How the money works
The creator is paid only after they publish.
You only pay if you win.
Bidding is free. No pending hold — your card is saved and charged only if you win. If your bid wins a slot, you are charged your bid, once. If it doesn't, nothing is charged, so there is no refund to wait for.
No video, full refund.
If the creator doesn't publish within 7 days of their own date, every sponsor is refunded in full and the creator is paid nothing.
Cancel before the last 12 hours.
Cancel any time before the last 12 hours. After that your bid is final; if the creator never publishes, you're refunded in full.
Stripe charges it, Stripe pays it.
Your card, or above $300 a US bank account, is saved with Stripe and charged only if you win. Payouts run through the creator's own Stripe account, and we mirror what Stripe says rather than guessing ahead of it.
For creators

You keep 80%.

Paid 7 days after you publish.
Paste the link and the time your shout-out begins, and the clock starts. You're paid for every payment that has landed by then, and for a bank payment still clearing once it lands. That week, the sponsors you read out are asked whether they were in it.
Reject anyone, for free.
A sponsor you don't want is never charged, or is refunded in full. We cover the cost.
