Chaturbate FAQ
Quick answers about Chaturbate's verification rules, Supporter perks, token pricing, and broadcaster onboarding.
Verification & compliance
- I dismissed the new verification prompt. Where do I finish it?
- Visit chaturbate.com/identity while signed in, tick the consent box, and resubmit your ID plus live selfie through the Incode portal. The email titled 'Chaturbate Age Verification Warning' also contains a direct link if you closed the banner.
- Which regions demand ID today?
- Age gates are now enforced in Texas, Louisiana, Utah, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, and several neighboring states. The UK joins on July 25, 2025 with an Ofcom-backed mandate, so UK viewers must complete verification or connect from a compliant location.
- Is it legal to use a VPN to bypass verification?
- Privacy tools are lawful for adults in most jurisdictions, but bypassing a statutory age gate may violate local rules or Chaturbate's terms. Minors using VPNs or proxies to evade the check remain absolutely illegal.
Viewer experience
- Why do guest accounts get kicked so fast?
- Most rooms auto-mute or auto-ban anonymous viewers to curb spam. Create a free account, verify your email, or upgrade to Supporter status so the room whitelist keeps you inside.
- What does the Supporter plan include?
- At $19.95/month you remove house ads, unlock animated room headers, send unlimited private messages, customize chat fonts, and receive a 200-token stipend each billing cycle-effectively reducing your token cost if you tip often.
- How much do tokens cost right now?
- Token bundles range from 50 tokens for $5.99 (~$0.12/token) up to 550 tokens for $49.99 (~$0.09/token). Use them for Tip goals, spy sessions, fan-club buys, or private shows.
- Is there a native mobile app?
- No App Store or Play Store builds exist due to adult-content policies.
Broadcasting & payouts
- What documents do new broadcasters submit?
- Choose a stage name, provide tax details, upload a current government ID (passport, licence, resident card, or visa), and complete a biometric selfie through Incode or Yoti. Every guest performer sharing your cam must pass the same check.
- How long does approval take?
- Most accounts clear within 24 hours on business days. If nothing arrives after two days, revisit chaturbate.com/identity to ensure the upload is marked complete, then open a ticket with screenshots.
- Should I use a separate email for broadcasting?
- Yes-keep a dedicated burner inbox for support tickets, payout notices, and compliance requests. Pair it with a password manager and 2-Step Verification to stop token theft.
- Why was my ID rejected?
- Blurry photos, expired IDs, or mismatched biometrics trigger fast denials. Reshoot in natural light, remove filters, and verify the document still shows your current appearance.
Quick fixes when the site misbehaves
- Clear cookies/cache, then relaunch the room in a second browser profile.
- Disable aggressive ad blockers or antivirus 'safe browsing' shields and reload.
- If the player still fails, connect through a VPN endpoint in a porn-friendly state (Netherlands, California, Mexico) and retry.
- Payment declined? Switch processors-Chaturbate supports Paxum, PayPal, prepaid cards, and crypto rails.
- For ban appeals, file a ticket at support.chaturbate.com with timestamps, token receipts, and the verification confirmation email.
