How to Set Up Tip Alerts on Rumble (2025)
Display CashApp, Venmo, PayPal, and Ko-fi tip notifications on your Rumble livestreams. Earn more than Rumble Rants.
Rumble has grown rapidly as an alternative video platform, and its Rants feature lets viewers send paid messages during livestreams. But Rants have limitations — Rumble takes a cut, and the customization options are minimal.
External tip alerts let you accept CashApp, Venmo, PayPal, Ko-fi, and Buy Me a Coffee tips with full custom alerts, 0% fees on many platforms, and instant payouts. Here's how to set them up.
