A standard Paid Skip without affiliate attribution is allocated between the creator and SpinQueue using whole-cent amounts.

- Paid Skip
- $10.00
- Payment processing
- $0.61
- Artist pays at checkout
- $10.61
Example based on a $10.00 Paid Skip with no affiliate attribution. Amounts are calculated in whole cents. Creators keep 90% of the Paid Skip price. Payment processing is charged separately to the Artist. The exact amounts are always shown before payment.
Referral attribution
What if an affiliate referral applies?
When an eligible affiliate attribution applies to a creator account, part of the same Paid Skip amount is allocated to the referring creator. Nothing extra is charged to the person submitting music, and most transactions have no affiliate attribution at all.
- Creator$8.5085%
- Affiliate$0.505%
- SpinQueue$1.0010%
Example based on a $10.00 Paid Skip with an active affiliate attribution. The affiliate allocation applies only while a referral window is active for that creator account.

For artists
Choose how you enter.
$0
Join the creator's standard queue when Free Entry is enabled for that session. Queue placement follows the creator's configured session rules.
Creator-set price
Purchase paid priority through an available creator offer. Paid Skip pricing varies by creator and session, and some sessions accept Paid Skips only.
You're paying for priority.
Not the creator's opinion.
A Paid Skip buys queue priority according to the session's existing queue rules. A paid entry still follows the same rights declaration, AI disclosure, automated screening, session eligibility and moderation rules as any other entry.
A Paid Skip does not buy
- A positive review
- A favorable reaction
- A guaranteed score
- A guaranteed exact review time
- Promotion or endorsement
What about Golden Tickets?
A Golden Ticket is a non-monetary priority entitlement a creator issues directly to an artist. It is not purchased, not transferable, not refundable and has no cash value. Holding one reserves nothing on its own, it can be used once for the creator who issued it, and it never bypasses session state, rights, AI disclosure, screening or moderation rules.
Payment processing
Clear about every fee.
SpinQueue uses Stripe to securely process payments, and Paid Skips are paid into the creator's own connected Stripe account. SpinQueue's 10% platform fee is separate from payment processing.
Creators keep 90% of the Paid Skip price. Payment processing is charged separately to the Artist. The processing amount sits on top of the Paid Skip price and is itemised before payment. It never changes SpinQueue's 10% and never reduces the creator's share.
No mystery math.
