How do I become a creator?

Anyone 18 or older can apply to be a creator. You keep 85% of what you earn; PlayHouse charges a 15% platform fee. See How much of my earnings do I keep?

If you're new to PlayHouse

  1. Go to playhouse.fans/creators/join.
  2. Enter your email and choose Continue with email.
  3. Enter the 6-digit code we email you and choose Continue. Your account is created.
  4. Carry on with the creator details below.

If you already have a fan account

Sign in with the same email, open Profile, then choose Become a creator under For creators. You can also go straight to playhouse.fans/creators/join while signed in. Your fan account becomes a creator account, so you keep your subscriptions and purchases.

Add your details

You'll be asked for:

  • a Profile photo (no nudity);
  • a Username: 3 to 20 letters, numbers or underscores. It becomes your page address, playhouse.fans/yourname;
  • your First name and Last name, as they appear on your ID;
  • your Date of birth; and
  • your Mobile number.

Then choose Continue. Fans don't see your legal name. They see the display name you choose next.

Verify your identity

Next comes a one-time identity check, done in your browser with our identity verification provider. You'll photograph your ID and take a short selfie so we can match the two; we also run standard sanctions screening.

  1. Choose Verify now.
  2. Have your photo ID ready and follow the prompts. Keep the page open until you're done.

While the check runs, build your profile: add a display name, bio and photo, then choose Save profile.

  • Checking your verification: your result usually arrives within a few minutes. Refresh the page to see it.
  • Verification in review: we're looking at it and will email you when it's done.
  • Verification wasn't approved: check that your ID is valid and clearly visible, then choose Try again. See How do I get verified as a creator?

Creator approval is automated once your check passes. Fans can subscribe as soon as you're verified. You add your bank details later, when you make your first withdrawal.
