Thank you all for providing additional feedback.
Regarding stolen content, due to the nature of the internet, this unfortunately does happen to many Artists. However, IWC offers free DMCA takedown services to Artists who find their content has been stolen. If this happens to you, simply send us an email at
[email protected] and include direct links to the site with stolen content so we can work towards getting it removed as quickly as possible.
Hi missmms,
To address your issue, please know that if content has successfully been placed within the review queue, then the item status will show as “In Review”. If your item is showing as “Uploading” for an extended period of time then there was most likely a connection issue and this listing is stuck in the “Uploading” status. Content stuck in this status will not be reviewed as it hasn’t been moved over to the review queue. To resolve this issue, please reach out to
[email protected] so we can refresh the listing and get it moved to be reviewed/published.
Hello Victoria_Gray,
We will be more than happy to assist in your closure request, however, we will need you to complete our account closure form first to verify the account ownership. To confirm, we provided you with an account closure form on 11/30/2021 but never received the form back from you. We have since sent you another email with this closure form so we can proceed in completing your closure request. :)
Unfortunately, we are unable to proceed in closing down an account without the verification of the account closure form.
Hi SuperPookie,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding archived content and we would like to kindly clarify this process so there is no confusion. Content is archived based on the release date in which it is first published and visible on IWC and not archived based on the creation date.
For example, if an item is created on 01/01/2021 but scheduled to publish on 12/31/2021 then the release date of 12/31/2021 is what our system will recognize as the published release date and not the 01/01/2021 creation date. The Artist will have 12 months from the 12/31/2021 date to sell the item at least once to prevent the item from being archived.
Please note that even if a content item is published on 01/01/2021 temporarily then placed back into the scheduled status to published at a later date, our system will still take on the 01/01/2021 date as the official release date since it has already been published to our site and public, even if it was just temporary.
If you have further questions regarding this archival process or would like our team to look further into your content items, please send an email to
[email protected] and we can investigate to see when the content items were first published to the site.
Thank you all again for providing your feedback and we wish you all a Happy New Year!
I did & was told that time spent in Draft was counted the same as time when videos are actually available for sale which is ridiculous and if this isn't corrected before my two weeks is up for those videos I will no longer trust iWC even for basic things such as custom videos and tributes. That needs to be fixed immediately and while of course it isn't your fault it is the fault of someone at your company and it not acceptable.

Your store is not active!
In order to make your store active, you must complete steps below:
Your uploaded Profile Photo must be manually reviewed by our Compliance Team
what in the actual mother loving fuck is this? My entire store is now invisible because I changed my profile photo? Who in the fuck decided that was a good idea? Change it AFTER you approve it, don't take my entire store offline to approve the photo. Words cannot express how stupid this is and how angry I am. Everything else I just dealt with, but really? This is a horrible design flaw. If IWC had a face, I'd punch it.

AVN is closed now, no clip sales allowed. Instead you can use Niteflirt, IWantclips, Manyvids and others.
All clip sites require you to be approved. Otherwise how would they tell you are an adult?

so no clips on AVN? Why are people still using their site with no $$?

I forgot IWC isn't accepting new creators, sorry. Hopefully soon.
As far as I know most creators have left AVN now. I left my old stuff up because I don't want to take the time to remove it but nobody can see or buy it because it's locked.
Maybe some are using AVN for advertising but I don't see any of the larger creators uploading. Most have moved to sites like onlyfans, loyalfans, clips4sale etc.

So just conjecture based off of twitter searches but a few things seem to be happening:
1) IWC is only 'dealing with' top models stores for the most part
2) IWC is also focusing on certain high traffic categories; models with content across categories are seeing uneven attention for most content but more responses from other categories uploaded at the same time (jerkoff POV, feet etc)
3) IWC is closed-- it's not open to new models
so the actual 'platform' is way fewer models and less content than it seems externally bc of all the held content and closed stores and it is no longer growing/cannot handle growth nor stabilize its current production levels. Okay.
4) There is virtually no customer support; most inquiries go unnanswered / many models are getting 'please stop contacting us' messages either directly or indirectly from their few 'PSA' posts.
5) None of this has been publicly acknowledged; while they comment here nothing has been said on twitter even though there is PLENTY of discussion there and many people @'ing them w questions.
6) Our content has been untouched nearly 4 months now in some cases
7) Many models have publicly stated they are leaving the platform or at least not uploading anymore.
So there's actually less new content than ever, but they still can't handle this or provide customer support.
Hmmmm. Ok.
However,
8 ) They are still making money.
Interesting. Just a little bit longer, huh... Are they really 'handling' this?

Not the ol' Unprecedented Times!! xD
But on a serious note, I've been doing some research....
...let me just say, do your own research as well and follow your guts on this one girls. I took a look around to see what different models- Top models and not top models- were doing and saying about this so I could better understand what would be a good course of action and a broader picture than just what we were going through here on the forum.
:yikes::yikes::yikes:
It's 'interesting' to say the l e a s t.
There's a rabbit hole.

Thank you everyone for your continued patience throughout this review process as we completely understand any frustrations that may arise from it.
To confirm, iWantClips is not closing down as we plan to continue to be a long-term platform for all Artists within the community. This is the reason why we have chosen to take a more strict approach when it comes to reviewing content as we want to ensure our site remains compliant with current and future Payment Processor compliance changes.
Unfortunately, the review process is taking a bit longer than anticipated, however, we are adapting and continuing to bring on new resources to aid in the review process and hopefully reduce the reviewal wait times across the board.
We anticipate review wait times to decrease as these new resources are implemented and as time goes on.
what in the actual mother loving fuck is this? My entire store is now invisible because I changed my profile photo? Who in the fuck decided that was a good idea? Change it AFTER you approve it, don't take my entire store offline to approve the photo. Words cannot express how stupid this is and how angry I am. Everything else I just dealt with, but really? This is a horrible design flaw. If IWC had a face, I'd punch it.
We sincerely apologize for any frustrations caused by your recent experience with updating your profile photo. Please know that moving forward, updating a profile photo will no longer affect the status of an iWantClips Store as long as the photo is compliant with existing Terms of Service and Mastercard compliance policies.
Regarding new Artists, we have temporarily halted the approval of new Artist accounts while we finish implementing additional updated processes. However, we will absolutely resume this process in the future and we anticipate resuming the approval of new Artist accounts in early 2022.
Again, we understand the impact this is having on the community and are working as quickly as possible to decrease reviewal wait times for content items that are flagged by the AI system and require manual teammate review.
We appreciate your continued patience.

I would say this is 100% accurate from what I see too.
I uploaded ONLY 1 clip on Nov 8 and still crickets. No messages responded to but they have NO issue letting me know I need to edit a clip or one has moved into archive.
After a week of my clip not being published I gave up. Time is money and I don't like mine being wasted or working for a site that I start to question wtf is going on. I use other platforms like c4s, mv and nf. I do however leave my Iwantphone on and upped my rate so if I actually get a call it's worth my time.

To confirm, iWantClips is not closing down as we plan to continue to be a long-term platform for all Artists within the community. .
But do the artists want to platform with YOU? We get paid 60% on our clip sales, lower than every other popular clip site. Then our income takes a humongous hit with the MC changes that didn't affect any other site despite IWC boasting being a top site with top sales/traffic.
With more artists leaving the platform over this and promoting other sites, too, maybe you should bring our 80% cuts back, just a thought. It's not like the ppl at the top will miss the money. Making barely over 50% on a site that's screwing us over like this is pitiful and unappealing.
Two-star activities.
Anyway, instead of being vague after all this and offering more abstract comforts, can you say just what these new 'resources' are?
We do not trust or have faith in IWC right now, IWC does not deserve it after what it's put us through with so little info and the entire situation is rather sketchy. What are these 'new resources'? What changes are you making? Why is our cut so low lol?

BUMP BUMP
What are the new resources? AI? .... I want to know too. What is involved in the process of approval, what raises a redflag to a bot? etc.
By knowing these things we can create more, better content that gets approved faster, make more money
They have proven by responding here and not posting a newsletter or sending a mass email to us that *the squeaky wheel gets the grease* so anybody needing support should spam the heck out of them with emails and tickets over and over until they get their issues resolved, if they want to bother that is

IWC is not approving any new audio clips. Even d ones uploaded in December are not yet published. One of the sub-store is still invisible, which was Audio only files, as only 3 clips are published till date, and rest in review.
I really thought in 2022 IWC would sort this out, but end of January, and NOTHING! Many of my clips are still getting stuck in review for weeks and not yet published.
This is so frustrating! Also this has drastically decreased by income on their website, i dont know what can be done from my side at least to keep the money coming since nothing is in my hands at this point of time! Arghhhh!

Suddenly most of my "in review" clips are re-published, with some rejected, but a bunch are now marked "failed processing". What the heck does that mean? It looks like they decided to throw my whole store through the AI after 3,5 months of nothing happening. They are lying about the queue - the clips are not processed by date, it's either store by store or it's by category. Best selling stores and categories first, obviously.
Apparently pretending to give the viewer an injection is now considered "drug paraphernalia". The scenario does not matter, whether it's a poison executrix fantasy, "truth serum" in interrogation play, or medical fantasy. A clip where I give the viewer a glass of water was also rejected as it COULD be alcohol LOL. The "read the rules" message bugs me every time as so many things are dependent on context and interpretation. Even if one decides to go totally non creative vanilla there still would be innocent elements flagged.
We all agree that the visa/mastercard censorship is something adult sites have to accept for now, but does someone understand why IWC are so much stricter than everyone else, even before all this? As English is not my first language I am not 100% into porn slang. But I really can't see why words like "alien" or "eating" are banned? Or why is Vore category called "consume" so noone finds it? My vore and alien clips are popular on other sites but on IWC they rarely sell at all. I'm totally fine with clip sites having a profile but just be open about not wanting certain content instead of wasting my time?

OMG, the same thing happened to me! I made a custom and after I uploaded it and it was rejected because I was holding a wine glass with water inside- I wasn't even drinking it, just holding and not pretending to be tipsy or something. I had to blur the glass out because it could be filled with alcohol ;D That means we can only drink in mugs now? :P After that problem I rushed to check the clips that are available on the site with the word "drinking" and guess what, I saw clips with wine glasses, clips where you have a jack daniels bottle on display and a girl drinking some brown liquid, I even found clips where girls smoke weed. But I guess that was the stores that earn more money than me, so they don't have to follow these stupid rules.
Either way, after that I am done with them. I will not upload anything there anymore, it was only giving me about 100$ a month (although I had some custom customers there, that gave me some good money like three times in a year but I directed them now to my other platforms). It wasn't worth my time then for that little money, but I still was holding to it since I had my clips pre recorded and I uploaded it to other platforms so I thought why not, even a 100$ is better than nothing...But it's not worth my time for sure now with this rules and problems.

My deleted clip had a REGULAR glass with water lol. Wine glasses are targeted by the AI no matter what is in them. The clip description mentioned "drink" which to me doesn't have to be alcohol, but this is enough to get the clip deleted anyway apparently. I do have a clip up with a syringe in it while the rest got deleted, so apart from some stores obviously getting favors, I also think it's a matter of the AI not being perfect. Some things slip through while others are unfairly deleted. Agreed IWC is not worth the time anymore but I leave my store up for now, have a sale a week or so lol. My fear is other sites will go the same route making every genre I love impossible. I really want to understand.

I thought that the AI tergetted that, so I contacted them about it to talk with a human :P And I talked with them and they still insisted that I need to remove this part of clip since that was a wine glass, which means possible alcohol which is against the rules. So even when I talked with a logical thinking person, and they knew it was water, I still was asked to remove it while on c4s and manyvids the same clip was posted with no problems. That's what was crazy to me, but not that crazy compared to your regular glass of water ;D

And again some are archived at least once a week because they didn;t sell for a year.

Good question. I also wonder if new clips are posted sorted after creation date or publish date. If it's creation date clips that have waited months will be sorted way back even though they are new updates. I can't tell as I have stopped updating. Anyone knows?

Nope. Saw your last post so uploaded 3 clips 24 hours ago. They are still in review. Most of my old clips were re-published recently but a bunch said "failed processing" after that. Went in a week ago and re-submitted these and they changed to "in review" and still are. So, still weird shit going on. I feel like closing my account but need every penny I can get, hate that every online sell site is untrustworthy these days, not only porn.

First, we would like to state that if you ever have any specific questions or require assistance with your account, we encourage you to reach out directly to our Support Team at
[email protected] so we can give direct and immediate attention to your issue or question. There should no longer be any support ticket delays so please feel free to reach out to us at any time so we may assist you.
Additionally, we have been working diligently to constantly improve the uploading and compliance approval processes that iWantClips first implemented on October 15th to comply with the Mastercard guidelines. As such, with new team members added and updates to our AI systems, new upload approval times should be significantly faster with minimal delays before the content goes live on the site. We are still working to get through the remaining legacy items but anticipate to have them completed soon.

Hi AlyssaJ,
There have not been any known issues recently with the geo-blocking feature on iWantClips and we recommend you reach out to our Support Team directly so they may look into your specific account to assist you further.

How long is it taking these days to get a custom clip order approved? Haven't gotten an order in awhile and thought the guy was lying at first when he said he put an order in and it didn't show up. I forgot we can't even see the order until the site approves the subject and script they requested. So frustrating!

I have a customer who wants to order a custom clip, but he wants to use the IWC Tribute option to pay for it, rather than using the custom video form. Is this allowed, or are tributes strictly for non-transactional monetary gifts?
laurielegs
04-25-2022, 12:23 PM
As far as I can tell it's allowed. I see no reason for him to do it though unless he is trying to underpay.
Also if he uses the system he doesn't have to pay until you deliver.
Is he trying to be cheap? I bet he doesn't want to pay for the extras.
Unless you already have outside contact though, you may have an issue delivering his clip. I'm not sure how large a file messaging allows and you can't give them a download link.
SophiaSylvan
04-25-2022, 03:22 PM
IWC has an upcharge of something like 30% on what you charge for customs (to make up for giving you 100% of the sales) so that's probably what he's trying to get around. Under those circumstances I would be surprised if it is allowed but it's probably something people can get away with if they're discrete. Guys are usually too dense to think of that and how to contact us outside of potentially monitored messaging systems

I have a customer who wants to order a custom clip, but he wants to use the IWC Tribute option to pay for it, rather than using the custom video form. Is this allowed, or are tributes strictly for non-transactional monetary gifts?
Hi innocentindian,
Thank you for your question!
We would like to kindly clarify that we never recommend using the Tip/Tribute feature for anything other than accepting a gift with no expectation of providing a service in exchange. Using the Custom Clip ordering feature for accepting Custom Clip orders safeguards both the Artist as well as the customer in case there is ever a discrepancy that needs to be addressed.
Additionally, if the Tip/Tribute feature is used to receive a Custom Clip order, the Artist would not receive 100% of the earnings but instead only receive 80%. Therefore, using the Custom Clip feature not only protects both parties but ensures the Artist receives 100% of the amount they set while the customer pays the service fee.
We hope this was helpful and invite our community to reach out to
[email protected] at anytime as we are always available via email to answer any individualized questions or concerns.
Thank you!

What is this Biometric Data popup? I didn't consent & now it won't let me access my own account. It seems fishy to me all around.

Yikes, looks like they are using facial recognition to make sure the performers in the videos match the ID provided. I can understand why they are doing it, but given the intense privacy violations that such technology makes possible, this feels really unsafe and gross.
Luckily, though I have a IWantClips account, I've never used it for much. And now I'm in no rush to do so.
If anyone is curious, here is the text of the pop up:
While Gatsby Enterprises, Inc. (“Gatsby”) and its affiliates do not process technical or algorithmically-generated data regarding your physical, physiological, or behavioral characteristics that allow your identification, including hand or face geometry, retinal or iris scans, fingerprints, voiceprints, or other biometric identifiers or biometric information about you (collectively, “biometric data”), biometric data is collected from videos that you upload and is processed and stored, in each case by our service provider, AV Tech Global LLC (“AV Tech Global”), for verifying your identity in posted Content Data. AV Tech Global will store and process your biometric data for as long as determined in its agreement with Gatsby, and in accordance with Gatsby’s Privacy Policy, which period will be no longer than the earliest of the date (i) promptly after Gatsby ceases to have a relationship with AV Tech Global, (ii) when the biometric data is no longer needed for the above purposes, or (iii) 6 months after your last interaction with Gatsby.

I received a tax document in the mail from IWC's company today; it was a "corrected" 1099-NEC from 2020 with the compensation box listed as $0.00.
I sent support an email, but was just curious if this happened to anyone else and if you know why?

They should have sent an email and newsletter before just posting the popup. Why are the models always the last to find out about stuff? The communication is so bad. Post a newsletter with a heads up BEFORE make changes. Not an email after the fact

Am I the only person who finds the contests these sites are hosting cringe?
Chances are the winner is almost always going to be a top 100/10 performer, and to those people, the actual prize money being offered is... chump change. I'd charge 5x for a friggin Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship on Youtube, difference being I am not competing with 200 people for my payout, cause that one’s guaranteed. Sure, that's privilege speaking, $1000 is never nothing. But your chances of winning at all are less than assured.
If you really think about it, they are overwhelmingly *anti* creator.
We all go out of our way to create content for their promotional campaign, there's no guaranteed pay-off - nobody's compensating me for making these - and really, from a customer perspective, who tf is really interested in buying a generic "summer" themed clip everybody's dispassionately churning out for this contest?
That's the beautiful thing with these contests. Everybody's doing ""free"" (I know the clips sales are still paid for) work creating these clips for the website, and the site, in turn, needs to invest fuckall. I'm genuinely making this post because I am, frankly, offended at the idea. $1000? Is IWC broke?
