How to join a creator's Fanhouse as a Twitch subscriber

If you're reading this, you're probably following a Twitch streamer testing out a beta feature on Fanhouse.

This feature offers free Fanhouse subscriptions to a creator's paying Twitch subscribers. Pretty cool, right?

How to set this up as a fan:

1. Make sure that you're subscribed to the creator on Twitch.
2. Make a Fanhouse account at fanhouse.app.
3. Link your Twitch account to your Fanhouse account. This is how we check that your Twitch account and your Fanhouse account belong to the same person.
   
   1. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner and hit Settings.
   2. On the Settings page, navigate to Integrations → Linked accounts. Click on the Link Twitch Account button.
      
      
      
      
4. Navigate to the creator's Fanhouse page on the Fanhouse website. You will see a pop-up inviting you to join the creator's Fanhouse for free.
   
   Note that this feature is not yet supported on the app. You have to do this from the Fanhouse website.
   
   

FAQ

Q: Can I claim this free subscription if I'm already subscribed to the creator on Fanhouse?
A: No, this is aimed at fans who are subscribed to a streamer on Twitch but are not already subscribed to the creator on Fanhouse.

Q: I'm on the creator's Fanhouse page but I don't see the pop-up. What's going on?
A: There are a few things that might be happening. Double check that:

• You have linked your Twitch account to your Fanhouse account. Scroll back up to Step 3 to learn how to do this.
• You are looking at the creator's Fanhouse profile on the Fanhouse website. This feature is in beta and is not supported on the app yet.
• You are a paying subscriber to the creator's Twitch. Free followers are not eligible for this benefit.
• Your browser does not have a pop-up blocker enabled.
• The creator you are trying to follow is enrolled in this beta program. If they've never talked about it, they're probably not part of the beta program.

Q: So can I just join the creator’s Fanhouse and never spend money?
A: If you want, you never have to spend anything. But Fanhouse is a 90/10 payout platform whereas Twitch is a 50/50 platform. This means that when you tip a creator on Fanhouse, they get to take home 90% of it, which is way more than the 50% they can take home from Twitch!

Q: I had access to a creator's Fanhouse through my Twitch subscription but I just lost access to the Fanhouse. What happened?
A: Double check that you are still a paying subscriber to your Twitch streamer.
