What OnlyFans bans, in its own words

In its own published rules, OnlyFans bans 10 of the 19 content categories I checked, restricts 1 and never mentions 8. Each quote below is the platform's exact wording, with a link to the page it came from.

I'm on OnlyFans myself: my page there. What follows is what its terms say, not a list of what I post.

What OnlyFans bans

Banned means the terms prohibit it, or a general ban clearly covers it. Where the terms don't name the category, my note under the quote says so.

  • Blood (real or simulated)

    features blood, or could be considered violent, or extreme; Source From OnlyFans' Help Center creator guide (login required).

  • Menstruation

    features blood, or could be considered violent, or extreme; Source Not named; covered by the general blood rule in the Help Center (login required).

  • Fecal content

    Prohibited bodily fluids including urine or excrement. Source Excrement named in the bodily-fluids ban.

  • Urination

    Prohibited bodily fluids including urine or excrement. Source Urine named in the bodily-fluids ban.

  • Urination on a partner

    Prohibited bodily fluids including urine or excrement. Source General urine ban covers use on another person.

  • Urine consumption

    Prohibited bodily fluids including urine or excrement. Source General urine ban covers consumption.

  • Weapons (real or prop)

    features weapons or illegal drugs; Source Help Center (login required) bans weapons outright; the AUP mentions harmful use only.

  • Family-role roleplay

    Illegal activity including actual, claimed, or role-played: exploitation, abuse, or harm of individuals under the age of 18; incest; Source Role-played incest named.

  • Age-regression roleplay (adults)

    features a creator who is pretending to be under 18, even though this is role-play or fiction; Source From the Help Center creator guide (login required). Covers adult age-play that suggests under 18.

  • Abduction or CNC roleplay

    pretending there is a lack of consent for sexual activity. Source From the Help Center creator guide (login required). Role-played non-consent is banned. Kidnapping themes alone are not named.

What OnlyFans restricts

Restricted means the terms limit it: they ban some forms of it, or allow it only under conditions. Anything the quote doesn't cover is not addressed, which is not the same as allowed.

  • Alcohol or drugs on camera

    Prohibited items including weapons or controlled substances used in a manner that threatens or may cause harm to yourself or to a third-party. Source Illegal drugs banned (Help Center); alcohol not addressed.

What OnlyFans doesn't mention

The published terms say nothing about these. Silence is not permission: a platform can still remove content under a general clause, or under rules that aren't on its public pages.

  • Lactation
  • Induced vomiting (emesis)
  • Breath play or choking
  • Full restraint during sex
  • Fisting
  • Diaper or ABDL content
  • Hypnosis or mind-control themes
  • Oversized or fantasy toys

What OnlyFans's terms say about the deal

From my comparison of platform terms. I finished reading OnlyFans's pages on November 11, 2026. Each line says what the words say, not whether a court would enforce them. I'm not a lawyer.

  • License to your content: Perpetual or irrevocable

    The license you grant us is perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, assignable, and transferable by us. Source The license the creator grants over all their Content is stated to be perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, assignable and transferable by the platform.

  • Suspending or ending your account: For any reason

    We may suspend or delete your account with 30 days' Notice, at any time, for any reason; Source The platform may suspend or delete an account for any reason on 30 days' Notice, and may suspend or delete without warning or Notice in listed circumstances such as suspected breach.

  • Unpaid balance: Depends on the reason

    (ii) treat any part of your Creator Earnings as forfeited; Source The platform may treat earnings as forfeited if a review finds a breach. When a creator deletes their own account, it says it will pay all unpaid earnings. Earnings may also be withheld during a review and set off against losses from a breach.

  • Chargebacks and refunds: The creator

    we may deduct an amount equal to the Creator Earnings portion of the refunded or chargeback amount. Source If a fan successfully obtains a refund or chargeback, the platform may deduct the creator earnings portion of that amount.

  • Changing the terms: No advance notice promised

    We may change any part of the Terms of Service without Notice, including: Source The platform may change any part of the terms without Notice (for example for legal changes or to address a risk), and says it will use reasonable efforts to Notify of other material changes.

  • Disputes: Courts

    the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim which arises out of or in connection with your agreement with us Source For business users, the terms apply the law of England and Wales and give its courts exclusive jurisdiction. The terms I read have no arbitration clause. This is the rule for business users, defined as users on the platform for commercial reasons.

  • Time limit to bring a claim: Terms say one year

    any claim or cause of action against us or any Subsidiary must be filed within the earlier of one year after the date Source The terms say a claim against the platform must be filed within one year of when it arose, or of when you learned or should have learned of the facts, whichever is earlier. The terms give six months to dispute a decision on your account.

No clear answer in the pages I read: AI training on your content; Your content or name in promotion; After you delete or leave; Inactive accounts and unclaimed earnings. That is not a promise either way.
