Payout frequency is how often an affiliate program sends your earned commissions to your bank or payment account, typically weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
Quick answer: Chaturbate pays affiliates biweekly (every two weeks) via check, ACH, wire, or Paxum. The minimum payout is $50 for most methods. Stripchat pays monthly via wire or ePayService with a $100 minimum.

How payout frequency works for cam affiliates
Payout frequency determines your cash flow cycle as an affiliate, and it varies from program to program. Chaturbate processes payouts every two weeks. Stripchat runs on a monthly schedule. Some smaller programs pay weekly. The schedule matters because it affects when you can reinvest earnings into more traffic or cover your expenses.
Each program also has a minimum payout threshold. If your balance is below the minimum when the payout cycle runs, your earnings roll over to the next cycle. For newer affiliates earning smaller amounts, this can mean waiting an extra cycle or two before receiving your first payment.
Payout schedules across major cam programs
Chaturbate has one of the most affiliate-friendly payout schedules in the industry with biweekly payments and a $50 minimum. Most other programs pay monthly, which can create a cash flow gap if you rely on affiliate income to fund paid campaigns.

BongaCams stands out with weekly payouts, which is the fastest in the industry. If cash flow matters to you, this is worth considering alongside their commission rates. I promote multiple programs partly to keep payment cycles staggered so something arrives every week or two.
Payment methods and processing times
Your chosen payment method adds processing time on top of the payout frequency, so the method you pick affects when money actually hits your account. ACH transfers within the US typically arrive 2-3 business days after payout processing. International wire transfers take 3-7 business days. Paxum is usually same-day or next-day. Checks can take 1-3 weeks by mail.
I use Paxum for most programs because the processing is fast and the fees are reasonable. Wire transfers work but the $20-$50 fee per transfer eats into smaller payouts. If you earn $200 biweekly, a $30 wire fee is a 15% haircut. Paxum fees are typically under $3. Pick the method that balances speed and cost for your payout amounts.
Chaturbate processes affiliate payouts every two weeks (biweekly). The payout covers commission earned during the previous pay period. Processing takes 1-5 business days depending on your payment method. The minimum balance required is $50 for most methods.
What happens if I do not reach the minimum payout?
Your earnings carry over to the next payout period. They do not expire or reset. Once your accumulated balance reaches the minimum threshold, it gets included in the next scheduled payout. This is standard across all cam affiliate programs.
Can I change my payment method after signing up?
Yes. Most programs let you update your payment method in your affiliate dashboard settings at any time. The change typically applies to the next payout cycle. Some programs require identity verification again when switching to a new bank account or payment service.
