|---|---|---|
| Creator share | Verified Creators earn 80% of the revenue from subscriptions, sales or tips related to their content and profile. A valid payout method is required before payments are issued. | Verified The standard creator earning rate is 80% of gross revenue from paid-for services.

| Platform fee | Verified The terms state the creator share as 80% of subscriptions, sales and tips. They do not publish a separate fee table. The remaining 20% is the implied platform share of those amounts. Chargebacks and content that breaks the terms can be deducted from that revenue. | Verified 20% of gross revenue from subscriptions, tips, pay-per-view messages, bundles and custom content, at the standard rate. Promotional rates can change the creator share for a limited time. Partnership rates can be agreed in writing. Earnings are calculated exclusive of taxes and third-party processing charges, and can be adjusted for refunds, chargebacks or fraud. |
| Currency and GBP | Verified Official figure where one is printed: US dollars. The inactive-account fee is USD 5 a month. No GBP subscription price list appears in the terms we read. Do not convert the 80% share into a pound figure. The share is a percentage of whatever the fan paid. | Verified Official figures that are printed in money, rather than percentages, are in US dollars. The dispute admin fee is USD 50. The referral cap is USD 50,000. No GBP price list is published in the earnings policy or the referral policy. Do not invent a sterling subscription price. |
| UK payouts and banks | Unverified Unverified for named UK banks and for whether UK creators are paid by Faster Payment, SEPA or SWIFT. The terms describe a bank account, a payout processor or a direct bank wire. They do not mention UK sort codes, account-number formats, or a UK e-money firm. | Verified Direct bank transfer is on the published list of methods that may be supported. The policy does not name a UK bank, a sort code, Faster Payments, or CHAPS. Crypto is only 'where supported'. Whether a UK creator can choose sterling, rather than a dollar transfer that the bank converts, is not stated. |
| Payout speed | Unverified Unverified. The terms we read do not state a pending period, a review time, or how many days a transfer takes to reach a bank. | Verified The standard pending period is 7 days. It can be extended up to 28 days based on verification and activity, and Fanvue says that window can change without notice. Fanvue aims to start a valid payout within 10 business days. Fraud reviews, banking delays and wrong payment details can make it longer. |
| Minimum payout | Unverified Unverified. The terms require a valid payout method before payments are issued. They do not print a minimum in dollars or pounds. | Unverified Unverified as an amount. A minimum applies to the withdrawal method you chose. The policy does not print a dollar or pound floor. |
| Chargebacks and refunds | Verified Fansly may deduct revenue from subscriptions, sales or tips that resulted in a chargeback, and revenue tied to content that breaks the terms. A fan whose purchase leads to a chargeback may have their account suspended or terminated. The terms we read do not promise that creators are shielded from ordinary chargebacks. | Verified Fanvue may deduct a disputed amount from the creator balance, withhold it from later payouts, or recover it. If the account goes over a 1.5% chargeback or dispute rate in any rolling 30 days, Fanvue may charge USD 50 for each extra dispute. That fee can be waived. Referral commission is reversed when the underlying payment is refunded or charged back. |
| UK creator age and identity check | Verified The public terms require creators to be approved, to be 18 or over, and to keep identity and consent records for anyone depicted. They also allow collection of biometric data from verification documents. They do not describe a UK-only creator flow or name an age-check supplier. Ofcom's standard for services that allow pornographic content is separate: see the Online Safety Act guide. This paragraph only reports what the terms say. | Verified Creators complete full KYC wherever they are, so a UK creator is in that rule. That is a government ID, a selfie and a liveness check, matched to the ID, through Ondato. Creator ID records are kept while the account is open and for 7 years after it closes. The policy names the UK under Ofcom's Protection of Children Codes, in effect July 2025, as a country where viewers must be checked. Creator KYC is required on top of that, in every country. |
| Referral programme | Verified The creator referral code is for new creators who have not finished their application. The Creator Hub says that code earns 5% of their sales for one year. The terms add that the new creator must use the same browser that clicked the link, and that referral ads must not use Google Ads, Facebook Ads or similar services to impersonate Fansly. A rate after that first year is not stated on the Creator Hub page we read. | Verified A verified creator can earn 5% of a referred creator's qualifying revenue after platform fees. The window is 12 months if the new creator registered on or after 9 April 2026, and 36 months if they registered before that date. The cap is USD 50,000 per referred creator. The link or code has to be applied at registration, in the same browser session. Paid search ads need Fanvue's written permission. Refunds reverse the commission. Checkout sales are excluded from qualifying revenue. |
