Cash-out rules

The cash-out program is intended to reward genuine creative work and authentic community support. Any attempt to abuse, manipulate, or circumvent the tipping or cash-out system, including conduct designed to artificially generate withdrawable earnings, is strictly prohibited. Flick reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to investigate suspected abuse, withhold or deny payouts, void affected earnings, suspend or permanently revoke cash-out privileges, and suspend or terminate accounts that engage in such conduct.

How to cash out

1. Reach $20 cashable. Open Creator Studio from your account menu to check your balance. Withdrawals open at $20.00.

   

2. Add payout details. Enter a PayPal email or other payout details, such as bank details, Wise, or Revolut. You can update these in Account settings > Getting paid. Only you and Flick can see them.
3. Request the withdrawal. Click Request withdrawal to withdraw your full cashable balance. The credits are held during review, and you receive a confirmation email. You can have one pending request at a time.
4. Wait for review. The Flick team usually reviews payouts within 3 days. Flick pays $1 for every 250 credits and charges no payout fee. Your payout provider may charge its own fees.
5. Check the status. Creator Studio shows your payout history. If a request is declined, it shows the reason and returns all held credits to your balance.

Your payout destination is fixed when you submit the request. Later changes apply only to future requests.

Cash-Out Rules

These rules apply to every cash-out. For how tipping works, see Tipping a film.

Who can cash out

• Your cashable balance has reached $20.00 (250 credits = $1).
• Your account is in good standing and has at least one film published on Flick.
• Your payout details are on file, and you have no other request in review.
• We may ask you to verify your identity before your first payout, or for larger amounts.

What earnings can become cash

Cash-outs are funded by genuine support:

• Tips funded by purchased credits are eligible for cash out.
• Tips funded by free or promotional credits (signup bonuses, weekly credits, referral and event grants) support your work and can be spent on generating, but they may not be eligible for cash out.
• Recent tips may be held for a short period before they become withdrawable, to allow for payment disputes.

Every payout is reviewed

The Flick team reviews each withdrawal request, usually within 3 days. During review we may hold a payout, ask you for more information, or decline the request. If a request is declined, the reason appears in Creator Studio and every held credit returns to your balance.

Fair play

The following void the earnings involved and can lead to declined payouts, loss of the cash-out feature, or account termination:

• Tipping yourself through other accounts, or arranging reciprocal tips between accounts.
• Paying, rewarding, or otherwise coordinating people to tip you.
• Tips from farmed, automated, or otherwise inauthentic accounts.
• Tips funded by fraudulent payments. If a tipper’s payment is later refunded or disputed, the corresponding earnings are removed, even if a cash-out was already requested.

Earnings are not voided because a film is simple. They are voided for inauthentic support.

Changes and final say

These rules may be updated as Flick evolves; meaningful changes will be announced. All determinations regarding tip authenticity, cash-out eligibility, payout amounts, and violations of these rules are made by Flick at its sole discretion and are final. Flick reserves the right of final interpretation of these rules to the fullest extent permitted by law.

FAQ

Why did my cashable balance go down without a payout? Generation uses tipped credits after your other credits run out. A spent credit cannot also be cashed out.

Is there a fee when I cash out? No. The conversion is exactly 250 credits to $1, and the amount we send equals the amount requested. Your payout provider (for example PayPal) may apply its own receiving fees, which are outside Flick.

Can I withdraw part of my balance? Not currently. A withdrawal always takes your full cashable balance at that moment. Tips that arrive while a request is pending stay in your balance for the next one.

Where do I change my payout details? Open Account settings > Getting paid, or click Change in the withdrawal dialog. Only you and Flick can see these details.
