We take a small cut. Smaller than other services, like PayPal. We're open about this: http://tipjoy.com/faq/14/#q14

I stress the bookmarklet not because of our cut, but because it will grow our userbase -- people receiving lots of tips without being Tipjoy users will probably soon become users to claim the tips.

edit: I should also mention that our effective cut is small when you consider that tips can be recycled back into the community. Tip receivers can tip other things for essentially zero overhead. We take our small cut when someone cashes out.



Cool, allowing tips to be used inside the system to fund other tips is a good touch that also have the side effect of encouraging even more generosity.
