Frequently Asked Questions

Diamonds are the virtual currency of FanSpark.tv. You purchase them with real money and then use them to fund video ideas for your favorite creators. It's a simple way to show support, influence the content you love, or even commission a custom video directly from your favorite creator.

No! That’s the power of FanSpark. You can propose a great idea, pledge just a small amount (like 100 Diamonds) to start it off, and then other fans can chip in to help reach the goal. It’s a community effort.

Creators often set up special "Tiers" for top supporters (e.g., "Top 3 Donors get a Shout-out"). It’s a leaderboard based competition. These rewards are awarded to the fans who have pledged the highest amounts when the project is fully funded. If you want the reward, you need to secure your spot!

Think of your contribution as a non-refundable pledge or a tip to encourage the creation of new content. Once you purchase Diamonds, the transaction is final. However, Diamonds pledged to projects that get canceled are automatically returned to your platform wallet.

Creators have full creative control and are not obligated to accept every proposal. If a creator officially cancels a fully funded project before starting production, the Diamonds pledged by all fans will be returned to their FanSpark.tv accounts to be used on other exciting projects.

The best part! Videos funded on FanSpark.tv are not hidden behind a paywall. You can watch the final result directly here on the project page (we'll notify you the moment it's ready!). Simultaneously, it is published on the creator’s main public channel (like YouTube, TikTok, or Twitch) for the entire community to enjoy.

Yes, your support is flexible, but there is a cut-off point. Before a project reaches its Main Goal, you can withdraw your pledge at any time using a button "withdraw" on the project page. Your Diamonds will be returned to your wallet instantly.

Important: Once the Main Goal is reached, the funds are locked so the Creator can review and accept the project (even if Bonus Goals are still active). However, if a creator declines the project or fails to deliver the video within the time limits, all supporters will automatically get their Diamonds back.

If all supporters withdraw their pledges from a video idea and its funding drops to zero, the idea is automatically canceled and removed from the active projects list. This keeps the platform focused on ideas that have active community support.

To start earning on FanSpark.tv, you need to meet these requirements:

1. You are at least 13 years old.
2. If you are under 18, your account must be created and legally managed by a parent or legal guardian. This guardian must agree to our terms on your behalf and will be responsible for all financial matters, including payouts.
3. You securely connect your YouTube, Twitch, or TikTok channel, which verifies you as the owner.
4. Your connected channel meets our minimum follower requirements.

• Double Monetization (~170% Income): This is the game changer. You keep 100% of your ad revenue from YouTube/Twitch/TikTok (we never touch that). On top of that, you receive 70% of the FanSpark funding. You are effectively stacking two income streams for a single video.
• Zero Risk Production: Stop gambling with the algorithm. On major platforms, you never know exactly how much a video will earn until it's published. On FanSpark, you secure the budget upfront. You know the precise payout before you invest a single minute in filming or editing.
• No Double Work or Paywalls: Subscription platforms often force you to juggle two jobs: creating exclusive content for paying members plus public content to grow your channel. We eliminate this split. You focus on one high-quality video that is funded by fans but published publicly on your main channel.

After you successfully publish your funded video, the earnings are transferred to your Red Diamonds Payout Wallet. From there, you can request a direct withdrawal to your bank account as soon as your balance reaches the minimum payout threshold of €100.

Yes, absolutely! This is one of the best ways to use FanSpark.tv. You can propose your own video idea, set your own funding goal, and even add rewards.

Just keep in mind that launching any new proposal requires a minimum initial pledge of 100 Diamonds to get started.

Anything you like! It can be digital (a shout-out in the video, your name in the credits, a private Discord role) or physical (signed merch, a personal letter). We recommend starting with digital rewards – they are easier to deliver and fans love being recognized in the video!

The Community Verification Period is a crucial step that builds trust between you and your supporters. It starts automatically after you submit the link to your finished video. During this time, your fans who pledged to the project have a chance to watch the video and confirm everything is in order.

The duration depends on your project:

• Standard Period (3 Days): For projects without special rewards for top supporters, the period lasts 3 days.
• Extended Period (30 Days): For projects that include any defined reward tiers for top supporters (whether it’s a digital reward like a "shout-out" or a physical item like signed merchandise), the period is extended to 30 days. This provides a reasonable timeframe to coordinate all types of rewards and for fans to confirm they have received them.

You don't have to wait the full 30 days! Each eligible fan will have a button to confirm they've received their reward on the finished project page. As soon as the last eligible fan confirms their reward, the verification period ends immediately, and the funds are transferred to your Payout Wallet.

Once a video idea is fully funded, we have clear timelines. You have 7 days to decide whether to accept or decline the proposal. After you accept it, you have a full 30 days to create and publish the video.

It's crucial to meet these deadlines. If you fail to accept a project within 7 days, or fail to submit the finished video within 30 days of accepting it, the project will be automatically canceled and all pledged Diamonds will be refunded to your supporters.

Absolutely not. You have 100% creative control. You can review any funded proposal and decide whether to accept or cancel it. If you cancel a project, the Diamonds are simply returned to the fans' accounts. We want you to create content you are passionate about.
