The Netflix hit reality competitive series The Circle is all the rage right now. With Season 7 underway, fans are loving every bit of that show, and rightfully so!

The show focuses on an array of contestants who compete against one another in an anonymous form (or not), with the goal to build online relationships that will take you to the end.

While most of the contestants choose to be themselves, some opt for a more catfish take on a persona they believe will soar them further in the game than playing themselves would have. This is the case for player Alex Hobern, who played the game as "Kate".

With strategy and social skills being the biggest plus, fans are more curious about the game itself, and whether contestants are paid for appearing on it.

Reality shows paying out a weekly stipend to players is nothing new. A number of hit shows including Big Brother and Dancing With The Stars are known to supplement contestants' time on the series with a weekly salary. However, does The Circle also pay?

Well, it turns out that the only cash offered to players is that of the winning prize money... and that's about it!

According to a few former players of both the U.S. and U.K. versions, contestants are not given a payout for their time. However considering most seasons take less than a month to film, players aren't losing out on too much.

Other shows, including Big Brother, require far more commitment and time from the contestants, which is where their $750 weekly stipend comes into play.

While it'd be great for production to incorporate that with The Circle, it seems as if the fame and exposure given to players throughout their journey on the show is reward enough, plus the chance to take home the grand prize is definitely a good enough incentive to join.
