How We Keep This FAQ Accurate

We don't publish answers and forget them. When a payment process changes, when a new deposit method goes live, or when state eligibility shifts, we update the relevant FAQ entries. Every answer below reflects our current operating process, not a generic template.

Written by the Platform Team

These answers come directly from the people who manage accounts, payments and support — not from a third-party content vendor or auto-generated copy.

Payment Details Are Current

PayPal, Venmo and Play+ answers reflect how those rails actually clear today, including what you see in your account wallet after a transaction confirms.

No Invented Numbers

We don't publish payout speeds or processing times we can't stand behind. If timing varies, we say so and explain what affects it instead.

Eligibility Framed Honestly

Access depends on your state's laws. We tell you how to check eligibility rather than making blanket claims about where the platform is available.
