The balance on screen is fuel. The hourly rate is the business. Profit is simply: hours streamed past breakeven. Change the numbers below and see exactly where it flips green.
Model assumes the full balance is lost every stream — the worst case. Any winnings only extend the stream and add margin.
| Stream length | Hours / wk | Hourlies | Deposits | Net / week |
|---|
| Target length | Max burn (CAD/h) | Net / stream |
|---|
Stay on air past breakeven. Every extra hour is pure margin. Short sessions are the only way this model loses money.
Size bets to survive the session. The balance has to last long enough to collect the hours. Burn slower, earn longer.
