ChillaBites, a Texas-based maker of hemp-derived THC edibles and tinctures, resolved a compliance review with Kick. Following direct engagement with Kick’s legal team, the platform confirmed ChillaBites is fully compliant and may continue work with creators—provided streams featuring our products are categorized 18+.

Background

Launched just over seven months ago, ChillaBites quickly built momentum—onboarding 30+ Kick streamers, shipping free samples, and discussing paid collaborations. Around two weeks ago, some partners reported emails instructing them to remove ChillaBites branding within 24 hours or risk account access. This triggered understandable concern among creators who rely on Kick for income.

Resolution

We immediately contacted Kick’s legal department, emphasizing our adherence to federal standards for hemp-derived products. After a thorough review, Kick confirmed that ChillaBites’ collaborations are permitted to continue with appropriate content categorization (18+).

“We appreciate Kick’s confirmation and our community’s support. The question remains—has trust been impacted, and how do we best rebuild momentum together?”
— ChillaBites Spokesperson
