What can a Kick username contain?
Kick doesn't publish username rules. One guide says 4 to 24 letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores; our checker accepts 4 to 20 letters, numbers and underscores.
| Character | Allowed? |
|---|---|
| Letters and numbers | Yes |
| Underscore (_) | Yes; the guide and our checker agree |
| Hyphen (-) | Unconfirmed; try it on kick.com, as our checker refuses it |
| Spaces, periods, symbols | No, per the guide |
How do you make a Kick account?
- Check the name above, with YouTube and X.
- On kick.com, select Sign up, then enter an email, username and password.
