A game participant selects to stream output from the online game to one or more viewers via a broadcast streaming server. The content item server receives an indication from the broadcast streaming server that the game participant is broadcasting output from the online game to one or more viewers. Based at least upon the indication that a game player is broadcasting game output, the content item server determines to provide additional or extended game content to the game participant who is broadcasting the gameplay.
