Hosts and earnings

Do I need to pay to become a host?
No. A verified account is enough: real photos, at least 18 years old, and face verification.
What is the base salary?
Niki Live pays its hosts a base salary of $5 a day in addition to gifts, under the conditions shown in the app's Host Welfare section.
What can get me suspended?
Fake streams, someone else on camera, several accounts, prohibited content and repeated low-quality streams. Each host has a safety score of 24 points; at 8 points or below, streaming is suspended for 7 days.
Do I need special equipment?
A smartphone and a stable connection are enough. A stand, a good light and a sound card improve your stream and your ranking.
Agencies
What is a Niki Live agency?
An agency, called a guild in the app, recruits and supports hosts and earns 4% to 20% of their earnings, depending on its weekly level from D to SS. See how agencies work.
Is creating an agency free?
Yes. Registration through the agent invitation link is free, and there is no minimum number of hosts to start earning.
How is the commission calculated?
Agency commission = your hosts' earnings × your rate. The rate is set every week by your agency's performance in beans. Full grid on the agency commission page.
How do sub-agents work?
An agent who creates an agency with your invitation link becomes your sub-agent. You earn the difference between your rate and theirs on their team's performance.
How do I register with the right invitation code?
Use the invitation link on this site: it already contains the invitation code 56061. Keep the code in case the app asks for it.
Payments
How are earnings paid?
Income is settled within 3 hours after the end of each day and withdrawn from the app, in cash, through more than a dozen payment methods in more than 100 countries. The methods and the minimum depend on your country. Agency commissions are credited every Monday, in beans, to the guild manager's wallet in the app.
What is the exchange rate?
10,000 beans = $1. Hosts receive at least 70% of the value of every gift.
