Bounty Board access in more countries.
I mean it's pretty self explanatory but currently the Bounty Board system is only available in five countries (US, Canada, UK, Germany and France.)
We should expand that list to other countries so there is more incentive to stream on Twitch instead of some other platform.

Reason why the Bounties are often from game devs and brands targeting high-engagement audiences. The current countries represent major gaming markets with high streamer density and ad spend. Expanding might dilute focus if demand isn't there yet from advertisers in other regions.
But say that that as Creator in Australia plenty of marketing opportunities and we are offered forgotten. Expanding the scope of Twitch's Bounty Board to include more regions in addition to the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France offers Twitch more opportunities to create reasons for streamers to choose Twitch over its rivals, YouTube Gaming and Kick. Currently, only a small subset of streamers are able to access this feature, with Partners and Affiliates being able to get paid sponsorships and earning several hundreds to thousands of dollars a stream. Twitch can easily maintain and deepen the loyalty of streamers by issuing exclusive bounties, which are in addition to subs, bits, and ads, Twitch's loyalty monetization constructs, by opening the feature in high-growth markets such as Brazil, Japan, and Southeast Asia. This not only serves to increase the revenue that streamers can earn but also addresses the more market development opportunities across the globe, especially in the rapidly developing gaming ecosystems.
The promise of market development also serves Twitch's own monetization objectives. The global expansion of the Bounty Board offers Twitch the opportunity to address its own bottom line, attracting more international advertisers and increasing ad revenue. With global payouts already being offered, Twitch can create a positive feedback loop by offering more bounties, increasing the quality and quantity of streams, and improving viewer attention in high competition emerging markets. This increased competition benefits all players in the Twitch gaming ecosystem.
