VIP - Directly Support Breakers.TV

We launched Breakers.TV on October 16, 2013 and quickly became the #1 live streaming site for Box & Case breaks. That came with a lot of growing pains, however. Since then we've been approached by several Breakers to make this site a paid service to keep up with the growth. That isn't an idea we're fond of since people would go to a free alternative. Over the years our service has become much more reliable, but we're still struggling to get the funds to address several lacking features. Several think we make money from sales on Breakers.TV, but that is sadly not true. We do make money from ads on here, but not enough to buy a steak dinner at the end of the month. We love this community, we want to help it grow, but we need your help. Make a donation or become a VIP member today!

* This excludes Global Messages, service notices, front page promotions, third party services.

* Free users and VIP Basic users are only routed to our Chicago, IL video edge system. We have a separate video edge system, with multiple locations, in place for VIP Gold members to greatly improve load times and reduce buffering. Our advanced video routing system picks the best location automatically for you. Note this is for viewing streams only, this is not for broadcasting.

** We utilize a third party service that determines if a connection is a VPN/Proxy. We block VPN/Proxy services from creating accounts and signing in to help prevent malicious abuse of our services. However, there are times where a legitimate ISP gets flagged due to a false positive. In which situation we gladly whitelist as soon as we are made aware of the error.

*** "not signed in" refers to your ability to chat. Nobody will be able to see you in the chat when Ghost Mode is enabled. Also note that you will not be able to chat with Ghost Mode enabled.

What don't I get?

This does not protect you from being banned, muted, etc in streams
This does not allow you to do as you please, you still must follow our rules and guidelines
This does not prevent your account or stream from being closed
This does not guarantee website/service uptime. We hate downtime, but sometimes things happen or services need scheduled updating.
If you are a streamer, this does not grant you a license to stream any content. You still must follow our broadcast guidelines.

FAQ

Q: Why does VIP Gold cost $14.95 USD per month? That is awfully expensive. Other sites only charged $X.XX USD per month!
A: It is very expensive to run websites like this. We have no investors, we are a bootstrapped company. We feel this is a fair price considering the features and number of websites & future mobile apps this VIP package covers.
Q: If VIP let's us bypass the Video Servers at Capacity message, that means you're intentionally limiting us to sell VIP!
A: We put limits on our video servers to ensure they have enough overhead capacity to stay online. With VIP, we are adding server capacity which in the end benefits everyone.
Q: How do you decide when the Video Servers at Capacity message shows?
A: If video servers are at capacity and channel has less than X viewers (150-1000), don't show servers at capacity message. And if channel has more than X viewers but servers are NOT at capacity, don't show servers at capacity message. We try to keep a 10% bandwidth overhead on each video edge server available at all times to act as a cushion for sudden traffic, those that have VIP, and those smaller channels. This number of viewers for the smaller channels totals to much smaller than you would expect which is why this solution can work without affecting the overall video system.
Q: Are these the only features for VIP Gold? I wanted more than this.
A: No. We are working on additional features to add to VIP Gold in the coming future, at no extra charge to your existing VIP subscription of course. VIP Basic will remain basic.
Q: I'm one of the first one hundred to get VIP Gold for $9.95 USD per month. Is this forever?
A: You will pay that amount for as long as you have VIP. However if you cancel VIP, that special rate will go away.
Q: Can I share my VIP account with other people?
A: No. Your VIP account would be subject to termination if you shared it.
Q: How do I cancel my VIP subscription?
A: :( What?! Well, if you must, sign in to the PayPal account you purchased VIP under and find the transaction. Once you've done that, PayPal will have an option to end the subscription.
Q: If I purchase VIP for my account, does that mean anyone that visits my stream won't see ads?
A: No. The VIP features are only for your use.
Q: Will you offer a package in the future to remove ads for anyone that visits my stream?
A: Possibly, but we do not have any plans for that at this time.
