Many creators regularly stream in the AWA Lounge, and listeners who come to watch the streams support creators in various ways, such as gifting, comments, stamps, etc. This time, AWA hopes that listeners’ support will reach even more creators, so it has decided to increase the gifting return rate by an additional 5% from the lounge that ended after midnight on June 4, 2024.
In addition, the name of the “Fluffy Reward,” which was introduced in December 2022 and allows creators to receive outdoor screen advertising and distribution equipment support depending on their monthly gifting amount, has been changed to “Flower Reward,” and the number of prizes that can be earned has been increased from 7 to 11. In addition, while rewards once received were considered already earned, with this change, the earned status of all creators will be reset, and all prizes will be available to be earned anew.
By increasing the gifting return rate and revamping the “Flower Reward”, we have further improved the environment to support creators. AWA celebrated its 9th anniversary on May 27th, and is actively developing projects and features to further support creators, such as regularly hosting AWA-sponsored live shows and releasing a new feature called “emorie” that captures creators’ special moments. Please keep an eye on AWA in the future.
