Creator and Content Policy

Updated 20 September 2026

Verification, monetisation eligibility and creator obligations.

1. Monetisation eligibility

  • 18 years or older, with a confirmed account in good standing for at least 30 days.
  • No unresolved enforcement action for a prohibited-content category.
  • Completed identity verification before any withdrawal (see the Withdrawal and Payout Policy).
  • A payout account held in the creator's own verified legal name.

2. Blue-tick verification (separate from KYC)

  • Above 1,000,000 followers: identity documents only.
  • 500,000 to 999,999: identity documents plus evidence of public notability.
  • Below 500,000: at least two independent public references, such as news coverage, an established publication, radio or event billing.
  • Verification badges never substitute for the KYC checks required to receive money.

3. Rights, music and attribution

Creators must hold the rights to their footage and audio. Sounds reused from other posts are credited to the original creator, and a creator can switch reuse off before publishing. Repeat rights infringement ends monetisation.

4. Advertising and disclosure

Paid partnerships must be labelled. Promotion budgets bought with coins may only promote the creator's own content, channel, show or sound.
