Questions about ClipRaid, answered

ClipRaid is a platform where video game studios pay creators to post clips about their games. A studio funds a campaign and sets the pay: a rate per 1,000 views, or a fixed amount for an agreed set of clips. Creators post the clips on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, and the studio reviews them. ClipRaid reads the views every hour and adds what each clip earned to the creator's balance. Creators then request a payout, which our payout partner sends.

ClipRaid is run by FEVEREST sp. z o.o., a company registered in Poland (KRS 0001259587). Studios get their invoices from this company, and creators are paid through our payout partner, Grade. Contact: contact@clipraid.com.

ClipRaid charges studios one fee: 10% of what they pay in, charged once on the invoice.

Create a studio account; if we need to confirm your studio first, we email you. Add your game with its Steam link. Then set the budget, the pay and the dates, invite creators, and add game keys if you have them. Write to us if you want help with any step.

It goes back to your ClipRaid balance when the campaign closes: after its last earning day, after every submitted clip is reviewed, and after the final settlement. That is later than the day posting ends. You don't pay the fee again on money that comes back. If a studio leaves ClipRaid, it can ask in writing, and we send the unused balance back to its bank account. The fee is not refunded.

The studio does. Every clip a creator submits waits for the studio's review, and only accepted clips can earn, under the campaign's payment terms. When the studio rejects a clip, it writes a reason, and the creator sees it. In a campaign that pays per view, the studio can also stop an accepted clip at any time: it stops earning and keeps what it already earned. In a fixed-amount campaign, accepting a clip is final.

Every hour, ClipRaid reads each accepted clip's view count from YouTube, TikTok or Instagram. The studio sets the rate per 1,000 views (CPM), a limit on what one creator can earn, and a view threshold: either the views below it are never paid, or a clip that passes it is paid for all its views. A campaign never spends more than its budget. If the budget can't cover everyone, the creators who have earned the least in that campaign are paid first.

ClipRaid's terms ban bought views, bots and paying to boost a campaign clip. The platforms' view counts don't always show which views were paid for, so this is a rule creators agree to, not a filter. Our team can check a clip's view history for signs of bought views, and in a campaign that pays per view, a studio can stop any clip.

Each campaign's dashboard shows its views, spend against the budget, effective CPM, each clip's views and earnings, and its top creators. If the campaign's goal is wishlists and your game's Steam data is connected, it also shows the wishlists Steam reported over the campaign's days and the spend per wishlist. Those are wishlists counted during the campaign; ClipRaid does not claim the clips caused all of them.

No. Studios can invite the creators they already work with, and ClipRaid can also find creators for the game and invite them. Everyone who joins goes into the studio's creator list for the next campaign.

Not automatically. The creator owns the clip, and a ClipRaid campaign gives the studio no right to reuse it. To use a clip somewhere else, the studio has to arrange a separate license with the creator.

Yes. ClipRaid is free for creators and takes no cut of what they earn, because the studio pays ClipRaid's fee. ClipRaid also pays the payout fee for the standard payout methods. Other methods may cost a fee, which Grade shows before you pick one.

You must be 18 or older. Payouts go through our partner Grade, which must support the country where you pay tax. If it doesn't support yours yet, your ClipRaid dashboard tells you, so check it before you make clips.

Campaigns are invite-only. A studio or the ClipRaid team invites you, by email or with a campaign link. Without an invite, you can still sign up and join the waitlist.

No. There is no follower minimum to sign up. Campaigns are invite-only, and each studio decides which creators to invite.

On YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Each campaign says which of them it pays for. You connect your account so ClipRaid can check that the clip is yours and count its views. On Instagram, you need a professional account (creator or business). Twitch clips don't count in campaigns.

A campaign pays either a set rate for every 1,000 views or a fixed amount for an agreed set of clips. With a per-view rate, earning starts at a view threshold the campaign names and stays within its budget and any limit per creator; ClipRaid counts your views every hour and adds what you earned to your balance. With a fixed amount, you are paid once your clips are accepted and still online after a set number of days. You see your payment terms before you join, and the terms you accept stay the same.

The studio running the campaign reviews every clip you submit. Only accepted clips are eligible to earn, under the payment terms shown before you join. If the studio rejects a clip, you see its reason. That clip won't earn, but you can submit a different one while the campaign is open.

In a campaign that pays per view, a clip earns until the first of these: the campaign's last earning day (shown as "Clips earn until"), the campaign's budget running out, you reaching its limit per creator, or the studio stopping the clip. What the clip already earned stays yours.

What a clip already earned stays yours. A deleted clip stops earning, and if its view count drops, you keep what it already earned. In a fixed-amount campaign, your clips must stay online for the set number of days before you are paid.

Yes. Every campaign clip is paid promotion. Mark it as an ad in the clip and in its caption (for example, #ad). If the platform has a paid-promotion setting, turn it on. The campaign page shows the steps. Don't pay to boost a campaign clip: ClipRaid's terms ban it.

You can request a payout of your whole available balance from the app, with no minimum. Your tax details must be in place first. If a payout is under $100, you can request only one every 24 hours. Sometimes our team confirms a payout before it goes out; if so, the app tells you. A request is not the money yet: Grade then emails you a link to collect it.

Through our payout partner, Grade. For each payout, Grade emails you a link to collect the money and choose where it goes. The first time, Grade also asks you to confirm who you are and fill in a tax form. Grade must support the country where you pay tax.

EU tax rules for online platforms (called DAC7) require it. Before your first clip, ClipRaid asks where you pay tax. If that is outside the countries the rules cover, it is two questions and a tick. If they cover you (every EU country does), ClipRaid also asks for your name, address, date of birth and tax ID, and where the rules require it, reports your earnings to the Polish tax office and sends you a copy. Studios never see these details.

ClipRaid only has read access, so it can't post, edit or delete anything. It reads your handle, your follower count, and stats like views for the clips you submit to campaigns. If you agree, it also reads your recent posts to match you with campaigns. You can disconnect at any time, but in a live campaign that can pause your clips' earnings. Disconnecting stops new reads; it doesn't delete what ClipRaid already holds. To ask for that, use ClipRaid's data deletion page.

Yes. ClipRaid doesn't ask for exclusivity. You can use other platforms and make your own deals with studios.
