A Bigo PK is a real-time competition between two streamers on the Bigo Live app, where viewers vote for a winner by sending virtual gifts. The term "PK" can stand for "Player Knockout" or "Performance Knockout". The streamer who receives more virtual gifts during the competition is declared the winner and receives rewards, while the loser may have to receive a punishment.

How it works
Competition: Two streamers go live simultaneously in a competitive mode.

Voting: Viewers participate by sending virtual gifts, which have a corresponding value in "beans" for the streamer.

Winning: The streamer with the higher total value of gifts at the end of the timed battle wins.

Rewards/Punishments: The winner earns rewards, and the loser may face a pre-determined punishment.

Strategic elements: Advanced strategies often involve the timing of when gifts are sent to create momentum and increase chances of winning, especially in official PKs with higher stakes.
