How many TikTok diamonds equal one dollar in real currency?
It takes exactly 200 diamonds to equal $1.00 USD. Each diamond is pegged at half a cent ($0.005). Creators receive half of the coin's face value when an audience member sends a virtual gift.
Can I convert my creator diamonds back into coins to send gifts?
Yes. Inside the platform wallet, creators can exchange accumulated diamond balances directly for coins without waiting for a bank transfer. However, once converted back to coins, those funds cannot be withdrawn directly to a bank account without being re-gifted and split by the platform again.
What happens if my child spends money on coins without my permission?
