Well, i got approved at 25 May for github sponsors, i got sponsored two days after, at my stripe dashboard it says estimated payout at 22 June, at my sponsors confirmation from github, they say “ Your first payout will be on September 22nd. After that you will be paid on the 22nd of each month!”, any clue on how this works and when exactly i will get paid?
Welcome @pitchgabriel - I agree that is confusing so I’m reaching out to our Sponsors team to get you some clarity. Hang tight - I’ll post back here once we’ve cleared this up 
Hi there 
It looks like you reached out to Support, but to close the loop and for anyone else curious about this:
Maintainers are placed on a three month payout probation for their first payout to ensure there are no fraudulent activities happening. The maintainer can continue being sponsored 
during this time. It’s only their balance 
being held until the probation period is over.
You should now be seeing the September date on your Sponsors dashboard with the amount.
