As a VIP leader in Atlas Earth, you've earned the right to collect commissions from badge sales in your territory! Here's everything you need to know about when and how these payments work.
Badge payout timing: VIP's (players with the most land in a given city, state/province/etc., and/or country) receive badge income from each badge bought for their specific city, state/province/etc., or country beginning at 12am UTC.
What 12am UTC means for you:
- UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the global time standard
- Your local payout time will vary based on your time zone:
- Eastern US: 8pm ET (7pm during daylight saving)
- Pacific US: 5pm PT (4pm during daylight saving)
- London: 12am GMT (1am during British Summer Time)
- Tokyo: 9am JST
- Sydney: 10am AEST (11am during daylight saving)
VIP commission structure: All VIP's receive a 10% commission (20 AB) for each badge purchased for their region:
Mayors earn from:
- City badge sales - 20 AB for every city badge purchased in your city
- Tourist activity - Benefit when visitors buy badges during their stay
Governors/Premiers earn from:
- State/province badge sales - 20 AB for every state badge sold
Presidents/Prime Ministers earn from:
- National badge sales - 20 AB for every country badge purchased
- Maximum reach - Commission from every national badge sold across your entire country
Understanding your earnings:
Daily payout examples: If 5 people bought your city's badge today:
- Commission earned: 5 badges × 20 AB = 100 Atlas Bucks
