  Where every campaign runs and you get paid

  Content Rewards

  The buyer funds each RUCKUS campaign in their own Content Rewards account. Content Rewards tracks the views and pays you. RUCKUS writes the brief, reviews every clip and never holds the money.

  1. Read the fields before you cut. The buyer approves the rate per 1,000 views, the per-clip cap, the minimum views and the platforms in the campaign’s fields, and Content Rewards enforces them. When a reference clip and a written field disagree, RUCKUS reviews against the field.
  2. Verify the accounts you post from. Content Rewards checks each TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or X account you connect. You cannot submit from an account it has not verified, and a deleted account stops tracking.
  3. Submit the public link and nothing else. Content Rewards reads the views through each platform’s own API and runs fraud checks before a payout settles. RUCKUS never asks you for a screenshot of a number.
  4. Expect pay in rounds. Content Rewards pays in rounds, normally a 7-day earning period and then a 3-day hold, and tracks a clip for 30 days from submission unless the campaign sets another period. It pays nothing on views under the minimum and stops counting at the cap.
  5. Leave the post as you published it. Keep it public, labelled and unedited through every round and hold. RUCKUS denies a clip after the fact when you make it private, delete it or remove its label, or when it shows bought engagement, and Content Rewards stops counting its views.

  How payment works

  Where you join the bench and withdraw

  Whop

  RUCKUS runs its free clipper hub on Whop. Whop also processes your withdrawals when Content Rewards pays you.

  1. Join the hub. Nobody pays to join. Whop asks you to make an account first, then the RUCKUS Discord opens. RUCKUS posts every funded campaign in the Discord first.
  2. Save a payout method and keep it current. A payout sent to a closed account cannot be reissued, and RUCKUS cannot pay you another way because RUCKUS never holds the money.
  3. Expect Whop’s own identity check. Whop verifies your identity before you can withdraw, under its own rules. That check is Whop’s, not RUCKUS’s.
  4. Lock the account down. Turn on an authenticator app in Whop and in Content Rewards, and sign in only at their own domains. Treat any message that asks for your login as phishing.
  5. Pay nobody to join. RUCKUS never charges a clipper to join, train or get paid. Anyone asking you to pay is not us.

  Where you post

  TikTok

  1. Export clean. TikTok treats another platform’s watermark, a mirrored or cropped re-upload and a straight repost as unoriginal. Under its guidelines effective 24 September 2026, TikTok keeps unoriginal content out of the For You feed.
  2. Burn the captions in. If you add captions in the TikTok app, your exported file never has them, so your Shorts and Reels copies go out bare. Keep the text in the middle of the frame, clear of TikTok’s caption, username and buttons.
  3. Count on the campaign for the pay. TikTok’s Creator Rewards Program excludes paid and sponsored content, so Content Rewards pays you for a campaign clip out of the campaign budget and TikTok pays nothing.
  4. Label AI. TikTok requires a label on realistic AI-generated media. RUCKUS never accepts AI images of the game’s characters or places in a campaign clip.

  Where you post

  YouTube Shorts

  1. Pick the length on purpose. YouTube lets a Short uploaded since 15 October 2024 run 3 minutes, but only a Short of 60 seconds or under can use songs from its licensed music catalogue.
  2. Export from your editor. YouTube treats a visible third-party watermark as reused content, so never pull a finished TikTok back down and post it again.
  3. Title it for search. YouTube ranks Shorts in search and keeps serving them after the feed moves on, so name the moment the way a viewer would type it.
  4. Keep the two routes apart. Content Rewards pays you for approved views out of the campaign budget. YouTube pays its own ad revenue through a separate route with its own eligibility rules.

  Where you post

  Instagram Reels

  1. Cut it yourself. Meta’s branded content rules bar paying someone to post content they did not help make, so RUCKUS denies a raw repost on Instagram.
  2. Watch the audio. Meta licenses its popular music for personal posts, and Instagram can mute a paid Reel that uses it. Use the source audio, a track the brief supplies or the business catalogue.
  3. Export for the player. Upload a 1080 x 1920 MP4 at 30 or 60 fps, and keep text clear of the top and bottom edges, where Instagram’s caption, audio bar and buttons sit.
  4. Leave the asks out. Meta demotes a Reel when you ask for likes, follows or shares in its caption.

  Where you post

  X

  1. Keep the account public. Content Rewards cannot read a protected account, so RUCKUS cannot verify a clip posted from one.
  2. Cut to the timeline. X lets a standard account upload video up to 2 minutes 20 seconds. Cut 30 to 60 seconds for commentary and under 20 seconds for a single moment.
  3. Write the post text. Readers decide from the text whether to play the clip, so give them the claim, then who is in it, then a question worth a reply. Use one hashtag or none.
  4. Caption every clip. X plays video muted in the timeline, so burn the captions in.

  Where much of the footage starts

  Kick

  1. Cut only what the brief names. The brief’s source line lists the channels and broadcasts you may use, and RUCKUS denies a clip cut from anywhere else.
  2. Mark the moment. Press Kick’s Clip button, or the C key, to save a 10 to 180 second clip from a live stream or a past broadcast.
  3. Cut the master from the best source. Kick’s Clip button gives you a re-encoded file that softens once you crop into a facecam, so cut your master from the best source the brief allows.
  4. Be there live. Turn on notifications for the streamers in the campaign and join their Discords, so you see the moment while it happens.
  5. Post where the brief pays. Content Rewards pays you only for posts on the platforms the brief lists, from TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and X, and pays nothing for a post anywhere else.
