The Fines Report helps users track penalties applied for violations related to artificial stream inflation. This tool is crucial for analyzing and preventing potential sanctions.

What Does the Report Include?

The report provides details on fines linked to artificial streams:

• Fines for Artificial Streams. For a significant number of artificial streams, Spotify imposes a fine of €10. Such fines can have a substantial impact on your balance.
• The report is generated for the previous month.  For example, the October report includes fines for tracks flagged for artificial stream inflation in September.
• Retroactive Application. The fines system has been effective since Q2 2024, covering violations from that period, potentially leading to a negative balance.

How to Use the Report?

1. Go to the "Reports" or "Sale Reports" section in your Sundesire Media Worx dashboard.
2. Open the Fines Report.
