Creator requirements and our contract terms
Short answer: To join you must be 18+, able to go LIVE and receive LIVE Gifts, and able to stream 14 hours per month across 14 days. Joining costs $0, we take 0% of your Diamonds, the agreement runs until you withdraw (no fixed end date), and you can leave with 30 days notice.
Our terms (these are ours, not TikTok's)
| Term | Our number | Why it exists |
|---|---|---|
| Fee to join | $0 | We are paid through TikTok's network incentive programs, not by creators. |
| Share of your Diamonds we take | 0% | Your Rewards are paid by TikTok to you under TikTok's Rewards Policy. |
| Minimum LIVE hours per month | 14 hours | Coaching needs enough streams to review. |
| Minimum streaming days per month | 14 | Consistency is one of the factors TikTok lists for Rewards. |
| Minimum length per stream | 1 hour | Short streams rarely produce useful data. |
| Agreement length | until you withdraw (no fixed end date) | No fixed term. You stay only as long as you want to. |
| Notice to leave | 30 days | Written in the agreement. See how leaving works. |
| Exclusivity | One TikTok LIVE network at a time | If you want to join another network, tell us and leave ours first. No fines, ever. Tell us if you are already linked to a network. |
| TikTok Shop selling required? | No | Our agreement covers LIVE only. |
We send you the full creator agreement in writing before you accept any invitation. Every number in it matches the table above. Read it first.

What TikTok does not publish (so we will not quote a number)
- A fixed follower count to unlock LIVE. Check LIVE access in your own app.
- What share of gift value becomes Diamonds, or a “platform fee” percentage.
- Any network-level revenue share or notice period. Those are each network's contract terms — including ours above.
- Whether there is a waiting period before you can join another network. We have not found an official TikTok page that says either way, so check your own agreement and the notices TikTok shows you in the app.
- A minimum payout balance. TikTok says only that “Minimum and maximum Reward Payment limits may apply, along with transaction fees.” Source: TikTok — Rewards Policy (United States), page dated 2026-01-22, accessed 2026-09-17.
If another site states one of these as a TikTok rule with no link to a TikTok page, ask where the number came from.
