Can a donor suggest a trick or spot?

Yes. Viewers write the trick or spot in the message, and you read it on air and decide which one to try in the next session.

Does the alert work while streaming from a phone?

Yes. The alert is an OBS Browser Source, so you can add it in any setup, including a mobile encoder.

How much does Donator take?

Donator keeps only a small platform fee to run and grow the platform, and sends the rest straight to your Georgian bank account in GEL.

Why Donator instead of DonationAlerts or Streamlabs?

DonationAlerts and Streamlabs are tuned for other markets, and payouts often route to a foreign wallet, slowly and with extra cost. On Donator, a donation arrives by any bank card, Georgian or foreign, so a viewer in the diaspora can back you too, and the payout drops straight into a Georgian bank in GEL. Donator was built Georgian-language-first from day one and is the shortest route to receiving donations in Georgia.

How surfing streamers earn donations in Georgia

A surfing stream at the beach with a board

Surfing streamer donations in Georgia fund live sessions on the Black Sea coast, chasing waves, and showing off tricks on screen. A surfing streamer on Donator takes donations by any bank card, a session or trick request rides along with the donation itself, and the money lands in a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL.

A donation as a session or trick request

On a surf stream, viewers want you to try a specific trick, paddle out to a new spot, or take on a small challenge. A donation moves that wish to the front of the line, and you pick the next session from the donor's request.

With Donator, viewers send a donation by card with no registration, so suggesting the trick and supporting the stream happen in a single move.

An alert while streaming from the beach

A surf stream often runs from a phone or a waterproof camera. The donation alert shows through an OBS Browser Source, and you place it in a screen corner so the wave and the board shot stay free.

Out on the water, the alert appears briefly and keeps its sound cue, so viewers notice a donation even over the wind and the waves.

A session the audience funds

A new board, a wetsuit, and the trip to a spot all cost money. A donation is a direct way to fund that session, and a goal bar on stream shows how much has been raised.

Because payment works with any card, a Georgian living in the diaspora can easily back a session on their home coast, and the money lands straight in a Georgian bank in GEL.

Payout to a Georgian bank, in GEL

At the end of the day, the donations you have collected reach a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, directly in GEL, with no currency conversion and no foreign wallet.

Donator is Georgia's first and best donation platform, built on an official partnership with TBC and Bank of Georgia, and it is gradually expanding across the Caucasus, into Armenia and Azerbaijan.
