Guess the Balance

Let chat guess what your hunt will finish on. Viewers type !guess in Kick, Twitch or YouTube chat or use /guess in Discord, and when the hunt ends the closest guessers are paid in one press.

Short answer:Guess the Balance lets viewers guess the final balance of a bonus hunt from chat or Discord. StreamNeeds collects the guesses, can lock guessing after a set number of bonuses, and pays points or prizes to the closest guessers when the hunt ends.

What it does

Guess the Balance is the most played game on slot streams, and running it by hand means scrolling chat and copying numbers into a spreadsheet. StreamNeeds does it for you. Open guessing on a hunt, and every guess from every platform lands in one table with the viewer's name.

When the hunt is finished, the closest guessers are found automatically. Pay them points, or set a prize like a tip for first place that goes to your payouts list. A winner who never linked an account still gets a viewer profile made for them, so the prize always lands.

What you get

  • !guess in Kick, Twitch and YouTube chat and /guess in Discord
  • Guessing locks itself after a set number of bonuses
  • Optional Price Is Right rule: guesses over the final balance are out
  • Optional verified-only guessing for viewers with a checked casino account
  • 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards in one press, as points or prizes
  • A Balance Guesses overlay widget that shows guesses coming in

How it helps every kind of streamer

Small streamer: more engagement

A guessing game makes every viewer part of the hunt. Even lurkers type a guess, and each guess is a chat message that tells the platform your stream is active.

I want to grow

Guessing keeps new viewers watching to the end of the hunt to see if they won. Longer watch time and more chatters both help you show up higher in the browse pages.

I want to make more money

Prize places are a simple reason for viewers to sign up under your casino code or join your Discord, and the verified-only rule rewards the viewers who actually play with your link.

Big streamer: run it at scale

With hundreds of guesses, the search, sort and filter table and automatic locking stop late guesses and arguments. Pay out three places in one press instead of checking chat by hand.

How to set it up

  1. Start a hunt and open guessing from its Guesses tab.

  2. Tell chat to type !guess and a number, or /guess in Discord.

  3. When the hunt ends, press award to pay the closest guessers.

Frequently asked questions

How do viewers guess?

They type !guess followed by a number in Kick, Twitch or YouTube chat, or use the /guess command in your Discord server.

Can I stop people guessing late?

Yes. Set guessing to lock after a number of bonuses have been opened, and later guesses are refused automatically.

What is the Price Is Right rule?

An optional rule that knocks out anyone who guessed above the final balance, so the winner is the closest guess that didn't go over.

Can winners get a real prize instead of points?

Yes. A place can pay a prize you type, like a tip, and it goes to your payouts list so you can mark it paid.
