What these platforms actually pay, with the receipts

Fees, payout minimums and waiting times, pulled from the company's own pages and dated. If a number here isn't sourced, it doesn't go up.

What you must reach before each of these will pay you

The lowest published threshold on each platform we cover, with the method it belongs to. Every figure is that company's own, read off its own page on the date shown there. Nothing is converted between currencies: where a company publishes one number for both, it prints as EUR/USD.
