Step 1 of 3

Simple transfers with any card

Your sender only needs your link and a card. There is no account to create, no app to download, and no long sign-up. They open the link, type an amount, and pay just like they would in any online shop.

Donator works equally well with Georgian and foreign cards. Visa, Mastercard, local or international, all are accepted. For a gamer this matters, because your audience is often spread across different countries and different banks.

The money arrives instantly, in the middle of a stream or a match, with no extra steps. The sender does not wait for confirmations or click through several screens, which keeps attention on the live moment.

3% commission, you keep it all

Donator is a 3% commission platform, so 97% of the transferred amount reaches you. If a fan sends 20 GEL, you receive 20 GEL, not 17 or 15.

That difference adds up to real money over time. Many foreign platforms take 5% to 15%, plus a payment-processor fee, plus a withdrawal fee. On Donator those layers simply do not exist.

As a result, even small and frequent tips, which are the natural rhythm of streaming, stay with you in full and are worth collecting.

In GEL, to a Georgian bank

Funds land in GEL directly in a Georgian bank through the official TBC and Bank of Georgia partnership. No conversion games, no waiting on a foreign wallet.

That means you do not route money through PayPal or another foreign service where you first wait for approval, then a conversion, then pay a withdrawal fee. On Donator the money is already in GEL and already in your bank.

For a Georgian gamer that means the money is usable right away: pay by card, withdraw at an ATM, or save it, with no extra steps.

Perfect for the diaspora

Georgians abroad can send or receive money with a foreign card. Donator is Georgia's first and best platform and is expanding across the Caucasus.

Many Georgian gamers have part of their audience in the diaspora, Georgians living in Germany, the US, Poland, or Greece. They want to support you, but an international transfer is often slow and expensive.

With Donator their foreign card works as smoothly as a local one, and you still receive the money in GEL to a Georgian bank. For the diaspora this is the cheapest and fastest way to send a boost straight home to Georgia.

Step by step: add a card, receive, withdraw

Step one: create a free Donator account and add your Georgian bank card or account where you want the money to land. This is a one-time setup.

Step two: get your personal link and share it where your audience is, in your Twitch or YouTube description, on your Discord server, or on social media.

Step three: when someone opens the link, sets an amount, and pays by card, the money instantly appears on your balance. You can see who sent it and how much.

Step four: withdraw in GEL straight to your Georgian bank. Because the commission is 3%, the amount does not shrink on withdrawal. The whole process from start to first payout takes only a few minutes.

A real example

Picture a Tbilisi streamer playing live on a Thursday evening. During the broadcast one viewer in Batumi sends 10 GEL with a Georgian card, and another in Hamburg sends the equivalent of 15 EUR with a German card.

Both payments show up on screen instantly, and the streamer can thank them live. By the end of the stream both amounts are already in GEL on the Donator balance, at 3% commission.

The next day the streamer withdraws to a Bank of Georgia account and uses it right away. No lost conversion percentage, no week-long wait on a foreign wallet. That is the difference Donator makes.

Tips for gamers

Pin your Donator link on every platform where you are active, not just one. The more visible it is, the easier it is for viewers to support you.

On a live stream, briefly mention that the commission is 3% and 97% of the amount reaches you. This reassures viewers that their 10 GEL really arrives as 10 GEL.

Set up small, comfortable preset amounts. A gaming audience often gives small, frequent tips, and 3% commission is exactly what makes that format work.

Donator instead of foreign tools

Foreign tools like PayPal or international donation services are often a headache for a Georgian gamer: opening an account is hard, the money is in a foreign currency, withdrawal is slow, and fees stack up in layers.

Donator is built for Georgia. It works directly with Georgian banks, the money is in GEL, the interface is in Georgian, and support is local.

To be honest about the comparison: a foreign tool may be more famous, but for a Georgian gamer who needs money in GEL, in a Georgian bank, with a 3% commission, Donator is faster, cheaper, and simpler.

DonationAlerts and Streamlabs: gaming money transfers and the local option

Many streamers search DonationAlerts or Streamlabs when they want setup or an alternative. For gaming money transfers in Georgia, GEL payout is often the real friction.

On Donator the OBS alert shows right away, viewers pay with any card, and money goes to TBC or Bank of Georgia. You can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.

DonationAlerts, Streamlabs, and other tools: what changes in Georgia

Many streamers start with DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, because those are the names people type when they search for an OBS donation alert, a donation page, or an alternative to a foreign tool. StreamElements often shows up in the same shortlist.

In Georgia those products are often built for other markets: foreign wallets, awkward withdrawals, or fees that never land cleanly in GEL. Patreon and PayPal still fit some creator formats, but they do not always replace live stream donations with payout to a Georgian bank.

Donator is built so a viewer can pay with any card, Georgian or foreign, the alert can show in OBS right away, and the money settles in GEL to TBC or Bank of Georgia. If you already used DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, you can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.
