Twitch Prime Benefits: No Ads, Monthly Loots
The advantages of Twitch Prime: In contrast to the free version, there is no advertising. You will also receive a free loot every month. This includes, for example, game content or even entire PC games. You can access it from the crown icon. There you can also see when a new loot is available.
Every month you get a loot on Twitch Prime, for example with free games. If a new loot is available, there is a red number next to the crown at the top. You also get a free subscription every 30 days. You don't pay anything for this - the streamer you subscribe to will still receive their share of the money. After the 30 days, this subscription will automatically expire, you can then switch it on again - or subscribe to another channel..
