With promo posts, you’ll need to be aware of what’s allowed on the platform. While Twitter and Reddit are two platforms that allow adult content, Instagram will not allow it. So be careful when choosing an image for your promo post on platforms where adult content is disallowed.

Another tip to keep in mind is where to post your AnyFans link. You can post it on your profile bio so you can direct your followers to the page.

Why is my camera not working for KYC/ID Verification?

When completing KYC to become a creator, you will need to take a picture of your government-issued ID and a selfie to verify your identity. To do this, you will need to enable camera permissions on your device/browser. Below are links to instructions on how to enable this:

Top Tip : We strongly recommend completing KYC/ID verification on a mobile device, as pass rates are much higher.

If the above information does not help you, please contact us directly using the Speak with support.

Why am I failing KYC/ID verification?
The Most Common Reasons for Failing KYC Verification

To complete KYC and become a creator, you must have a valid, in-date, government-issued international ID.

The most common reasons for failing KYC verification are:

  • Unclear / poor-quality image of ID or selfie. Please ensure the images you upload are clearly readable and not blurry.
  • The image of ID is zoomed too far in or out. Ensure the whole ID is clearly visible.
  • Low light level environment. Take the photo in a well-lit environment, but clear of reflections.
  • ID is out of date. Make sure you upload an up-to-date ID.
  • Device camera is poor quality. If you are using a desktop, webcams can be suboptimal for completing KYC. Try switching to mobile using the QR code displayed when going through KYC to use your phone instead.

TIP : Sometimes devices don't focus properly, causing blur. To combat this, try putting a white piece of paper behind your photo ID, and make sure your selfie is on a plain background.

If you have tried all of the above options and are still struggling with KYC verification, please reach out to our support team via the chatbox on the bottom right of this page.

    Issues with adding a card or making a payment

    When adding a new card to AnyFans, you'll be asked to provide your card and billing details. This information is securely managed by our payment provider and isn't kept on AnyFans itself.

    Common Reasons

    If you are trying to add your card and/or make a payment to a creator but it is failing, It is commonly one of the following reasons:

    • 3DS Checks Failed. Contact your issuer to check if their 3DS system is working correctly, we frequently see issuer's 3DS links are broken. If your issuer doesn't support 3DS verification, try your card once more and it should push through without the 3DS check.
    • AVS Check Failed. Your billing information you have inputed may be incorrect and doesn't match the address registered to the card.
    • Your issuer is rejecting the payment. Check the common reasons in the table below with suggestions on how to fix them.
    • Your Card Details and/or Billing Details were input incorrectly. Frequent Failures report things like "Invalid Card Number", "CVV Number Incorrect" and "Invalid Street". Please double-check the details input are correct.
    • Your card is not supported. Some cards, such as Pre-paid cards, AMEX and Curve, are not currently supported. Please try another card.

    My email is missing the dot!

    If you are a Gmail user, you may notice your email registered against your account is now missing a dot where it would usually be.

    e.g. anyfans.example@gmail.com shows as anyfansexample@gmail.com

    Don't worry, this is expected behaviour

    This is in fact a google related situation as Google doesn't register dots in email addresses. You'll still receive emails as normal.

    Does the website URL start with AnyFans.com?

    If the webpage you're reporting does NOT start with AnyFans.com, then this is not a AnyFans profile page but instead a fake webpage created by someone copying the look of AnyFans. Unfortunately, this means we don't have control over it and aren’t able to take it down ourselves.😔

    I suggest you contact the domain owner support team as they can help you further.

    For example, if it is a wixsite.com web address, here’s a link to report abuse on Wix’s website https://www.wix.com/about/abuse

    Again we’re so sorry this has happened to you and wish you the best with getting it removed ASAP! Is the page using private or public media?

    Any media posted on the internet, not behind a paywall, is classified as public media. This includes all the pictures you post on social media, even if your security settings are private.

    All media used to generate revenue on AnyFans can be removed if the original owner can claim it and the uploading party doesn't have a counterclaim for rights ownership.

    • Fraudulent Activity in Associated Accounts: Suspension may occur if fraudulent behaviour is detected in linked accounts. Accounts may be associated with other accounts by using the same payment information, similar display names/usernames, multiple subscriptions to the same creators, similar email addresses and account activity.
    • ID and Face Picture Mismatch: Submitting false or inconsistent identification documents or face pictures during verification will result in suspension, as well as uploading content that doesn't match the identity of the person who completed verification, without following the co-authored content policy.
    • Non-Compliance with Terms and Conditions: Account suspension can happen for violating platform terms and conditions, such as engaging in illegal activities or hate speech. Familiarize yourself with the rules and abide by them.
