Payout takes too long

[Speak2Erase]

One of my friends decided to give me a one-time sponsorship on GitHub to help me buy a steam page for one of my projects, under the assumption I'd get the money within a few days. It says it'll take 21 days (and I got an email mentioning something about a 60 day probation), what can I do to speed the process up?

Hi, @Speak2Erase, I'm the Engineering Manager for GitHub Sponsors. I can understand wanting to get the money immediately. It's tough to wait, and I definitely want you to get that steam page. We have a probation period to protect the Sponsors program. I just did a small one time sponsorship to make sure things are working as expected. Did you receive it?

Thank you so much! I can see the money in my dashboard listed in the payout, but other than that nothing's changed.

Can you comment here when you receive the actual payout?

Hi, I still haven't received my payout
