TikTok Creator Rewards Program: which countries get paid

TikTok's Creator Rewards Program pays in a short list of countries: the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, Mexico and Brazil. Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Ghana have some of TikTok's fastest-growing audiences and are not on that list, so views there earn nothing. TikTok says creators in Sub-Saharan Africa can still earn through LIVE Gifts, Video Gifts and Subscriptions. TikTok is banned in India.
