Pros and cons
Pros
- Payouts can go out by Direct Deposit (ACH), Paper Check and Paxum, covering bank transfer, paper check and a payout wallet.
- US stores can pick a daily payout run with a hold, while Clips4Sale pays on a monthly date for the previous month's sales.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, giving a phone line next to email and a help centre.
- The content policy allows AI and digital content under age-appearance and documentation rules, and bars deepfakes.
- Creators keep 60%, above xLoveCam at 50%.
Cons
- Creator share of 60% sits under the site median of 80%.
- A balance of $25 to $100 has to build up before a payout runs, so smaller balances wait.
- A community forum is not among its support channels, which run on email, phone and help centre.
- The content policy permits adult content but attaches a long list of prohibited categories.

How much has to be in my balance to withdraw?+
A payout needs a balance of $25 to $100 before it can be released. Funds can leave by Direct Deposit (ACH), Paper Check and Paxum, covering bank transfer, paper check and a payout wallet. The site median minimum across the brands compared here is €43.85, so the threshold sits below the middle.
How often are payouts sent?+

In every case the balance has to reach $25 to $100, and the money can go out by Direct Deposit (ACH), Paper Check and Paxum.
Can I post AI or deepfake clips?+
The content policy allows AI and digital content, with rules about how a subject must look in age and what documentation is needed. Deepfakes are not allowed. Adult content is permitted, and a long list of prohibited categories sits alongside it. Signup opens a clip store, so AI clips sit in the same catalogue as filmed ones.
What do I need to sign up?+
A government-issued photo ID is required, and US stores also submit tax paperwork with an SSN or EIN. The company behind the site is Gatsby Enterprises CA LLC, dba IWC International, registered in the US, which is why US tax details sit in the signup flow.
How do I reach support?+

Is iWantClips a subscription site or a clip store?+
iWantClips is a clip store, so the buying model is clip purchases rather than a monthly membership. The earning routes listed are ppv, dms and livestream, which cover paid per view, direct messages and livestream. Creators keep 60% of the clip revenue under that model.
Who does iWantClips suit?+
It suits creators who sell clips and also want paid per view, direct messages and livestream, per ppv, dms and livestream, and who can wait until the balance reaches $25 to $100. Creators chasing a bigger share may prefer CAM4 at 100%, and those wanting a fixed monthly payout date may prefer Clips4Sale.
