The amount you can earn from watching a video for one hour varies depending on the nature and frequency of the ads served during that time. Since the ads associated with each video can differ, there is no fixed earning amount based solely on time spent watching.

The estimated balance refers to the total amount earned that is not yet available for withdrawal, as it is subject to review and confirmation. After this review, the amount becomes the redeemable balance, which is the amount you can cash out once everything is approved.

If your earnings aren't getting updated on LYKSTAGE, even though your videos are getting views, likes, and watch time, several factors could be affecting the results:

1. Watch Time from Non-Monetized Regions: If a significant portion of your watch time comes from countries where monetization isn’t available, earnings may not accumulate. LYKSTAGE only generates revenue from views in regions where monetization is supported.
2. Limited Ad Serving: Ads may not display on all videos due to ad safety protocols or if the content doesn’t align with advertiser criteria. Limited or absent ads reduce the revenue potential from those views.
3. Viewer Behavior (Content Skipping): If viewers frequently skip portions of the video, it can impact earnings. Only uninterrupted watch time qualifies for monetization, so frequent skips may lead to lower earnings.
4. Ad Blocker Usage: If viewers use ad blockers, ads may not display, meaning their watch time won’t contribute to ad-based revenue.

To earn and receive coins as a viewer, please check the following criteria:

1. Login Status: Ensure you are logged in to your account while watching videos.
2. Ad Availability: Confirm that ads are being served on the video. Coins are only earned on monetized videos with ads.
3. Video Length: The video must be at least 3 minutes long to qualify for earning coins.
4. Watch Time: You earn coins for every uninterrupted 30-second interval of watch time on monetized videos.

Looping a video on repeat on LYKSTAGE doesn't contribute to increased earnings for creators. The platform's algorithms are designed to detect such behaviors and ensure that genuine viewer engagement is rewarded. Earnings are based on unique watch time and viewer interactions, not on repetitive views from the same user.

To earn rewards, you need to watch for a straight 30 seconds without skipping.
