Paxum: the preferred payment option

TipPaxum tip
Create your Paxum account before signing up as a Chaturbate affiliate. The verification process can take 1-2 days and you do not want to delay your first payout because your e-wallet is not ready.
CosmoPayment, SEPA, ACH and Canada EFT
Older writeups listed ePayService and wire transfer as default Chaturbate affiliate methods. They are not on Chaturbate’s current official payout table. Use the methods above, Paxum, check or crypto instead.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency payouts
Bitcoin is a current Chaturbate payout method. The official minimum is $200. Chaturbate’s processing fee is $45.00 per payout, and the blockchain then charges its own network fee. Chaturbate buys the coins in USD and sends them; the amount you receive can move with the exchange rate between the request and the transfer.
Check payments (legacy option)
WarningCrypto and check risk
Paper checks can get lost in the mail. Bitcoin can move in value between the request and the transfer. If you need a predictable dollar amount, use Paxum or ACH.
