Points are calculated in real time as events arrive from the Twitch API:

  • Subscriptions — Points are awarded based on the subscription tier
  • Gift subs — The gifter receives points for each gift sub
  • Cheers — Points are awarded per 100-bit increments
  • Follows — A one-time point award when a user follows
  • Raids— Points are awarded to the raiding channel's broadcaster
ℹ️ Note
Points are only tracked while your channel is connected to StreamForge. Historical data from before you signed up is not included.
