Creator Program

Rumble 2026 Creator Program

The Creator Program is an opportunity for creators to tap into new ways to make money on the Rumble platform. Rumble is allocating a portion of its profits from Rumble Premium subscribers towards creators based on the value they will contribute to Rumble. This will be calculated based on watch time, new user signups, and new premium subs the creator can drive during the program.

Requirements to Apply

Each round starts on the first of the month. Creators must apply by 12 pm ET on the 30th of the calendar month to undergo review for acceptance into the upcoming round. If a creator is already active in the program, they will be automatically enrolled into the next round as long as they fulfill the program requirements (below).

To be eligible, a creator must meet the following criteria:

  • Creator must have at least 100 total followers (this includes user and channel followers) at the time of enrollment and at the time of program kick-off.

  • Creator must have streamed at least 1 hour via the Rumble Studio in the last 30 consecutive days prior to their enrollment date via the Rumble Studio.

Ongoing Enrollment

If a creator is already active in the program, they will be automatically enrolled in the next round as long as they fulfill the program requirements (above). Applicants who are accepted will be enrolled in the program starting the following calendar month. Once a Creator has been accepted, as long as they meet the program requirements, they will be auto-enrolled to continue in the program.

Program Monetization Opportunities

Starting on the first of each month, creators will have the opportunity to get paid based on 3 factors:

  • Minutes Watched - Creators will get paid a portion of the allocated funds based on the watch time of their original content in proportion to other creators enrolled in the program.

  • New Rumble Signups - Creators will get compensated for new users brought to the Rumble platform.  User registrations will be attributed to the creator if the signup happens by clicking the "Sign Up" button on a creator's video or channel.

  • New Subscribers - Rumble can track the source of all Rumble Premium Signups. If the source is a Creator’s channel page, user page, or any content, that signup will be attributed to the Creator. 

Program Requirements

The above program monetization opportunities will only begin to get tracked for compensation starting on the first of the month. Any minutes watched or signups prior to this will not count towards the program payout. To be eligible for payment, the creator must meet the following criteria within the calendar month when they are Active:

  • Stream at least 30 total hours of content via Rumble Studio

  • Stream at least 5 hours of content to Rumble Premium via Rumble Studio

  • Accumulate at least 200 hours of total watch time

  • Total at least 20 chatters (users who sent at least one chat) across all Rumble Live Streams for the month 

  • Complete at least one raid in five separate livestreams of your own.

  • The 5 hours of Rumble Premium content can count towards the 30 total hours.

  • Watch time (hours viewed) is the total time viewers spend watching your videos.

  • Hours viewed will include all content and can be seen in the creator dashboard.

What is Raiding?

Raiding allows creators to send their live viewers to another creator's stream seamlessly.

  • Increase Discoverability

  • Build the Creator Community

  • Boost Audience Engagement

Learn more about how to raid.

There is no viewer count minimum for the new Raid requirement.

To meet the requirement, you must raid in five unique livestreams. This means each raid must come from a different stream. If you raid multiple times during the same stream, it still counts as one.

You can raid any creator you want, and it can be the same creator each time, as long as the raids come from five separate streams on your channel.

Payments

Payments will be calculated by the end of the month following the active period. To receive payment, US-based creators must have their W-9 completed on the dashboard.

Terms and Conditions

Additional program terms and conditions will apply and are available for review at the time of enrollment. At this time, the program is only open to creators located in the following countries or regions: Australia, Canada, El Salvador, Macedonia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
