App cut is taken at the time of purchase not at time of donation or withdrawal. So on iOS it costs 30% more to buy a coin precisely because they give a cut to Apple. But once the coin is in the system, the cut has been paid and gifts do not have an additional 30% cut.
- qjx 4y agoAlso people compare this to twitch, but for twitch's own gifting system(Bits), streamers get 100% of the bits when they cash out. the 50/50 split for the subscriptions(when a viewer subscribe to a streamer - 3 tiers, the cheapest being $4.99)
- jasonlotito 4y agoYou don't buy bits 1 for 1. You pay a premium for bits. if someone spends $100 on bits and sends them all to someone, you don't get $100 in bits. The default ratio is $1.40 for 100 bits. And the 50/50 split for subs is only on the web. In the app, it's not a 50/50 split as the subs cost more. Yes, the streamer gets 100% of the bits, but it's not equal to the $$ amount.
