Payment Verification & Withdrawal Rules

Earning & Payment Rules

Fraud Prevention, Program Compliance & Updates

1 Overview
This section defines how Winderk verifies creator identity, validates monetization activity, and processes withdrawals securely.
The goal is to ensure every payout goes to a verified and rightful account holder while protecting the system from misuse, duplicate profiles, or automated fraud.

Earning on Winderk is a privilege granted to verified and compliant users, not an entitlement. This ensures creators who truly contribute to the growth of the community are the ones who benefit financially.

3.2 Minimum Withdrawal Threshold

Winderk enforces a minimum withdrawal threshold of $10 USD (or its equivalent in local currency).
This means users can only request payout once their available balance reaches $10.00 or above after all operational fees are deducted.

If a user’s account balance remains below $10 at month’s end, it automatically carries over into the next month’s cycle.

3.3 Withdrawal Workflow

To ensure clarity, here’s the step-by-step withdrawal process:

1. Reach $10 Threshold:
   Once your verified earnings total $10 or more, a “Withdraw” button becomes active in your dashboard.

2. Initiate Request:
   Users can submit withdrawal requests through the Winderk Monetization Dashboard between the 1st and 10th of each month.

3. Verification Stage:
   Winderk’s system automatically checks:

   • Account ownership.

   • Duplicate or linked accounts.

   • IP and device integrity.

   • Pending community violations.

4. Approval & Processing:
   Approved payments are queued for payout via the selected method:

   • Winderk Wallet → External Account Transfer

   • Crypto Wallet → Blockchain Confirmation

   • Mobile Money or Bank → Regional Gateways

5. Notification & Confirmation:
   Users receive an email confirmation once the transfer has been completed.

3.4 Identity Verification (KYC)

Before any withdrawal is approved, Winderk may require Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, including:

• Valid government-issued ID.

• Selfie verification or face match.

• Country and region confirmation.

• Optional proof of address (for high-value accounts).

All submitted KYC data is securely encrypted and stored in compliance with GDPR and international data protection standards.

Verification helps prevent:

• Duplicate accounts used for multiple payouts.

• Minors misusing the platform.

• Unauthorized withdrawals from fake or automated profiles.

3.5 Fraud Prevention & Detection

Winderk employs both automated systems and manual review to identify abuse in the monetization program.
Activities that may trigger review or suspension include:

• Multiple accounts using the same IP, device, or browser fingerprint.

• Abnormal engagement (e.g., 100 likes from same device cluster).

• View spikes caused by auto-refresh or traffic bots.

• Reuse of identical content across multiple accounts.

When fraud is detected:

• Payments are frozen for that cycle.

• Account monetization is suspended pending review.

• Permanent bans apply to repeat offenders.

3.7 Error & Rejection Reasons

A withdrawal may be delayed or rejected for reasons such as:

• Incorrect payment details (wrong wallet or account number).

• Account still under review or flagged for violations.

• Unverified identity or incomplete KYC.

• Multiple suspicious withdrawals from linked devices.

Rejected withdrawals are re-evaluated in the next cycle once the issue is resolved.

3.8 Local Currency Conversion

Although the monetization system runs in USD, users from different countries will receive payment in their local currencies.
Exchange rates are determined by:

• The prevailing official mid-market rate on the day of payout.

• Conversion fees applied by regional payment processors.

Example:
If a user in Nigeria withdraws $10, and the day’s exchange rate is ₦1,500 per $1, they receive ₦15,000 minus operational deductions.

3.9 Tax and Compliance

Winderk does not automatically deduct tax from user earnings; however:

• Each user is responsible for complying with their local tax laws.

• High-earning users may be asked to submit a tax compliance form before receiving large payouts.

---

 

3.10 Secure Dashboard Overview

Every user’s monetization dashboard includes:

• Total Views & Earnings: Daily and monthly breakdowns.

• Available Balance: Real-time estimate of earnings.

• Payout Requests: Submission and status tracking.

• Verification Tab: KYC upload and verification status.

• Earning History: All previous months’ payouts and deductions.
