The refund rules
May be refunded
- Complaints made within 48 hours
- A technical failure on Stripchat’s side
- A private show that is provably unsatisfactory, at Stripchat’s discretion
- Paid content that fails through no fault of yours
Not refunded
- Tips (unless there was a clear agreement on amount and request)
- Spy shows
- Private shows longer than five minutes (no full refund)
- Problems caused by your own connection or device
- Arrangements or shows outside the site
- Unused tokens if your account is closed for breaking the rules
The detailed refund policy we cite is an archived copy from 2023; the terms in force in May 2026 confirm the basics: tips and spy shows are never refunded, and refunds for technical failures or unsatisfactory private shows are discretionary. Refunds are never more than the amount disputed.
How to ask for a refund
- If a private show is not what was agreed, leave immediately and rate it; staying beyond five minutes rules out a full refund.
- Contact Stripchat support within 48 hours with your username, the model’s name, the date and time, and what went wrong.
- Keep screenshots of your token history.
Why a chargeback can cost you more
The terms say you agree not to report a charge as fraudulent or unauthorized without good faith. If you do, you remain liable for the charge plus a $100 administrative fee. A chargeback is meant for genuinely unauthorized charges, such as a stolen card. For anything else, go through support first.
Avoid the problem: switch off Balance Auto-Refill and cancel Ultimate if you no longer use it. Most unwanted charges come from automatic renewals, not from shows.
