I didn’t think all verified bots had a badge? I thought it had to do with those bots, like Nightbot and Moobot being partnered and verified that way.
Correct. Verified bots don’t have the verified badge. That’s partners only at the moment.

Yea. Lets not get into why some bots are partnered. >_>
Sorry, I’m coming to this conversation late. Just now seeing it for the first time. I’m a little confused.
@xangold Ultimate Twitch Bot is a stand alone desktop application. Users use their own bot accounts and store their data locally. As the developer, I limit their API request and their message rates. Users have the ability to send whispers using my application and their own account.
How can we allow all my users to safely whisper from their own accounts when using Ultimate Twitch Bot? So you need each of my users to submit an application or can we identify them using my client ID? Please advise 
Each user account will need to apply for whitelisting. Client IDs are public information thus easily stolen and abused especially if it is a desktop application.

This is what I have been telling the users of PhantomBot to do, to go and register each of their own bots. Especially because PhantomBot is open source, we [development] have limited control over what folks do with the bot once they have it. Especially if they are developers themselves. That said, I provided the link to the registration to the PhantomBot community some time ago and encouraged folks to sign up not just for themselves but to help Twitch create a better bot experience all around.

My bot has is_verified_bot set to true but is_known_bot set to false. What does is_known_bot refer to?
is_known_bot is the application that’s in this thread’s OP. Have a chat/whisper bot? Let us know!

Hey Twitch Staff. I put in a request to have my bot authorized awhile ago but have yet to hear a response. Big queue to process?
You don’t get a response. You can check if you’ve been added tho;
Gotcha. Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks in advance. Hopefully I’m not going too wild with all the features I’ve been implementing 
@xangold are you still taking applications for this or not as i have applyed a while back and not herd anything and when i check my bots name nothings changed ???

Same for me, my bot isnt getting any known_bot tag, even tho the form has been filled some times ago and we had answers on this topic that a wave of acceptance was done.
“is_verified_bot”: false
“is_known_bot”: true
Do i have benefit of extended limits?
Yes. See the original post of this thread, which is specifically about known bots.
Are applications still being processed?
Will is_known_bot be available in the New Twitch API(Helix)?
@xangold You seems to be the appointed dev handling this stuff - any news? Any ETA for next wave?

@xangold Do you still take applications into considerations or is it past ?
I have a problem that my bot does not send messages to all the users. Just the ones He knows or followed him.
I would appreciate if my bot would get promoted to known bot 
Thanks
Yea, right, only “is_verified_bot: true” can send whispers to all
Idk why… its twitch logic
It was observed that bots started using th whisper system to circumvent channel moderation. And send malware or general spam to website users. So to save server load, browser load and general all round protection of users. Whispers that didn’t originate via the whisper interface being sent to a user where the message was a conversation started are blocked.
I still stand by “bots should reply to users in the same medium as the request” which avoids all these issues. But that’s a whole different kettle of fish.
