The numbered badge next to a TikTok viewer’s name is their GIFTER LEVEL — a 1-to-50 grade TikTok assigns from their lifetime coin spending across the whole platform. It climbs slowly: single digits are casual senders, the 20s–30s are consistent spenders, and a 40+ badge marks a serious whale — someone who has spent at levels most rooms never see.
TikRadar reads these levels straight off the broadcast and renders the authentic badge art next to every viewer, everywhere: chat, gifter leaderboards, battle donor rolls, profiles. No estimation — the same grade TikTok shows in the live.
Levels matter because they are PREDICTIVE. A level-45 joining your room is potential energy — they may send nothing today, but they can single-handedly flip a PK battle. The DONOR LEVEL PROFILE radar on every live page splits the crowd (people) from the money (diamonds) across level bands, and the DIAMONDS BY LEVEL bars show which tier actually funds the room — a room carried by five level-40s is a very different business from one carried by five hundred level-5s.
Gifter levels are not FAN-CLUB levels. The fan club is per-creator: viewers join a specific creator’s club and level up by supporting THAT creator. TikRadar tracks both — the DIAMONDS BY FAN LEVEL chart shows whether money comes from the inner circle or from passing whales, and the fan-club growth panel counts new members per day.
