TwitCasting
Platform · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
TwitCasting (ツイキャス, "TwitCas") is a Japanese live-streaming platform that has been running since 2009; the owner is モイ株式会社, Moi Corporation. Historically the service grew around quick broadcasts from a smartphone and a tie-in with Twitter, and that is still visible in how it is built: you can sign in with an X account, and one of the conditions for access to money is counted by the number of followers on X.
The main peculiarity you have to understand before you start: an ordinary broadcast here lasts 30 minutes and ends automatically. It is extended not by the streamer's money but by the viewers, with an item called the continue coin (コンティニューコイン). That makes the platform fundamentally conversational: without viewer activity a broadcast simply cuts off.
TwitCasting's documents are primary in Japanese: the platform warns that "in case of a discrepancy in meaning between the Japanese original and a translation, the Japanese original prevails".
Who's here
The platform publishes no audience figures of its own. The owning company calls TwitCasting the "largest live-streaming service in Japan" and, in a footnote on the same page, names the source: an App Ape study by Fuller, Inc. (フラー株式会社). That is the company citing an outside measurement, not the publication of the measurement itself: the page gives neither a figure nor a date for it.
What is visible on the open pages is the language and the structure of interest. The interface is available in Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese (traditional), but the category catalogue is assembled for a Japanese audience: the sections are built around the voice ("ikebo" — a pleasant male voice, "kawabo" — a cute female one), talk broadcasts by age group, music, games and "sleep broadcasts".
Getting started
The platform puts it this way: registration, broadcasting, watching, commenting and using items are on the whole free — except for certain features such as premiere broadcasts and membership; a new user is credited with 100 free points. You can sign in with X, Google or a separate "Cas account" (the sign-in form on the home page).
Identity verification is needed not for broadcasting but for money: before the revenue features are switched on you have to upload documents and wait for a review.
For broadcasting from a computer there is a separate guide to OBS Studio, plus sections on the recommended configuration, "ultra-high quality" and broadcasting via screen sharing.
What you can publish
The formats are live broadcasts, "radio broadcasts" (voice with a still), game broadcasts from a phone (ゲームズ配信), collaborations, group and private broadcasts, recordings, clips, highlights, paid premiere broadcasts and digital goods (the help sections).
Duration is the main limit. The platform's rule: an ordinary broadcast is 30 minutes per "slot", an extension costs 5 coins for each following 30 minutes; for game broadcasts, membership owners and authors of level 50 and above it is 40 coins for every 4 hours. The ceilings: a broadcast can be extended with coins up to a maximum of 24 hours, while without changing the setting continuous broadcasting is capped at 4 hours (8 hours for game broadcasts and membership owners). You cannot buy coins for yourself: only a viewer gives them during a broadcast. There is also a technical window: on Wednesdays from 10:00 maintenance runs for about 10 minutes, and during that time a broadcast cannot be extended.
The content rules are gathered in the community guidelines. Forbidden are sexual content and comments urging nudity; defamation and discrimination on the grounds of religion, nationality, race, gender and belonging to sexual minorities; broadcasting self-harm and suicidal acts; making contact for sexual purposes, especially with minors; spreading other people's private information; broadcasting someone else's content without the rights holder's permission. Undisclosed advertising is covered separately: if you have received payment or goods, that has to be indicated, for example with a PR mark in the title.
How to grow
The platform does not describe its recommendation algorithm. The open growth tools are categorization (a broadcast is placed in a specific niche category and the viewer comes from there), notifications to followers, automatic posting of the broadcast start to X, joint broadcasts with viewers and "communities" (コミュ) for posts between broadcasts (the help sections).
There is a level mechanic: the account level affects the broadcasting terms — from level 50 a broadcast is extended on the "game" scheme, 40 coins for 4 hours. Exactly how the level grows the open pages do not explain. Separately there are programmes for legal entities: public broadcasting, a "talent manager" and an official programme (the list); the terms of participation are not disclosed.
Path to monetization
Live revenue and "dango"
The main scheme is called 「ライブ収益」 (live revenue), and the internal unit of account is お団子 ("dango", literally "dumplings"). The platform explains: dango accumulate for views of published recordings and for items received, live for 180 days from the moment of receipt, and are converted into monetary revenue only when the streamer has received a "special revenue item". The platform does not disclose the conversion rate and says so plainly: "at the conversion rate set by the company (not disclosed)". The rules for awarding bonus dango are also declared closed, and the company will not answer questions about them.
The access conditions. The feature works only for residents of Japan, the USA (except California), Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, Singapore and Indonesia. You can switch it on by meeting one of the conditions: total watch time of your broadcasts over the last 3 months of 100 hours or more (the general programme, 18+), or 30 hours under the "U programme" for 15–24-year-olds living in Japan, or 100 subscribers on a YouTube channel, or 3000 followers on X. Time is counted as viewers multiplied by minutes: two viewers for 3 minutes give 6 minutes.
And this is where the versions diverge. The Japanese page says: "this feature can be switched on by a person aged 15 and over". The English version of the same page states that the feature is available to users aged 18 and over. Priority, by the platform's own rule, goes to the Japanese text.
Membership (channel subscription)
A membership owner creates up to three plans at different prices. The prices are fixed by a list: 500, 700, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and 10,000 yen a month, all tax-inclusive; once members have joined the price cannot be changed. For the "U programme" the set is different: only the 500-yen plan, or a configuration of three plans at 500, 1000 and 5000 yen — and the higher plans can be opened only from the age of 18, with no way back to a single plan.
Membership also changes the broadcasting rules: a membership owner runs an ordinary broadcast for up to 4 hours without coins, a closed broadcast for members for up to 8 hours, can set up to 10 general badges and up to 10 per plan, and has special paid membership items — お茶爆300 and 極茶爆1000. Closed recordings and posts and a Discord link-up are available too.
Points on the viewer's side
Gifts are bought with "points". The rules: the free stock is capped at 500 points, a purchase lets you accumulate above that ceiling, and 30 days after the last purchase the ceiling returns to 500. Part of what is spent comes back: points spent the previous day are credited back as free ones, but no more than 100 a day. For minors there is a purchase ceiling: 13–17 years — no more than 100 dollars a month (or the equivalent), from 18 there is no restriction, and in all cases the legal guardian's permission is required; notifications about large spending arrive on exceeding 1000 and 5000 dollars in a month.
Payouts
Money does not reach an account at once: the sum becomes "available to claim" 15 days after the special revenue item is received. Then come the claim rules: a claim can be filed for a sum above 1500 yen; if less than 30,000 yen is requested, a transfer fee of 500 yen is withheld; if incorrect bank details caused the transfer to fail, 1000 yen is withheld. The cycle: revenue fixed as of the 5th is paid on the 25th, and revenue fixed as of the 20th on the 10th of the following month. For non-residents of Japan withdrawal goes through PayPal, the sum is shown in yen but transferred in US dollars, and withholding tax is deducted in Japan; this route is closed to legal entities. If no claim is filed, after 180 days the funds are transferred automatically.
Tools and automation
TwitCasting is a rare case of a platform with an open, documented and freely available API. Application registration goes through the developer page with no described selection procedure, and authorization runs on OAuth 2.0 in two variants: authorization code for server applications and implicit for applications without a server. The token lives a long time: the sample response gives expires_in of 15,552,000 seconds — that is 180 days.
What is available through APIv2: user details, broadcasts and recordings, control of the current broadcast (subtitles, hashtag), comments — reading, posting and deleting, gifts, followers and "supporters", categories, search, webhooks, obtaining the RTMP address for broadcasting and the Realtime API; the limits are returned in X-RateLimit-* headers, and for the user details method the ceiling is stated outright — 60 requests per 60 seconds. The official libraries are modest: the platform names the PHP client shucream0117/twitcasting-oauth and the Ruby strategy twitcasting/omniauth-twitcasting and warns that the documentation is written in Japanese.
Inside the platform itself there are add-ons: moderators, subtitles, a virtual background, a 3D avatar in "studio" mode and polls (the help sections).
Limits and rules
- Broadcast. 30 minutes per slot, extension for viewers' coins, a ceiling of 24 hours.
- Age and money. Live revenue — from the age of 15 per the Japanese version of the help, membership under the general programme — from the age of 18 and only if the legal entity is located in Japan; payout to non-residents through PayPal is not available to legal entities.
- Geography of revenue. Nine jurisdictions, California excluded.
- Gaming the system. The platform warns that using items on yourself, inflating recording views and handing out items from several accounts will cause accumulated dango to be seized.
- Content. The community guidelines; separate documents cover broadcasting music, TV programmes and games, and content of a "sensitive" nature (the list).
- Law. The contract is with Moi Corporation under Japanese law, the text of the agreement; some features may be unavailable depending on language and region (the help's caveat).
Who it's for
It suits you if your audience is Japanese or Japanese-speaking and you are ready to hold a live conversation: without viewers giving coins a broadcast will not last longer than half an hour. It suits beginning authors — the entry threshold for revenue is low and allows entry on external metrics (100 YouTube subscribers or 3000 followers on X), and membership opens at the 500-yen plan already. It suits developers: the API is open, documented and requires no selection by application.
It does not suit you if you live outside the nine jurisdictions listed — revenue simply will not switch on. It does not suit companies outside Japan. And it does not suit those who need transparent economics: the platform does not disclose, as a matter of principle, the rate at which dango convert into money, which means you cannot calculate the revenue from a gift in advance.

Account and access
A just-created X (Twitter) account used to sign in cannot write comments — verbatim: «悪戯や迷惑行為の防止も兼ね、作ったばかりのXアカウントはコメントを書けません» (our translation: partly to prevent pranks and nuisance behaviour, a newly created X account cannot write comments). A native TwitCasting account (キャスアカウント) can neither broadcast nor write comments until email registration is completed — verbatim: «キャスアカウントはメールアドレスの登録が完了していないと、配信やコメント送信ができません»; and in the same place: «メールアドレスの確認がされていないため、機能が制限されています» (our translation: because the email address has not been confirmed, features are restricted).

What you can publish
Text length. The limits are given separately by kind of entry (our translation): a comment — "1〜140文字", from 1 to 140 characters; the running line of a broadcast (テロップ, the Set Current Live Subtitle method) — "1〜34文字。全角は2文字、半角は1文字でカウントします", from 1 to 34 characters, and moreover a full-width character counts as two, a half-width one as one; a tag (ハッシュタグ) — "1〜26文字。記号や特殊文字を含めることはできません", from 1 to 26 characters, without punctuation marks and special symbols
our translation, the original is in Japanese; the count of characters for the running line is kept by the width of the character, not by their number; the help centre help.twitcasting.tv is closed by its own robots.txt ("User-agent: * / Disallow: /"), it was not visited

The recommended setting for broadcasting over RTMP (our translation): "映像のフォーマット: h.264" — video h.264; "音声のフォーマット: AAC" — audio AAC; "映像サイズ: 640x360" — the frame size 640x360; "フレームレート: 30fps" — 30 frames per second; "ビットレート: Video+Audioで800kbp程度" — about 800 kbp for video and audio together. Separately a warning: "1Mbpsを超えて一定時間配信が続くと、自動で切断されますのでご注意ください" — if the broadcast holds above 1 Mbps for some time, the platform itself breaks the connection. The maximum frame size depends on the codec: "最大映像サイズ: 900p/30fps or 720p/60fps (h264)、360p/30fps (h264以外)" — with h264 up to 900p at 30 frames or 720p at 60 frames, with any other codec only 360p at 30 frames. The address for broadcasting is issued by the Get RTMP Url method and returns the url and stream_key fields
our translation, the original is in Japanese; the maximum frame size is directly made dependent on the codec; 800 kbp are called a recommendation, and 1 Mbps is the threshold of a forced disconnection
source, checked 2026-08-04
Audio is described only as the track of a broadcast (our translation): "音声のフォーマット: AAC" — the AAC format; there is no separate bit rate for audio, it is set together with video: "ビットレート: Video+Audioで800kbp程度" — about 800 kbp for video and audio together. The documentation does not describe the uploading of an audio file on its own
our translation, the original is in Japanese; the bit rate is announced as common for video and audio, the source does not allow it to be split
source, checked 2026-08-04
There is no limit on the size of a file, because the documentation does not describe the uploading of files. Limits on the frequency of requests are announced: for most methods "Limit 60 requests / 60 sec", for the method of getting the thumbnail of a broadcast "Limit 制限無し" (without restriction), for a permanent connection — "Limit 5 connections / access token". In the response the platform returns the headers "X-RateLimit-Limit", "X-RateLimit-Remaining", "X-RateLimit-Reset"
our translation, the original is in Japanese; these are limits on requests to the interface, and not limits on materials

How the money works here
There are several programs. ライブ収益 ("live revenue") is the main one: the creator accumulates "お団子" (dango, internal points) for views of recordings and for gift items received from viewers, and exchanges them for money. アイテム / お茶爆 — paid items from viewers; part of the points bought from items of the level お茶爆50 and above goes into live revenue. メンバーシップ — a paid subscription to the creator. メンバーシップU — the same subscription for young creators. プレミア配信 — a paid broadcast by tickets. 楽曲収益 — a bonus for the use in a publicly available broadcast of music from a list: "全体公開配信のBGMに収益対象楽曲を利用すると、ライブ収益ボーナスとして報酬を受け取ることができる"
Our translation; the original is in Japanese; the names of the programs have been left in the original. https://twitcasting.tv/helpcenter.php?pid=HELP_LIVE_REVENUE and https://twitcasting.tv/helpcenter.php?pid=HELP_ITEM_REVENUE were also read

Who is admitted. Age from 18: "This feature is available for users aged 18 and above". In addition, one of three conditions must be met: an accumulated viewing time over the last 3 months of not less than 100 hours, or not less than 100 subscribers on a YouTube channel, or not less than 3,000 readers on Twitter. For those aged 18 to 25 under the "U program" the threshold is softer: "If you are 18 to 25 and using the U program, you can use live revenue with a cumulative viewing time of 30 hours or more". Separately, メンバーシップU is intended for "15歳以上（高校生以上）から25歳未満の方" — from 15 years old (from senior school) and under 25. The feature has to be switched on by oneself: "あらかじめ【マイページ】＞【収益管理】からライブ収益の機能開放をする必要があります"
Our translation; the original is in Japanese (the page is also served in English). The threshold of the U membership is from the page https://twitcasting.tv/promo/info/2024062001. Separately, confirmation of identity and the linking of an account are required

Payout minimum. 1,500 Japanese yen: an application for payout can be filed when 申請可能額 (the amount available to request) has reached "1,500円以上". A fee is deducted from the payout: with a sum of less than 30,000 yen "500円の手数料" is withheld; if the bank details are wrong and the transfer does not go through, "1,000円の手数料" is charged

When they pay. Payout on application, twice a month: "5日の収益は25日に、20日の収益は翌月10日に" — what is claimed by the 5th is transferred on the 25th, what is claimed by the 20th on the 10th of the following month; if the day of the transfer falls on a day off or a holiday, "前営業日に振込" (the transfer is made on the previous working day). The money for the items received does not fall into the available sum at once: "Reflection in "Available revenues" takes place 15 days after receiving Redeemable items" — after 15 days. If the creator has not filed an application for 180 days, the transfer is made automatically
