Getting into IPTV reselling can be a low-investment, high-return side hustle or business, if done right and legally. Here’s a full breakdown of how IPTV reseller programs work, how to get started, and what to look for when choosing the best IPTV reseller program.
π― What is an IPTV Reseller?
An IPTV reseller buys access to a bulk number of “credits” or accounts from an IPTV provider and sells them to end-users at a markup. You donβt host any content; you act as the middleman.
π οΈ How IPTV Reseller Programs Work
- Choose a Main IPTV Provider
- They offer the infrastructure, channels, content, and technical backend.
- Buy a Reseller Panel
- This is your dashboard to manage customers, create trials, activate subscriptions, etc.
- Buy Credits (or Lines)
- You purchase credits in bulk. Each credit allows you to activate one device or subscription.
- Price per credit drops with volume (e.g., $2β$5 per line, sell for $10β$15+).
- Brand & Sell
- Some programs let you white-label the service.
- You set your own pricing, offer bundles, etc.
- Provide Support
- You help your customers with basic setup and troubleshooting.
- The main provider handles backend infrastructure.
π Best IPTV Reseller Programs (as of 2024β2025)
β οΈ Many IPTV services operate in legal gray zones. Always choose a provider that has proper licensing or operate in regions where IPTV legality is clearly defined.
Here are some well-known IPTV services that offer reseller programs, both legal and gray-area:
Provider | Notes |
---|---|
Xtream UI Panels | Very popular for custom IPTV reseller setups; requires some tech skill. |
King IPTV | Offers 16,000+ channels, VOD, multi-language; reseller dashboard available. |
Gears IPTV | Known for stable streams, USA/UK focus; supports resellers. |
YeahIPTV | Simple panel, solid stream quality; widely used in Europe. |
IPTV Trends | High uptime, smooth UI, reseller-friendly plans. |
Helix IPTV | Offers lifetime subscriptions; good for aggressive marketing. |
XtremeHD IPTV | Highly rated, supports multi-screen; large VOD library. |
If you’re looking for a fully legal IPTV reseller program, consider partnering with:
- Sling TV Affiliate Program
- Philo Partner Program
- Amazon Channels
- Hulu/Disney+ Referral Programs
These may not let you “resell” directly but can offer affiliate commissions with fewer legal risks.

β Taking payments before testing
β Always test the providerβs stream quality, panel stability, and channel uptime before selling to real customers.
β Trying to sell to everyone
β Niche down: e.g., focus on sports lovers, Spanish channels, Indian entertainment, Arabic TV, etc.
