How does PlayHouse prevent fraud and money laundering?

Fraud means getting money or something of value by deception. Money laundering means disguising money from crime so it looks legitimate. Both are illegal and banned by our Terms of Service.

How we prevent it

• Verified creators. Creators verify their identity through our verification provider before they're approved.
• Payments stay on PlayHouse. All payments go through PlayHouse. Asking for or offering payment elsewhere breaks our rules. See Off-platform payments.
• Monitoring. Our team uses automated checks and human review to spot suspicious accounts and transactions.

What happens when we find something

We investigate, and while we do, we may:

• suspend the account or the transaction;
• remove content;
• hold the account's earnings, which blocks withdrawals.

If we confirm a breach of our rules or the law, we can remove the account from PlayHouse, and its earnings may be withheld. Where required, we share information with law enforcement. A buyer whose payment is charged back can also have their account suspended.

Protect yourself

• Never pay or get paid outside PlayHouse.
• Never share passwords, sign-in codes or card details with anyone.
• If something looks like a scam, report the account.
