Why Use Dice Rolls on Your Stream?


If you’re looking to engage users in a new way with a toolset that fits the need of your broadcast, StreamRoll has all your dice rolling needs sorted!

Instant Audience Engagement

Creates Moments of Suspense

Building up to that moment, where it’s down to the wire and success or failure hinges on just the roll of one dice, engaging silence as the dice tumbles on screen.

Gets Viewers Invested

Because it cannot be fully scripted, the dice rolls are unique, random and inherently interesting to a viewer, wanting to know what will happen next.

Encourages Chat Participation

You can let Chat shape the narrative or have them control fate by rolling the dice!


Versatility Across Content Types

Live Tabletop Gaming

TableTop RPG’s are big right now, huge renaissance and demand for great content in the space and people need to stand out in the what and how they produce content.

IRL Streams

Make chat decide where you go, decide what to eat, how long you go in one direction (safely of course). Wildlife streams could use it to trigger some enrichment in the scene based on what is rolled.

Talk Shows & Interviews

Make a regular feature of 20 questions, roll a dice to see which interview question is asked or what chat can engage with.

Creative Streams

Roll for tool choice on how we sculpt this clay, or roll for which paintbrush, ideas are endless.

Variety Content

Run a roguelike game, once the run ends, run a saving roll, if it succeeds, the game stays on! Complete a race then its up to the dice if the car is swapped out for something better, or worse…

Chat Games & Competitions

Let chat take over the stream, enable different cameras perspective based on a D4. Turn certain scenes on or off.


Community Building

Creates Inside Jokes

Create that one chatter who has the most terrible luck, or get that !rigged command ready!

Builds Consistency

If you want to become more known in a tabletop space for example, having content align with that and extra features that reinforce that fandom can all help make the content stand out more.

Memorable Experiences

Real make or break moments, chat was in control when the campaign was saved by their dice roll.

Conversation Starter

On screen elements are more eye catching than just an output to the chat room!


Monetization Opportunities

Basic rolls (StreamRoll for Chat)

Basic rolls don’t cost anything to roll however the config can be modified to roll more dice. For example a D20 could be setup as a basic roll and then a user can spend bits to roll an extra dice as part of that for “advantage”.

Premium Rolls (StreamRoll for Chat)

Premium rolls require bits to be spent to be rolled, prevents spam and enables new engagement.

Subscriber Integration (StreamRoll for Chat)

Configs enabled for the Twitch Extension can be limited to being only accessible to active subscribers of your Twitch channel.


Storytelling & Narrative

Organic Plot Development

Sometimes (or sometimes always) the dice’s wants will be not how you planned it out, but it will make for engaging content and a good story at the end of it.

Remove Decision Paralysis

Rolls leave the decision to chance and easier to commit to the results

Audience Agency

Chat feels like they’re also a player in the game or active participant of the content.

Surprising Outcomes
