5 Proven Ways to Get Raided on Twitch

Getting raided on Twitch is one of the best feelings as a small streamer. It's instant validation, a boost in viewers, and a chance to showcase your content to a new audience. But how do you get more raids without awkwardly asking for them?

1. Raid Others First (Strategically)

The golden rule of Twitch networking: give before you receive. But don't raid randomly—raid streamers who are actually compatible with your content. When your audiences overlap, the relationship becomes mutually beneficial.

Pro tip: Use RaidRoulette's compatibility matching to find high-synergy raid targets. The app can even send a message showing your synergy score, making your raid memorable and professional.

2. Stream at Strategic Times

Raids happen at the end of streams. If you start streaming just as others in your game category are ending, you become a natural raid target. Matching tools can help you find streamers whose schedules complement yours.

3. Get Discovered Through Compatibility

Instead of hoping random streamers find you, use platforms where other streamers are actively looking for raid targets. On RaidRoulette, streamers browse verified profiles sorted by compatibility—meaning you get discovered by people who are already a good fit for your content.

4. Make Your Channel Raid-Ready

When a raid comes in, you have seconds to make an impression. Have a raid alert that welcomes viewers, acknowledge the raider by name, and keep your energy high. First impressions matter.

5. Join Active Streamer Communities

Raid chains happen in active communities. Whether it's Discord servers, Twitter circles, or dedicated platforms like RaidRoulette, being visible in spaces where streamers hang out increases your raid opportunities exponentially.

The days of hoping to be randomly discovered are over. By positioning yourself strategically and using the right tools, you can attract raids from compatible streamers consistently.
