Introduction

Here's the full Account Owner journey laid out in order, combining onboarding, verification, and your first payout into one timeline.

Key Points

  • Step 1: Sign up or sign in at the Account Owner Portal.
  • Step 2: Read the full profit-sharing agreement.
  • Step 3: Complete identity verification with a valid government ID.
  • Step 4: Complete the platform-mandated live screening session on a laptop.
  • Step 5: Sign the agreement digitally with your account and payment details.
  • Step 6: Your account goes live and Starkworth begins managing it.
  • Ongoing: Receive your Account Owner Share every Wednesday by 3:00 PM (CST).

Frequently Asked Questions

Identity verification and live screening are platform-mandated requirements that run alongside the Portal's four tracked steps, rather than strictly before or after them.

Your first payout follows the next scheduled Wednesday cycle once your account is active and generating earnings.

Your agreement may not be able to start until you pass — see Live Screening and Identity Verification for what to expect.
