# The payout hold

Each day's earnings wait 15 days before they can be paid, so fake views and disputes can be caught. The hold rolls day by day; it does not start over. Earnings under a dispute or check wait until it is resolved.

## How the hold works

- Earnings for each day become **payable 15 days later**. For example, earnings from views verified on the 1st are released about 15 days after the 1st.
- The hold is **rolling**: every day some earlier earnings are released while new ones start their hold.
- A brand can set a longer hold for its campaign, up to 30 days. The campaign page shows it.

## Why there is a hold

It gives time to catch bought views and to settle disputes before money leaves. It protects the honest creators who are paid from the same budgets.

## Frozen earnings

If a brand disputes a reel or our team is checking it, that reel's earnings still in hold are **frozen** until the matter is resolved. If it is resolved in your favour, they continue as normal. See [Disagreeing with a decision](/help/disagreeing-with-a-decision).

## Where to see it

**Earnings** shows how much is in hold, and for each reel the date the next amount is released. See [Your Earnings page](/help/earnings-page).
