These partners are key to accessing large, engaged user bases through organic growth and social connections. Sidekick’s most recent success is highlighted by reaching 1.08 million users for its Sidefans bot within four days, growing to 5.9 million users to date. Additionally, Sidekick has partnered with Trovo Live, Eastern Europe’s largest live-streaming platform, which boasts over 1 million content creators and 23 million registered users. By providing Affiliate Partners with the tools and support they need, Sidekick aims to connect and serve the entire social and gaming ecosystem, creating a more sustainable and cost-effective growth model for the industry.
