Transparent Royalty Payouts

Simple, transparent payout policies designed to get your earnings to you quickly and reliably. Monthly payments when you reach our minimum threshold.

Monthly Payout Schedule

Royalties are processed and paid out every month between the 1st and 15th, making it easy to track and plan your earnings.

Monthly Processing

Royalty payments are processed once per month. Earnings accumulate throughout the month and are calculated based on streaming data from each platform.

Timely Delivery

Once your account reaches the minimum payout threshold of $100 USD, payments are processed and transferred to your account within 5-10 business days.

$100 USD Minimum Payout Threshold

We've set a minimum threshold to ensure payout processing is efficient for everyone while keeping transaction fees low.

$100

Minimum Threshold

Your account must reach $100 USD in earned royalties before a payout is triggered.

Scheduled Monthly Processing

Payouts are processed between the 1st and 15th of each month. Once you reach $100, your payment is processed in the next scheduled payout cycle.

🔄

Rollover Earnings

If you don't reach $100 in a given month, your earnings roll over to the next month and continue accumulating.

Example: If you earn $45 in Month 1 and $60 in Month 2, you'll receive a $105 payout in Month 2. Your next payout cycle starts fresh with $0 after the payout is completed.

Payout Rollover Rules

1 Monthly Reset After Payout

After a successful payout is processed, your account balance resets to $0 for the next month. Any earnings from the next period will start fresh in the new cycle.

2 Automatic Rollover to Next Cycle

Balances below the $100 threshold automatically roll over to the next payout cycle with zero action needed from you. Your earnings accumulate month after month until the threshold is reached. If you earn $45 in Month 1, that $45 automatically rolls to Month 2, adding to any new earnings in Month 3 and beyond.

3 No Expiration on Earnings

Your accumulated earnings never expire. Whether it takes 2 months, 6 months, or longer to reach the $100 threshold, your earnings remain in your account and will be paid out when the threshold is reached.

4 Real-Time Earnings Tracking

You can monitor your earnings in real-time on your artist dashboard. See how close you are to your next payout, track earnings by platform, and plan your releases strategically.

Fraud Review & Artist Protection

Automated Fraud Detection

Wreemongar Music Distribution uses advanced monitoring to detect suspicious activity. Our systems analyze streaming patterns, engagement metrics, and payment histories to protect artists and platforms from fraud.

  • • Detection of artificial streams and bot activity
  • • Monitoring for unusual account behavior
  • • Analysis of audience engagement authenticity
  • • Verification against platform fraud reports

Payout Holds & Reviews

If suspicious activity is detected, we may place a temporary hold on a payout while we conduct an investigation. This typically takes 5-10 business days.

During this period, you'll be notified of the hold and informed of the reason. We'll contact you with any additional information we may need to resolve the investigation.

Your Rights

You have the right to dispute any fraud allegation. We encourage you to respond promptly to any inquiry with documentation or evidence supporting the legitimacy of your activity.

Appeals are reviewed carefully, and legitimate artists will never be denied payment. Our fraud review process exists to protect everyone in the Wreemongar Music Distribution community.

Transparent Process

We believe in transparency. You'll always know the status of your payout and the reason for any holds or reviews. Our goal is to process your payments quickly while maintaining a fair and trustworthy platform for all artists.

🛑 Payout Withholding Rights

Wreemongar Music Distribution reserves the right to delay or withhold payouts in the following circumstances:

  • Fraudulent Streaming Activity: Evidence of artificial streams, bot activity, or manipulation of streaming metrics
  • Copyright Disputes: Alleged copyright infringement, ownership disputes, or takedown notices from rights holders
  • Policy Violations: Violations of Wreemongar Music Distribution's Terms of Service, including but not limited to abuse, harassment, or illegal content distribution
  • Legal Obligations: Court orders, regulatory investigations, or compliance with law enforcement requests

Payouts may be withheld pending investigation and resolution of these matters. Fees and royalties earned remain credited to your account, but payout processing will be suspended until the matter is resolved to our satisfaction.

Verification Required Before Payouts

Valid payment and tax information must be submitted and verified before payouts can be issued. This is a mandatory requirement that applies to all Wreemongar Music Distribution artists.

  • • W-9 form (United States)
  • • Tax ID or VAT number (EU/International)
  • • Country-specific tax forms
  • • Proof of business registration (for labels/entities)

Before your first payout, you'll need to verify your identity and bank account information. This is a standard requirement for all digital platforms and helps:

  • • Prevent fraud and money laundering
  • • Comply with international payment regulations
  • • Ensure payments reach the correct recipient
  • • Protect your account security

💳 Bank Account Requirements

The bank account used for payouts must:

  • • Understanding deductions available to independent musicians
  • • Filing required tax returns in your jurisdiction

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive my first payout?

Your first payout will be processed once your account reaches the $100 USD minimum threshold. The timeline depends on your music's performance. For most artists, this takes 2-6 months depending on streaming volume. Payouts are processed between the 1st and 15th of each month, and funds are transferred within 5-10 business days after processing.

Can I request a payout before reaching $100?

The $100 minimum threshold applies to all artists. This ensures we can process payouts efficiently while keeping fees low. However, you can monitor your progress toward the threshold in real-time on your artist dashboard and plan your releases to maximize earnings.

Are there fees taken from my payout?

Wreemongar Music Distribution does not take a commission on royalty payouts. However, your payment provider (Wise or PayPal) may charge small processing or currency conversion fees depending on your location and payout method. These fees are disclosed before you confirm the payout. We recommend Wise for international transfers due to their competitive rates.

How often can I change my payout method?

You can update your payout method anytime from your account settings. Changes take effect on the next scheduled payout. If you change your method after a payout has been initiated, the change will apply to future payouts, not the current one in progress.

What happens if my payout fails?

If a payout fails due to incorrect banking information or account issues, we'll notify you immediately. The funds remain in your Wreemongar Music Distribution account and will be automatically retried in the next payout cycle. You'll need to update your banking details or choose an alternative payout method to resolve the issue.

Can I see a detailed breakdown of my earnings by platform?

Absolutely! Your artist dashboard provides detailed royalty analytics showing earnings broken down by platform, geography, track, and time period. You can export reports and see exactly where your income is coming from to inform your marketing and release strategy.

Do royalties from different streams count toward the same $100 threshold?

Yes! All royalties from all sources—streaming, downloads, publishing, and other income—count toward your $100 payout threshold. Your total account balance combines earnings from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, publishing royalties, and any other revenue sources within Wreemongar.

Do balances below $100 automatically roll over to the next month?

Yes, absolutely! Balances below the $100 payout threshold automatically roll over to the next payout cycle with zero action needed from you. You don't need to do anything—your earnings just keep accumulating month after month until you reach $100 and receive your payout. There's no risk of losing earnings, and no expiration date on accumulated balances.

When exactly are payouts processed each month?

Payouts are processed between the 1st and 15th of each month. Once your account meets the $100 threshold, your payout is processed during the next scheduled payout window. Funds are then transferred to your designated bank account or payment method within 5-10 business days after processing.
