How to pay clippers per view
Pay-per-view on DareBay works like this: you fund the budget, set the rate per 1000 views, the threshold and the cap, and from there it runs without you. Clippers film, publish and send in their links, and the platform pays each of them for the views they actually got, counted independently of you and of them. The money is locked on the platform from the first second - DareBay holds it as an intermediary and guarantor, so the clipper knows the payout is coming and you pay for exactly the reach you got. Whatever is left of the budget comes back to you in full.
How the payment model works
- You create the contest and lock the budget. Open contest creation on DareBay, choose pay-per-view, write the task for the clippers and pay in the budget. The amount is locked and tied to that contest: you cannot take it back before it ends. That is the guarantee for the clippers - the money is already on the platform, and the organizer cannot change their mind.
- Clippers publish their work and send the links. Creators see your contest in the public feed, take the task, film the content and post the videos with the required hashtag. Each of them then sends DareBay the link to their video, and only then does the work enter the contest.
- Neither you nor the creator counts the views. The number comes from the platform the video was published on (TikTok today). Inflated views do not get through: bot views are not counted, and a submission with bought views loses its payout entirely. For more on the count, see the dedicated page.
- The budget is split by formula. Each clipper gets their share without you lifting a finger: to a wallet, a card, a bank transfer, Telegram Stars or gifts. Whatever is left over goes back to your balance.

Rate, threshold, cap and the formula
Three parameters define the payment model:
- The rate - what you pay per 1000 views. You choose the amount when creating the contest.
- The threshold - the minimum views for a submission to take part in the split. Anything below it costs you nothing.
- The cap - the maximum per submission. One viral video will not take the whole budget.
When a contest ends, the system calculates the payout for each submission:
submission views / 1000 * rate
Submissions below the threshold do not take part. The cap limits the maximum per submission.
Commission
There is no separate charge for creating a contest. The only commission is a percentage of the prize amount: it is paid once, when the contest is created, and it sits on top of the budget. The prize pool goes to the clippers in full, and nothing is withheld from the payouts.
| Parameter | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Commission (card, bank transfer) | 5% of the prize amount | Paid on top of the budget when the contest is created |
| Commission (wallet, USDT on TON) | 8% of the prize amount | Paid on top of the budget when the contest is created |
| Commission (COINS) | 10% of the prize amount | Paid on top of the budget when the contest is created |
| Refund of the remainder | the whole remainder | Whatever is left of the budget goes back to the organizer balance |

Why this works for the buyer
The budget is protected. The money sits on the platform and only leaves for views that actually happened. No views, no spend: it comes back to you.
No negotiating with every creator. One contest instead of ten email threads. The clippers take the task themselves, and the platform does the counting and the paying.
An independent count. The views come from the platform the video is published on. Neither you nor the clippers can nudge that number, so you pay for exactly what the audience watched.
The split runs without you. Every creator gets their share by formula. No spreadsheet, no wiring money to ten people one at a time.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to create a contest?
There is no separate charge for creating one. When the contest is created, a commission on the prize amount is charged: fiat (card, bank transfer) is 5%, wallet (USDT on TON) is 8%, COINS (the internal platform currency) is 10%. The commission is paid on top of the budget, so the prize pool is not reduced. More on the commission in the FAQ section.
What if the clippers do not get the views?
Then you pay nothing. If no submission clears the view threshold, or nobody entered at all, the whole budget goes back to your balance. Locked money is never burned and never stays with the platform.
How does the remainder come back?
It lands on the organizer balance once the contest ends and the payouts are distributed, with no claim to file. Budget $200, paid out $70 - the remaining $130 comes back to you.
Can the rate be changed after the contest is created?
The rate and the threshold are fixed when the contest is created and do not change after that. It is part of the guarantee: the clippers see the terms in advance, and nobody rewrites them afterwards. The cap per submission is the one parameter you can adjust after launch.
How do clippers get the money?
Once the contest ends, the payout reaches every creator without reminders or chasing. The methods: wallet (USDT on TON), bank card, bank transfer, Telegram Stars, Telegram gifts.
Do I have to check the views myself?
No. The views come from the platform the video is published on and land in the calculation without you. Neither you nor the creator has to recount, confirm or argue about the number.
