How to get pay by Chaturbate
We all care about how we get paid after we did all the hard work. Chaturbate has many ways to pay the models. Here is the options available as at Feb 2020.
Payout with no fees
You can certainly receive the payment without extra costs. And it will be the less efficient old-fashion way.
- Check/cheque sent by post – it may take1 – 2 weeks depends where you are
- By direct deposit (but USA only)
Payout with small fees (< $10)
These payment options involve a small fees. They are typically the processing fees charged by the third party payment system. One downside is that, these third party payment systems can be quite vulnerable and ultimately closed down for various reasons. We have ePassporte and FirstChoicePay closed down already. Now ePayments got some problem too.
- Pay via Paxum ($0.5 fee)
- Pay via COSMO Pay ($1 fee)
- Pay via ePayservices (0.6%, so it depends on how big your paycheck is)
Payout with higher fees but faster and more reliable
If you want to receive your money fast or reliably, it comes with a cost. A bigger cost. But then again, when money laundering is a concern and many payment options don’t work for your country, then you have to cough up the money even if you don’t need it arrives fast.
- Fed Ex check/cheque ($40 in the U.S., $80 international)
- Wire transfer ($45)
Payout with cryptocurrency
You can also receive your payout as Bitcoin. Chaturbate will convert your earnings in USD to Bitcoin at the current price. A fee of 0.0008 BTC will be charged. When Bitcoin is low it doesn’t seem very much. But when the world is paying attention to Bitcoin and the pricing is on the upward trend it can cost a lot more than we would like to pay.
For example, in Feb 2023, BTC price was USD23499.40 and the fee of 0.0008BTC was USD18.79. But a year later, in Feb 2024 BTC price was USD54539.220 and the fee of 0.0008BTC cost us USD43.63. You have to do the maths to see if it is justified for you.
Payout Period and Request for Payout
Chaturbate normally pays every 2 weeks. With keen competition for models among cam sites, they have decided to add an option to let you “request payout” even when it’s not the cut-off period yet, which is a nice touch. One may have sudden expense requirements and this surely helps.
Do let me know if there is any update on their payment options and I will update it here. Thanks.
If I tip a camgirl tokens on chaturbate, does it always have to show up in chat? Or are there ways to send tokens that are “private” (don’t show up in the public chat)?
The answer is yes and no when she is online.
If you don’t want anyone to see that she receives a tip at all while she is online in the chatroom, then no. CB shows either:
– bigdick36 tipped 25 tokens, or
– a user tipped 25 tokens anonymously
But if you just don’t want other viewers to know that you are the one who sent a tip, then “anonymous tipping” is the way to go. Only the model knows you did it, but the rest of the people in the room only see “a user tipped xx tokens anonymously”.
There is a third way, of course, is to wait till she is completely offline, her chatroom is not running and you make an offline tip. There is half a chance that she won’t notice you tip though unless she withdraw her earnings everyday and next day she found that there is a non-zero balance. CB will also send the model an email about the offline tip but you know how email got lost or overlooked so easily.
In other cam sites like Bongacams or Stripchat, you can be in an “invisible mode” and your tips can be anonymous too. Check out my post about invisible mode if you are interested.
