Tried to set it up for two hours and the overlays just won't look right on my screen. Waste of time today. I just closed the site. Maybe I will try again later if I feel like it. 4 stars only because my friend says it’s good.
absolute life saver for my twitch streams. hate waiting weeks for payouts and destream solved that. First meet guys at twitchcon, was nice, but totally forgot about them, now found them again. overlays for streams works, and very simple, not much to customize, but basic is there. Special thanks to instagram manager - to help me setup some basic alerts. cheers guys!
Excellent for creators here in Bahrain. I was looking for a reliable way to manage my tips without going through local bank hassles for every small transaction. Finally I can get my tips on a virtual card and spend directly for my setup or new games. No issues with verification for me, it took maybe a couple of hours and I was ready to go. Highly recommend for those who stream on Kick or Twitch.

Finally ditched PayPal after they put another "security hold" on my donations for no clear reason. Been using Destream for a bit now and it’s been working pretty well so far. The money goes straight to the card they sent, which is honestly just more convenient – I can actually use it right away instead of waiting. Still getting used to it, but compared to the usual PayPal delays, its been a much smoother experience for me.
Owner made me cry. His tone was not nice. Im in shock now. Need counseling
I’m based in Limassol so I knew about them for a while. Decided to try for my twitch channel. Registration was okay but they are very strict about kyc... had to send my proof of address twice because they didn't like the scan. But once verified the payouts are instant. 4 stars only because of the strict document check.
Setup was easy. I use it for TikTok and the tip link works perfectly with local cards here. The speed of transfers is impressive, and I love using the destream creator card to spend my earnings right away. Payouts are consistent and available instantly.
It was perfect
My experience has been extremely negative. After my winnings were withheld, I carefully reviewed my bank statements. That is when I discovered that this company was involved in processing payments to gambling platforms which I later confirmed were operating without a valid license in my jurisdiction. What is particularly concerning is that the exact date and time of the charges perfectly match the deposits made to the casino. These are not “unauthorized transactions,” as the support team repeatedly claims in their generic responses. The transactions are clearly identifiable and directly linked to their payment processing system. After checking Trustpilot, I realized I am far from being the only one. Many other users report the exact same pattern: withheld winnings followed by standard, copy-paste replies that fail to address the core issue. When so many cases follow the same pattern, it is difficult to believe this is a coincidence. It is disappointing to see the company publicly suggesting that customers should “contact their bank in case of unauthorized charges,” when there is objective evidence showing the direct correlation between the payment timestamps and the casino deposits. Given the circumstances, I will be filing formal complaints with the authorities in my country as well as with the competent authorities in Cyprus so that this matter can be properly investigated. I sincerely hope the company will provide a concrete and substantive response this time, rather than another generic statement aimed solely at protecting its public image. ** UPDATE 11/03/2026 ** This review reflects my personal opinion based on my experience and on information available to me, and it does not contain any defamatory statements. I have documentation supporting the points I raise if it is ever required. My intention is not to defame anyone, but simply to share a legitimate opinion and warn other users. Attempting to remove critical reviews through repeated defamation claims does not contribute to transparency. If the company wishes to avoid this kind of criticism, the most constructive approach would be to focus on operating with full transparency and distancing itself from practices that raise legitimate concerns, rather than attempting to silence user feedback.
I was a bit skeptical after reading some reviews here about the verification process. Honestly, I expected a wait, but the KYC was cleared in just about 5 minutes. Once that was done, the platform became very smooth. I’ve already made two payouts to my bank account in GBP. The best part is there's no delay on payouts -- the money is available immediately. The fees are much lower than what I used to pay on other donation platforms. If you have your docs ready for the live verification, you’ll be fine.

The redundant sentence they keep writing you "you STILL need to complete the onboarding process" is key to everything here. They keep you hanging... in the meantime they expect that you start using their "money collecting" link on your website, blog etc and collect money they DO NOT make available to you because "You STILL need to complete the onboarding process". Why should I use, publish on my blog or website your link and collect money coming to your pockets, if I am still not "approved"? For what? To collect money that is not available to you because again they write to you that "your onboarding process is not yet complete"? It is the promise of something they don't tell you IF, WHEN and after WHAT will be granted. There is No transparency. Destream only show you the carrot (the completion of the onboarding process) and the more you run, like a donkey, the farther the carrot on the stick moves away from you. They should make it crystal clear what this boarding process is, describe the steps, how many they are and customers will decide whether to go through it or not! We are busy people working quite busy and remunerative business elsewhere and we only have those 16 radio stations because we love music and radio stations. No time for games, chat with delayed copy-paste responses. Working with DESTREAM is time-consuming, and a "mythical" and unclear onboarding process. We decided to get out and sorted out with one of the many other competitors. If you Destream guys care about KPI, then start from your side being very clear about the whole process, clear steps to get in before giving a link to publish and before getting money. By the way, we were unable to get back those few euros we sent to "unlock" the first "onboarding" stop you sent us. Have a good coffee, it's on us... probably there are many coffees coming to you every day, in this very same way. Is it this the game?
Destream is pretty good. Some of the features are outdated but payments works just fine. My commission is about 8 percent which is okay for me because my streams are not often and they don't charge me for a subscription. Mathematically I'm in advantage haha. What I really hate is really bad Overlay service. It's glitchy, outdated and it's not working on mobile. Nevertheless the service itself is great as idea. Chat support works but not so fast. Any issues I have (and a had a bunch of them) they usually resolves in 2-4 days.
