Split / tiered
That is the advertised figure, and the real one is lower. 80% general / 70% adult split; withdrawal, FX and conversion fees cut real take-home. We record that this platform's effective take-home sits below its headline, but not a second percentage — so the number above is what FC2 Contents Market says, not what we can promise you keep.
80% general / 70% adult split; withdrawal, FX and conversion fees cut real take-home.
For context: 30 of the 61 platforms here with a headline share on record advertise the same 80%, so the headline rate separates almost nobody. What does separate them is whether they keep to it — on 33 of 71, the real take-home is below the number advertised. Compare all 71 →
