Sign Up
Pokes supports signing in with Joystick.tv from the Platforms card on the dashboard. After you connect, tips and subscriptions from Joystick can drive your Lovense toys through Pokes the same way as on other supported sites.
This page focuses on what to expect during Joystick.tv streamer signup, especially the Fixed vs Variable payout plan choice, which is permanent once selected.
Joystick.tv does not let you switch earning plans after you apply. Review the comparison below before you tap Select Plan.

Choose your payout plan
When you apply to stream on Joystick.tv, you pick one of two earning plans. Both plans hold all earnings for 15 days before funds mature and become available for payout.
All funds take 15 days to mature from the time received. For full platform details, see Joystick.tv Streamer Support and their FAQ.
Fixed Plan: ¢5.5 USD per token
Best if you want predictable accounting and simple tip-menu math.
| Token rate | $0.055 per token, every time |
| Subscriptions | Always 80% (including gifted subs) |
| Maturity | 15 days |
Highlights
- Simplify accounting: every tipped token is worth the same amount.
- Guaranteed rate on all tokens tipped.
- Always 80% on your subscriptions.
Variable Plan: ¢3–¢10 USD per token
Best if you want higher upside when viewers buy larger or discounted token packages.
| Token rate | $0.03–$0.10 per token (average around $0.07) |
| Subscriptions | Usually 80%, with exceptions below |
| Maturity | 15 days |
Highlights
- Earn higher rates when tokens were purchased at a higher per-token value.
- Subscriptions average 80%.
Subscription exceptions (Variable plan only)
- Subscriptions purchased with Joystick Wallet funds earn you 100%.
- Subscriptions from affiliated users earn 60%.
- All other subscriptions earn 80%.
Token values can drop when a viewer used a coupon, an affiliate link, or another discount at purchase time.
Which plan should you choose?
| Choose Fixed if you… | Choose Variable if you… |
|---|---|
| Want the same payout for every token | Expect many Super Supporter or full-price token purchases |
| Price tip menus, posts, and locked content in round numbers | Are comfortable with earnings that vary tip to tip |
| Prefer guaranteed 80% on every subscription | Can benefit from 100% subs paid via Joystick Wallet |
| Want the simplest bookkeeping | Accept lower payouts when viewers buy discounted tokens |
Most creators who prioritize predictable tip-menu pricing choose Fixed. Creators whose audience often buys premium token packages sometimes earn more on Variable, but low-discount purchases can pay less than Fixed.
Earnings examples
These examples are illustrative. Actual Variable-plan amounts depend on how each viewer purchased their tokens.
Token tips
| Tokens tipped | Fixed Plan (¢5.5) | Variable Plan (range) | Variable Plan (¢7 avg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | $2.75 | $1.50 – $5.00 | ~$3.50 |
| 100 | $5.50 | $3.00 – $10.00 | ~$7.00 |
| 500 | $27.50 | $15.00 – $50.00 | ~$35.00 |
| 1,000 | $55.00 | $30.00 – $100.00 | ~$70.00 |
On Fixed, a 1,000-token tip goal always equals $55.00 in earnings. On Variable, the same 1,000 tokens might earn as little as $30.00 or as much as $100.00 depending on purchase history.
Subscriptions
Assume you set a $9.99/month subscription price:
| Scenario | Fixed Plan | Variable Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Standard subscriber | $7.99 (80%) | $7.99 (80%) |
| Paid with Joystick Wallet | $7.99 (80%) | $9.99 (100%) |
| User joined via another streamer's affiliate link | $7.99 (80%) | $5.99 (60%) |
On Fixed, subscription share is always 80% regardless of how the viewer paid. On Variable, wallet-funded subs can pay more and affiliate-referred subs can pay less.
A simple stream-night comparison
Suppose you earn 2,000 tokens during a stream and gain 3 new subscribers at $9.99:
| Fixed Plan | Variable Plan (favorable) | Variable Plan (unfavorable) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Token tips (2,000) | $110.00 | ~$140.00 (¢7 avg) | ~$60.00 (¢3 min) |
| 3 × $9.99 subs (80%) | $23.97 | $23.97 | $17.97 (3 × 60% affiliate) |
| Estimated total | $133.97 | ~$163.97 | ~$77.97 |
This is why Variable can outperform Fixed with full-price token buyers, but underperform when tips come from heavily discounted purchases or affiliate-driven subs.
