One video, one payment
The same cut is paid once. You cannot claim another creator’s video.
Views are read after 30 days
The view count recorded 30 days after publication determines the payout.
Claim within 30 days
Submit within 30 days of publication. Older back-catalogue videos do not qualify.
Our server must be on screen
Clips are reviewed manually. They must show our server and identify New Era on screen or in the caption.
CONDITIONS
Every rule that decides your pay.
Play on our server
Only active time on New Era with your linked Steam account counts while you are live.
Stream in Rust
Your broadcast must be in the Rust category. Other categories do not earn.
TikTok is reviewed by hand
Notify us before going live, submit the link and retain the replay. Time and audience figures are reviewed manually at the same rates.
Say where you are playing
Show the New Era name on screen or in the description so viewers can find us.
Minimum two-hour stream
Shorter streams do not qualify. Each stream is billed in complete half-hour blocks; partial time does not carry over.
Average viewers, never peak
Your average audience across the whole broadcast determines your rate. Earnings start at 10 average viewers.
A real audience
Viewbotting results in removal from the program and denial of the associated payout.
20 paid hours a week
At most 5 of these hours may be solo practice at USD 3/hour. You may stream above the cap, but it stops earning.
Paid monthly
Accepted streams and clips are totaled after month-end. Payments are made by PayPal or bank transfer.
