Treat any percentage or cap you read online as possibly outdated.
How referrals generally work
You share a referral link; if a new creator signs up through it, you may earn a percentage of their earnings for a set period, up to a cap.
Details (rate, cap, duration, eligibility) have changed across versions.
Check current terms
Because the program has been revised, confirm the live terms in your OnlyFans account before relying on referral income.
Don't promise others fixed referral earnings — terms can change.
