Compare itch to github

So I'm building this prepaid credit/token/coin system for my multiplayer online system: http://fuse.rupy.se

And I will also have github sponsors hooked up for subscriptions.

And I just did a quick test with 1$ on both and the difference in payout is considerable:

- Itch 0.47$ (here I'm guessing IRS takes 30%, I'm from Sweden; and paypal the rest?)

- Github ~1$ (pays out in SEK don't know which exchange rate, I'm pretty sure that is without matching because the account that pays is also sponsorable)

So apparently sponsorships do not have to pay the 30%: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nra-withholding and somehow stripe does not take any fee!?

This is when itch gets 0% btw!!!

I haven't actually taken anything out from Itch because you need 5$... github has been paying out to my bank account.

Edit: I have resubmitted the tax interview, but I gave the TIN last time so I don't know why I'm still being pulled 30%?!
