Verify your identity
Publishing has no identity gate. Money does: the payout chain is where Appsinity needs to know who it is paying, and where a suspended account is normally created.
Open Appsinity StudioWhen verification is actually required
The rule of thumb: anything that moves money or restores a suspended listing requires a human to confirm who is asking.
| Action | Identity needed? |
|---|---|
| Create an account, publish a listing, upload a build | No |
| Request a payout | Yes — payout method and the details behind it |
| Change a payout method | Yes |
| Publish an 18+ listing | Not from you, but the visitor must be verified as 18+ to open it |
| Respond to a copyright or content strike | Case by case, through [email protected] |
What the payout setup asks for
Studio's payout sheet collects an amount and one of three methods: bank, paypal or upi. The request itself is fixed at $150 per submission and is processed within 3-5 business days after verification, converted to your local currency at the prevailing rate.
- You cannot request before the balance covers the fixed amount; the button stays disabled with Minimum $150 balance required to request a payout.
- Selecting a method is mandatory — the sheet says Select a payment method to continue.
- Keep the name on the payout method identical to the account's display or organisation name. A mismatch is the most common cause of a delayed transfer.
18+ listings and the visitor's age
Content ratings on Appsinity are exactly 3+ 7+ 12+ 16+ 18+. Only 18+ produces a hard gate: an unverified visitor sees Verify your age and a note that the listing is rated 18+, and the link takes them to the store security settings.
The verification is a dateOfBirth field on the player record evaluated in the browser as 18 years or older. It is not a document check.
Set the rating honestly in the declarations sheet. An 18+ game published as 12+ is a policy breach under Content policy.
If the account is suspended or banned
Two statuses exist beyond your own control: suspended and banned. Both remove the listing from the catalog. Reinstatement goes through Appeals, and the appeal needs the account email plus the listing slug.
Keep a supportable trail: your own build sources, the assets' provenance, and the privacy policy you declared. Those are the four things an appeal asks for.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a business registration to publish?
No. Individuals publish under a display name. A company registration only matters for the payout method you choose.
Is there KYC for a $150 payout?
There is a verification step by a person before the transfer, not an automated document upload inside Studio. Have your payment details and identity ready when support asks.
Why does my listing ask visitors to verify their age?
Because its content rating is 18+. The rating is set in the app declarations sheet, see Data safety.
