Request a crypto payout

tease.bot pays creators in crypto, direct to your wallet. There is no fiat option, no Stripe, no bank rails. The reasons live in the economics explainer and the payout hold explainer.

What you need

  • A crypto wallet that supports USDT or USDC on a major chain (TRC20, ERC20, BEP20, or Solana)
  • The wallet’s receive address for the network you want to use

If you do not have a crypto wallet yet, use a major exchange’s free wallet (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, OKX) or a self-custody wallet (Trust Wallet, Phantom, MetaMask). Choosing one is a personal decision; tease.bot does not recommend a specific provider.

Step 1 — Add your wallet

Open Settings → Payouts. Click Add wallet.

Fill in:

  • Network (TRC20 / ERC20 / BEP20 / Solana). Pick the one your wallet uses for the currency you want.
  • Currency (USDT or USDC).
  • Address. Paste the receive address from your wallet. Double-check the first and last four characters match what you copied. Crypto sends to the wrong address are unrecoverable.

Save. The wallet now appears in your Payouts page.

You can save multiple wallets and pick which one each payout goes to.

Step 2 — Understand the three balances

The Payouts page shows three numbers:

  • Available now: the part of your revenue that has cleared the 21-day Telegram hold and the manual review. This is what you can withdraw today.
  • Pending hold: revenue that has earned but is still inside the 21-day Telegram settlement window. It releases on a rolling basis as each batch of Stars settles.
  • Paid (last 30 days): a running total of what has gone out to your wallets in the past month.

The release timeline visualises the next 21 days: amber bars are days where money is still locked, green bars are days where money is releasing.

Step 3 — Request a payout

Click Request payout. Pick:

  • Amount: any value from 0.01 up to your Available now balance.
  • Wallet: which of your saved wallets to send to.

Confirm. The request enters the queue.

Step 4 — Manual review (24 to 48 hours)

Every payout passes through a fast manual review before sending. This is a fraud and dispute check, not a moderation check. Reviews usually take a few hours, occasionally up to 48.

You can see the request status in Payouts → History:

  • Queued: in the review queue
  • Approved: review done, sending in the next batch
  • Sent: gone to the blockchain. The transaction hash is in the entry.
  • Held: the review flagged something. You receive a message in the dashboard explaining why and what to do.

Step 5 — Funds arrive

Once Sent, the funds usually arrive in your wallet within minutes (Solana, TRC20) or up to 30 minutes (ERC20 during congestion). Network gas fees are deducted from the amount sent. The Payouts entry shows the gross amount, the network fee, and the net you actually receive.

Common questions

Can I request a payout for less than 1 dollar? Yes, as long as Available now covers it. There is no minimum.

Can I cancel a queued payout? Yes, while it is Queued. Once Approved, it is on the way and cannot be cancelled.

What if my wallet is wrong? If a request has not yet been Sent, edit it in History. If it has already been sent, the funds went to the address you provided. We cannot recover them. Always double-check the address before saving.

What about taxes? Whatever your jurisdiction requires, that is on you. tease.bot reports nothing to any tax authority on your behalf and does not withhold. Treat your earnings as self-employment income unless your accountant tells you otherwise.
