Trovo Discontinues All Monetary Programs in NA, EU, LATAM Starting February 1st
Trovo announces major monetization changes, discontinuing all monetary programs including Trovo 500 in North America, Europe, and Latin America effective February 1st, 2026. Standard revenue share through subscriptions and donations remains active.
Starting February 1st, 2026, all Trovo monetary programs in North America, Europe, and Latin America - including the popular Trovo 500 program - will be discontinued. Standard revenue share through subscriptions and donations will continue to operate normally.
What's Changing
In an official announcement distributed to partnered creators, Trovo confirmed that all monetary programs will be discontinued in three major regions starting February 1st, 2026. This represents a significant shift in the platform's monetization strategy as they "reassess and adjust their approach moving forward."
The affected programs include Trovo 500 and other region-specific monetary incentive programs that have been key revenue sources for many creators on the platform. However, Trovo emphasized that the standard revenue share system will remain intact, allowing creators to continue earning gems through subscriptions and donations from their communities.
Also starting February 1st, Trovo will restrict access to live streaming for new accounts. Users who have never streamed before and newly registered users will no longer be able to start live streams on the platform.
Important: This change does NOT affect existing streamers. If you have streamed on Trovo before, you can continue using all live streaming features as usual. Trovo states this decision allows them to "focus more closely on supporting and improving the experience for existing creators and users" by concentrating resources on providing more stable services and better support.

What This Means for Creators
For creators who relied on Trovo 500 and other monetary programs as significant income sources, this change represents a substantial shift in their revenue model. Many streamers used these programs to supplement their income while building their audience on the platform.
However, creators can still earn through the standard revenue share system via subscriptions and donations, which converts to gems that can be cashed out. This model is similar to other major streaming platforms, where creator income is primarily derived from direct viewer support rather than platform incentive programs.
