Why these ten questions
They were not picked in a meeting. Twenty articles on this site each end with a short list of things to check before you sign up, written one at a time while reading the company's own pages. Counting those forty-five items afterwards produced a ranking: country and eligibility appeared in nineteen, waiting time in fifteen, what you are actually paid in in fifteen. The payout minimum, the figure most people search for, appeared in almost none of them, because every article had already treated it as given.
So the minimum is one row of ten here. The rows that decide more often are the ones nobody puts in a comparison table: whether your country is on the second list as well as the first, whether the balance survives a quiet month, and whether there is a second way to get paid when the first one fails.
The bars are three counts, never a score. Green is published, red is asked for and not published, grey is not checked yet. They are deliberately not added up: a single number would have to decide that these ten questions weigh the same for everyone, and they do not. Someone who needs cash and someone who will take a gift card are asking different questions.
That is also why the table sorts but does not rank. Click a column and the platforms reorder by that one figure, because you are the one who knows which figure decides it for you. Cells reading no single figure are not gaps in our research: the company published an answer, and the answer is not a number. Nineteen of the twenty published payout fees are a table of charges per method, so a column that forced them into one number would be inventing the number.
