What xHamster bans, in its own words
In its own published rules, xHamster bans 6 of the 19 content categories I checked and never mentions 13. Each quote below is the platform's exact wording, with a link to the page it came from.
I'm on xHamster myself: my page there. What follows is what its terms say, not a list of what I post.
What xHamster 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)
-
Menstruation
violence, blood, defecation, vomiting
Source General 'blood' ban; menstrual blood not named separately. -
Induced vomiting (emesis)
-
Fecal content
-

submissions involving minors, animals, rape, incest, violence
Source Incest listed; roleplay and step-relations not addressed specifically. -
Alcohol or drugs on camera
persons under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or unconscious or sleeping persons
Source Persons under the influence listed as forbidden.
What xHamster 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
- Urination
- Urination on a partner
- Urine consumption
- Breath play or choking
- Full restraint during sex
- Fisting
- Weapons (real or prop)

What xHamster's terms say about the deal
From my comparison of platform terms. I finished reading xHamster'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. I read the general terms and the Ad Revenue Agreement. I have not read the separate Creators' Program terms.

License to your content: Perpetual or irrevocable
You grant Us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use
Source By submitting content, the user grants the company a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use it in connection with the Site, Services and the company's business. The Ad Revenue Agreement also grants perpetual rights in a creator's videos. -
AI training on your content: Allows AI training
for use with, training of and improving Our machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions
Source The license expressly covers use of submitted content with, to train and to improve the company's machine learning and AI solutions, models and neural networks, generative or otherwise. The wording covers generative models. Users are barred from training third-party AI on site content. -
Your content or name in promotion: Allows it
to use the Participant’s Video Content on the Website in connection with the advertising and exploitation of the Website
Source The Ad Revenue Agreement licenses the platform to use a creator's videos to advertise the site, and to use the creator's name, biography and likeness to advertise its products. From the Ad Revenue Agreement; I read the version effective April 11, 2025. -
After you delete or leave: Continues
We retain all licenses for Video Content previously uploaded by you
Source The Ad Revenue Agreement says the platform keeps all licenses when the agreement ends. It also says the platform may delete a creator's videos within up to 360 days of the agreement ending or of a deletion request. From the Ad Revenue Agreement; I read the version effective April 11, 2025. -
Suspending or ending your account: For any reason
The Operator decides to terminate this Agreement, at their sole discretion, effective immediately and without any requirement of notice to the Participant
Source The Ad Revenue Agreement lets the platform end it at its sole discretion, immediately and without notice. The general terms also let it suspend or end access on any event it deems necessary. From the Ad Revenue Agreement; I read the version effective April 11, 2025. -
Unpaid balance: Depends on the reason
any outstanding payments owed to you may be kept as a penalty
Source The Ad Revenue Agreement says that when the platform ends it for a breach, a suspected violation of law or at its sole discretion, the creator receives no compensation and outstanding payments may be kept as a penalty. When the creator asks to close the account, it says a balance over the US$100 minimum is paid and a smaller one is abandoned. From the Ad Revenue Agreement; I read the version effective April 11, 2025. -
Inactive accounts and unclaimed earnings: May close the account, charge a fee or keep the money
if no Video Content is uploaded, for a consecutive period of six (6) months
Source The Ad Revenue Agreement says it may be ended, at the platform's discretion, after six months without an upload. It says compensation is then paid up to that date only if the US$100 minimum has been reached. From the Ad Revenue Agreement; I read the version effective April 11, 2025. -
Changing the terms: No advance notice promised
all modifications or changes to this Agreement are in force and enforceable immediately upon posting.
Source The company may revise the Agreement unilaterally and changes take effect immediately on posting; it promises only to update the 'Last Modified' date. The Ad Revenue Agreement says an amended version takes effect on continued use or ten days after it is updated, whichever is earlier, and applies retrospectively. -
Disputes: Arbitration
either party must submit the issue to binding arbitration in accordance with applicable Arbitration Ordinance.
Source After good-faith negotiation, disputes go to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator in Cyprus under Cyprus law, with a jury trial waiver. Intellectual property and injunction claims are excepted. The Ad Revenue Agreement gives the courts of Cyprus exclusive jurisdiction in one clause and requires binding arbitration in Cyprus in the next.
No clear answer in the pages I read: Chargebacks and refunds; Time limit to bring a claim. That is not a promise either way.
