KICK payout schedule, thresholds, and methods

Once you start earning on KICK, you will want to know when you get paid, how much you need to earn before a payout is processed, and how the money actually reaches you. This guide covers all of that.

Payout cadence

KICK pays out earnings on a regular schedule. The cadence depends on whether you are a verified Streamer.

Verified Streamers can choose between:

  • Weekly payouts

  • Monthly payouts

Non-verified Streamers receive monthly payouts only.

The cadence change must be discussed with support team at [email protected]

For more on becoming a verified Streamer, see Verification & KICK Partner Program.

When you receive your payout

Once a payout is initiated by KICK, the time it takes to land in your account depends on your country and chosen payout method.

US Streamers

  • ACH (bank transfer): 2 to 3 business days

  • Instant payout debit card: Minutes (with a $9,000 USD per payout cap)

International Streamers

Processing times vary widely based on your region, since all deposits are initiated from KICK's US-based Stripe account. The usual timeframe is 3 to 7 business days.

Payout methods

KICK uses Stripe to deliver payouts directly to your bank account. To receive payouts, you need to:

  1. Complete Stripe identity verification

  2. Add a valid bank account in a supported country

  3. Confirm your payout currency

By using KICK, you agree to be bound by Stripe's Services Agreement.

💡 All payouts to streamers are made through Stripe.

PayPal is only available as a payment option for subscriptions, covering Mastercard, Visa, and American Express.

Stripe does not currently support payouts to all countries. If Stripe is not available where you live, you will not be able to receive payouts at this time. We are continuing to expand our payment partnerships.

Why a payout might be delayed

A few reasons a payout might not arrive on schedule:

  • Bank account issues — incorrect details, closed accounts, or rejection by your bank

  • Holds or compliance reviews — occasionally a payout may be paused for review (you will be notified by email if this happens)

  • Bank holidays or weekends — payouts initiated near a weekend or public holiday may take longer to settle

If a payout is more than a few business days days late and none of the above seems to apply, contact our Subscriptions Team at [email protected].

Currency and conversion

Earnings on KICK are tracked in USD. If your bank account uses a different currency, Stripe handles the conversion automatically when your payout is processed.

Frequently asked questions

When will I receive my first payout?

Your first payout will be processed once you have:

  1. Completed Stripe verification

  2. Reached the end of the next monthly payout cycle (up to 30 days after end of month)

Can I request an early payout?

KICK does not offer early or on-demand payouts. All payouts follow the standard schedule: monthly payouts. However, in some specific countries, local regulations may require payouts to be processed weekly or daily, depending on the country.

Can I see how much I have earned this month before payout?

Yes. Both your Streamer Dashboard and your Stripe dashboard display your current earnings balance in real time.

What happens if my Stripe account is suspended?

If Stripe suspends your account, payouts will pause until the issue is resolved. You will need to work with Stripe directly to address any verification or compliance issues.

Are there fees on payouts?

Stripe processing fees apply where Stripe charges them. If your bank uses a different currency than USD, Stripe applies a 1.50% currency conversion fee — KICK absorbs this fee, so you receive your full payout converted at real-time rates with no conversion fee deducted.
