How going live on OnlyFans works in general
On OnlyFans, a creator starts a stream from their account and fans who follow or subscribe can watch. Fans can send tips while it runs, and the creator can talk to the chat. OnlyFans has no discovery feed or creator search inside the platform, so a live is mostly a way to serve fans you already have.
That is fine for creators with a large audience elsewhere. For anyone still building one, the live often plays to a small room. Features and rules on any platform can change, so check their current help pages for details.
How lives work on OmgFans
You choose who can enter and how they pay. Every option keeps the same flat 20% platform fee, so you keep 80% of ticket sales and tips.
| Setting | What it means |
|---|---|
| Paid ticket | You set a price. Fans buy one ticket for that show, as a single purchase |
| Open to followers | Anyone who follows you for free can watch, and tips are your income |
| Open to subscribers | Included for fans with an active subscription to you |
| Tips during the show | Any viewer can tip at any point while you are live |
Mix them across the week. A free-to-followers Q and A brings new people in, and a ticketed workshop or watch party earns from the fans who want more. For a step by step plan, read going live for paying fans.
The LIVE badge and reminders
When you start a show, your profile shows a LIVE badge in the feed. Fans scrolling Trending, Rising, Nearby or a category can see it and tap in, even if they do not follow you yet. Your followers also get a reminder so they do not miss the start.
- Schedule a show and followers are reminded before it begins
- Non-followers find you through the badge in the feed
- Ticketed shows show the price before anyone pays
- After the show, new viewers can follow you for free and stay in touch
Moderation during a live
You stay in control of the room. You can remove a viewer from the chat, and every live, profile and message has a one-click report button. The same rules apply as everywhere on OmgFans: everyone must be 18 or older, every creator is verified, and anyone appearing with you must be verified and give consent. SFW lives appear only in SFW feeds. Read the details on our safety page.
How fans join a live
- Find a show through the LIVE badge in the feed or a reminder from a creator you follow.
- Sign up in two quick steps if you have not yet (email and password, then a 6 digit code).
- If the show is open to followers, follow for free and watch. If it is for subscribers, subscribe at the creator's price.
- If the show is ticketed, buy one ticket by card or crypto. It is a single purchase for that show, with no wallet, balance or top-ups.
- Send tips during the show if you like.
Your bank statement shows a discreet, neutral descriptor, with no creator name.

Questions about live streams on OmgFans
Can people who do not follow me find my live?
Yes. While you are live, a LIVE badge appears in the feed, so fans browsing Trending, Rising, Nearby or your category can see it and join.
How much do I keep from tickets and tips?
You keep 80%. The flat 20% platform fee applies to tickets and tips the same way it applies to every fan payment.
Does a live ticket renew like a subscription?
No. A ticket is one purchase for one show. It does not renew and it does not create a balance or credits.
Can I make a live free for my followers?
Yes. You can open a show to followers, to subscribers, or sell paid tickets. Tips work in all three.
What happens if someone breaks the rules during my live?
You can remove them from the chat and report them with one click. Reports are reviewed, and accounts that break the rules are removed.
Do I need a plan to go live?
No. Lives, tickets and tips work without a plan. Plans add growth tools like scheduling, a fan CRM and discovery boosts.
