  • Do I only get paid if I get a 5-star rating?

    After you’ve submitted your deliverable, the assignment owner will evaluate it based on a 1 to 5-star rating. Once they’ve rated your deliverable, you will be paid based on that rating.

  • How long does it take for my money to be paid out?

choose between instant payout (at a cost of 3,5%) or standard payout (free of charge).
