Payout Requirements
Before requesting a payout, ensure you meet these requirements:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|
| Minimum Balance | £50.00 (may be higher for high-risk accounts pending KYC) |
| Minimum Transactions | 50 transactions (may be higher for high-risk accounts pending KYC) |
| Commission Status | Only “cleared” commissions can be withdrawn |
| Holding Period | 30 days after withdrawal request |
| Account Standing | No outstanding disputes or policy violations |
Understanding Commission Status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|
| Pending | Client has signed up but hasn’t paid yet |
| Held | Payment received, in 30-day verification period |
| Cleared | Available for withdrawal |
| Clawed Back | Reversed due to refund, chargeback, or cancellation |
Why there is a 30-Day Hold?
The holding period protects against fraud and allows time for refunds, chargebacks, or cancellations. This is standard practice in affiliate programs.
