RaidPort is a free, 24/7 Twitch channel that runs a raid gameshow. These are the questions people ask about it and about raiding in general, answered plainly, with the real numbers from the code that runs the show.
The loop in one line. Raid twitch.tv/raidport at the end of your stream, your raid earns a Charge, a slice on the wheel. Chat votes on categories to shape the wheel, and when it lands on you the whole channel raids you. Be live when it lands.
A raid sends your viewers to another live channel when you end your stream. Type /raid followed by the channel name in your chat, or use the Raid Channel quick action in your Stream Manager. After a short countdown your viewers move over together, and the other streamer sees an alert with your name and how many people came with you. It is the friendliest way to end a stream: your community stays together and another streamer gets a boost.
A raid train is a group of streamers who go live in back-to-back time slots and each raid the next one when their slot ends, so one audience travels down the line all day. Groups usually plan them in Discord with a shared schedule. RaidPort works like a raid train that never ends: the channel is always live, so you can raid in whenever your stream finishes, and every raid earns a Charge, a chance to get raided back by the whole channel.
Raid RaidPort. twitch.tv/raidport is live 24 hours a day, so there is always somewhere to send your viewers when you hit End Stream. Twitch's own advice for finding someone to raid is "browsing the category you were streaming in, checking out the raid browser in your Creator Dashboard, and seeing who your friends recommend" (Twitch Creator Camp). RaidPort is the option for the nights when none of those turn anyone up. The raid finder guide walks through all six ways to find someone to raid.
Twitch has one built in: the raid browser in your Creator Dashboard, which Twitch's own guide lists next to browsing your category and asking friends (Twitch Creator Camp). Third-party raid finder sites exist too. RaidPort is not a search tool. It is the place to raid when the raid browser turns up nobody you want to send your viewers to: raid twitch.tv/raidport, your viewers land on a live show, and your raid puts your name on the wheel.
A free Twitch channel that runs a raid gameshow for small streamers. Streamers raid into it at the end of their streams. Each raid earns the streamer a Charge: a slice on a gameshow wheel of raiders and a chance to get raided back by the whole channel. Chat votes on which category gets a bigger slice, and whoever the wheel lands on gets the whole channel raided to them. It was built by one small streamer and opens in Fall 2026.
On RaidPort, by raiding in first. Every raid into twitch.tv/raidport earns one Portal Charge, and your first raid ever earns two. One Charge is one slice on the wheel. When the wheel lands on your slice while you are live, the whole channel raids you. Outside RaidPort, the usual ways are raiding others so they know you, streaming in a category where raiders look, and joining streamer communities.
Every Portal Charge you hold is one slice, so your odds on a given spin are your Charges divided by all the Charges on the wheel. Before the spin, chat votes on a category, and the winning category's slices grow. A raid in earns one Charge; your first raid earns two. Raiding in or winning sits you out for 8 hours: no new Charge, and your slices wait off the wheel until it ends. Winning also spends one Charge, so the wheel goes round. Only channels that are live can be landed on.
No. Nothing runs on your side and there are no fake accounts. You raid by hand, the same way you raid a friend, and the raids that come to you are Twitch's own raid feature sent by a real channel with real viewers. Twitch's Community Guidelines prohibit "organizing or participating in hostile raiding" and "viewership tampering" (Twitch); RaidPort does neither, and any streamer can opt out with one chat command.
No. There is no login, no OAuth screen and no bot in your channel. RaidPort sees your raid because it lands on the RaidPort channel. That is the whole integration.
The wheel skips to the next live channel and your Charge is not spent. Being live is the whole game, so raid in at the end of a stream when you plan to be back soon, or stay live for the round.
However many people are watching the RaidPort channel at that moment. It is a small channel in beta, so right now that is a small number, and the site will not inflate it. The audience grows with the number of streamers raiding in, because every raid in brings that streamer's viewers along.
Raid someone. Twitch's guidance is to find a raid target in your own category, the raid browser in the Creator Dashboard, or your friends' recommendations. If nobody you know is live, raid twitch.tv/raidport: your viewers land on a live show, and your raid puts you on the wheel for the next rounds.
Type !optout in twitch.tv/raidport chat. You will never be put on the wheel or raided by RaidPort again, and !optin undoes it. Or email raidport.tv@gmail.com. The privacy page has the details.
No. There are no paid tiers, no paid viewer boosts, and nothing anyone can buy to get a bigger slice. Bits and subs on the channel never change a result.
The portal opens Fall 2026. Signing up at raidport.tv with your Twitch handle means you hear first when it opens, and you can raid in while the wheel is still small, which is when wins come most often.
