Rules for creator content

Who can apply

• Applications are tied to a WANTED SIX account. Accounts are free and available from age 18.

• Applying and being approved are free. The form doesn't ask for a minimum number of followers.

• You can have one open application at a time.

What the form asks for

• Profile name with 2 to 40 characters. This is how you appear as a creator, and you can change it later.

• Focus: clips, edits, screenshots, guides, streaming or mixed.

• Short introduction of up to 1,000 characters: who you are, what you create and where you're active.

• One to six links to your official channels on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, X, Instagram or Kick, each starting with https://.

• Your confirmation that you have read these creator guidelines and will follow them.

Only list channels that belong to you or that you run yourself.

How applications are reviewed

The WANTED SIX team looks at your channels and your introduction and decides whether your application fits the program. A person makes the decision, not an automated system. You can check the current status at any time on the application page: under review, question, approved, declined or withdrawn.

• Questions: If the team has questions, they appear on the application page. You answer there directly with up to 1,000 characters and can also update your details if needed.

• Withdrawing: You can withdraw an open application at any time. After that, you can apply again whenever you like.

• Declined: A declined application always comes with a reason, shown on the application page. You can apply again after a waiting period, currently 14 days. The same page shows from which date.

• Approved: Your creator studio is unlocked and you get a public creator page. Approval doesn't come with automatic Wanted Tokens or XP, and it doesn't include a verified badge.

The WANTED SIX team grants the “W6 verified” badge in a separate decision, independent of approval. It appears on your creator page and in lists. Nobody is entitled to verification, and the badge can't be bought, not even with Wanted Tokens.

What “W6 verified” means

The WANTED SIX team has reviewed this creator separately. The badge says nothing more than that.

What it doesn't mean

• It is not an official identity check.

• It is not required for publishing.

• It doesn't confirm that any piece of content is accurate, lawful or recommended by WANTED SIX.

• It is not a partnership, sponsorship or payment from WANTED SIX.

• It is not a connection to Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.

The team can remove verification again, for example after a breach of these guidelines. You'll be notified with a reason.

Your identity as a creator

• Your creator name and the address of your creator page must not suggest that you are another person, another creator, part of the WANTED SIX team or Rockstar Games. That's why addresses such as “admin”, “official”, “wantedsix” or “w6” are blocked.

• Only link a YouTube channel that belongs to you. Linking a channel doesn't prove that it's yours. A channel already linked by another creator can't be linked again.

• The channel links on your creator page lead only to your own official channels on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, X, Instagram or Kick, up to six.

Once approved, you publish yourself. The team doesn't approve each post in advance and never edits creator texts. It can only hide content, restore it, or feature individual creators and pieces editorially.

What you can do in the studio

• Create content, check drafts in the preview, publish, and later edit, unpublish or archive it.

• Design your creator page: banner, profile picture, a description of up to 2,000 characters, channel links, and the order and visibility of the sections.

• Link a YouTube channel. Your page can then show your three newest public videos automatically.

• Create your own events for your community. They appear on your creator page, not in the general event directory. The team sets how many open events you can have at once. You only see attendees as a number, never by name.

• View your creator code and your analytics, always as totals only.

Formats

Limits

• Videos are added only as a YouTube link. There is no direct video upload.

• You upload images as JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, up to 10 MB each. Our server converts them to a standard format and removes embedded metadata such as location data in the process.

• Titles up to 140 characters, summaries up to 300 characters, up to 8 tags.

• Each piece of content is in exactly one language, German or English. A translation is created as a separate piece. The format of a piece can't be changed after you create it.

• You decide per piece whether members can comment. Comments are subject to the community guidelines.

• The studio has no option to delete content. Unpublished or archived content is no longer public but stays saved, as do earlier versions. How to get content deleted for good is explained under “Privacy and visibility”.

When content is public

Published content is visible to every visitor, including people without an account, as long as your profile is public, your creator status is active and the team hasn't hidden the content.

Only publish what you made yourself or have the rights to use. That covers videos, images, texts, cover images, thumbnails and music. A source link doesn't replace permission.

Gameplay and Rockstar Games material

• GTA VI and material from it, such as game scenes, characters, logos, artwork and trailers, are protected by copyright and trademark law. The rights belong neither to you nor to WANTED SIX.

• Whether and how game material may be used, for example in videos, is up to the rights holders. Before you publish, check with Rockstar Games directly which rules apply, and check again regularly because such rules can change. WANTED SIX can't grant you any rights to Rockstar Games material and can't promise that a particular use is allowed.

• Link to official Rockstar Games trailers and images instead of uploading them as your own content or passing them off as your own work.

• No game files and no leaked, stolen or illegally obtained material, neither as an upload nor as a link.

Music

• Music in your videos and edits needs a license or the rights holders' permission. That includes well-known songs that only play briefly.

• Songs from the game, for example from radio stations, can be subject to separate rights held by labels and artists. A song playing in the game doesn't mean you can use it freely.

Third-party content and credits

• Use other people's clips, photos, graphics, thumbnails, texts or guides only with the rights holder's permission or within what the law allows, for example as a short quotation with its source.

• When you use third-party material you're allowed to use, credit the author and the source, for example with a name and a link. If a license requires a specific form of credit, follow it.

• Don't use other people's logos or brands in a way that suggests an official connection, partnership or endorsement.

Your own rights

The rights to your own content stay with you. The rights you grant WANTED SIX so we can show your content on the platform are set out in the terms of use.

Reporting rights violations

If you spot a rights violation in creator content, use “Report” on the content, choose “Something else” and briefly describe which right is infringed. Rights holders and anyone else can also reach us without an account via the contact form or by email to hello@wantedsix.com. What such a notice should contain is explained under “Reports and moderation”.

Whatever appears under your creator name has to be your own work.

• Don't copy texts, guides, images or videos from other creators or websites and pass them off as your own, not even slightly reworded, recut or translated.

• If you worked with others, credit them in the content.

• If your content builds on someone else's work, such as research, a map or a collection, name and link the source.

Featured spots, for example on the homepage or under “Featured”, are editorial decisions by the team. They can't be bought, and nobody is entitled to them.

Plenty of unconfirmed claims circulate around GTA VI. Anyone who sees your content needs to tell at a glance what is solid.

• Only call something official if Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive published it themselves. Name or link the source.

• Label rumors, leaks and your own guesses clearly as unconfirmed in the title or the first sentence.

• No made-up dates, prices or features.

• Titles, covers and thumbnails must match the content. No supposed leaks, reveals or sensations that the content doesn't deliver.

• Don't pass off edited or artificially generated images and videos, such as fan concepts, mods or AI images, as real GTA VI material. Label them as a concept, edit or fan art.

• No links to leaked, stolen or illegally obtained material.

The intel section shows how WANTED SIX labels its own stories. You can send tips about new sources to the editorial team as a tip.

Advertising has to be recognizable as advertising. In Austria this is required by, among others, Section 6 of the E-Commerce Act (ECG), Section 26 of the Media Act (MedienG) and the Federal Act against Unfair Competition (UWG). Hidden advertising is not allowed.

When you need to disclose

Label content as advertising if you received or will receive something in return for it, for example:

• money or a commission

• free products, game keys, access, trips or invitations

• affiliate links, discount or partner codes that earn you a share of sales

• an agreement in which someone else has a say in the content, topic or timing

The same applies when you promote your own products or offers for money, such as merchandise.

How to disclose

• In English content, use the word “Ad” or “Advertisement”; in German content, one of the statutory labels “Werbung”, “Anzeige” or “entgeltliche Einschaltung”. Vague terms such as “collaboration” or “supported by”, or a hashtag at the end, are not enough on their own.

• Put the label in the title or at the start of the text, not hidden at the end, and name who you are advertising for.

• If a video you link contains advertising, it must also be recognizable in the video itself, right at the start, not only at the end or in the description on YouTube.

• Also label affiliate links and discount codes right where they appear.

• For discounts, free extras or giveaways, state the conditions clearly and where they're easy to find in the content.

What may not be promoted

• gambling in any form, including casino, betting, loot box or skin gambling offers

• cheats, hacks, mod menus and other offers that put other players at a disadvantage

• trading accounts, items or in-game currency for real money

• offers aimed specifically at minors

• link dumps and redirects to unrelated offers

Your deals, not ours

Collaborations you agree to yourself are agreements between you and your partner. They must not look as if WANTED SIX is behind them. WANTED SIX does not currently arrange sponsorships for creators. If and when that changes, you'll find it on the creator program page.

Every approved creator has a creator code. It matches the address of the creator page. New members enter it when they sign up. Existing members pick a creator in their account under “Support a creator” or with the “Support this creator” button on the creator page. For members, supporting is free, private and doesn't make anyone follow the creator automatically.

What you can receive as a creator

• Up to 8 Wanted Tokens (WT) per new member. WT are only created if the member's very first choice is made at sign-up or within 30 days of creating the account.

• +2 WT once the member has confirmed their email address, no earlier than seven days after the choice. If the address still isn't confirmed after 30 days, this credit lapses.

• +6 WT if, within 30 days of the choice, the member was active on at least three different days, completed at least two missions and still supports you. For this credit, too, their email address must be confirmed and their account must be at least seven days old.

• Credits are booked automatically, up to 200 WT per calendar month. Anything above that stays reserved and is credited in the following months.

• Our system checks automatically, using these rules, whether the conditions are met, including whether the same person has already been counted. To do so, it compares the email addresses of the accounts involved. New credits are only created and reserved WT only booked while your creator status is active and both your account and the member's account are active, for example not suspended.

• Views, published content or being approved as a creator earn no WT.

Wanted Tokens are virtual points with no cash value and not a means of payment. They can't be bought with money, cashed out or transferred to anyone else, and can only be redeemed in the rewards catalog. A creator code never creates a claim to money, and there is no payment in real money. All details are on creator rewards.

Fixed rules

• Each member supports exactly one creator. Switching is possible no sooner than 30 days after the last choice and triggers no new WT, neither for the previous creator nor for the new one. There's no option to end support entirely.

• Both credits exist only once per person. Your own code doesn't count, and neither do second accounts of the same person.

• Your code is always the current address of your creator page. If you change the address in the studio, only the new code works from then on; existing support stays in place.

• Under “Creator code” in the studio you only see combined numbers, never the names or handles of individual supporters. Only the team can see individual attributions, and solely to check for abuse.

• If abuse is proven, the team reverses the attribution and takes back WT already credited, as far as the balance allows. You'll be told why.

Asking for support fairly

• You can share your code and ask your community to support you. When you do, say openly that you can receive Wanted Tokens for new members.

• Don't offer anything in return for choosing your code, whether money, items, giveaway entries or other benefits.

• Don't pressure anyone, and don't ask for proof such as screenshots from their account.

• Don't try to identify individual supporters from the numbers in the studio. With only a few supporters, totals can allow conclusions about individuals.

Reach on WANTED SIX should come from real people. So:

• No bought or traded followers, likes, comments, views or supporters, and no arrangements to inflate them.

• No bots, scripts, second accounts or fake profiles to influence reach, analytics or rewards.

• No spam in other people's comment sections to draw attention to yourself.

• Don't pretend to be another person, another creator, part of the WANTED SIX team, WANTED SIX or Rockstar Games.

Breaches can lead to attributions being reversed, WT being taken back, content being hidden or creator status being revoked.

Accounts are only available from age 18, but creator content is public and visible to every visitor, including people without an account. So:

• Don't aim content, campaigns or advertising specifically at minors.

• No attacks, shaming or hate against other creators, members or groups, including in titles, covers and thumbnails.

• No calls to harass others, mass-report them or flood their comments.

• No personal data of others without their consent, not even in the background of screenshots or videos, such as faces, real names, addresses or messages from private chats.

Giveaways and campaigns

Giveaways are allowed if they are fair and transparent. You are the organizer, not WANTED SIX.

• State clearly in the content who is organizing it, what can be won, how to take part, until when, and how winners are chosen and notified.

• Taking part costs no money and requires no stake.

• Don't collect login details, passwords, addresses, phone numbers or other personal data through comments, forms or links. Only after the winners are chosen, ask only the winners for the data you actually need to hand over the prize. You are responsible for that data yourself.

• Wanted Tokens and items from the rewards catalog can't be prizes because they can't be transferred.

• Don't aim giveaways specifically at minors, and don't present them as a WANTED SIX or Rockstar Games campaign.

• Content that breaks the law

• Hate or degrading people for their origin, religion, gender, sexuality or disability

• Threats, calls for violence and glorifying real-world violence

• Sexual or suggestive content

• Other people's personal data such as addresses, phone numbers, real names or photos without consent

• Cheats, exploits that hurt other players, scams and fake offers

• Malware and links that phish for login details

• Pretending to be another person, another creator, WANTED SIX or Rockstar Games

• Spam, bought reach and undisclosed advertising

• Game files and leaked, stolen or illegally obtained material

Everything else that applies to all members is in the community guidelines.

Reporting

Members report creator content with “Report” on the content and pick a reason, such as spam or advertising, harassment, hate, sexual content, violence, cheating or scams, impersonation, private information shared or something else. The creator concerned never learns who reported it.

Anyone can report illegal content, including people without an account, via the contact form with the subject “Report of illegal content” or by email to hello@wantedsix.com. So that we can review the notice, please include:

• the exact address (URL) of the content

• an explanation of why the content is illegal, for example which right it infringes; for copyright, also which work is concerned and who holds the rights

• your name and email address, except for notices about child sexual abuse material

• a statement that you believe in good faith that the information you provide is accurate and complete

You'll receive a confirmation of receipt. We'll send our decision and how you can challenge it to the email address you gave us.

How decisions are made

Reported content is reviewed by the operator's moderation team. Decisions about content and accounts are made by people. We don't use automated moderation decisions. Only technical aids run automatically: length checks, limits on how often an action can be repeated in a short time, and sorting of open cases by report reason and number of reports, which only sets the order, not the outcome. The measure depends on how serious and how frequent the breach is.

Possible measures

• hide a piece of content or a creator event. Text and media stay unchanged. You're told the reason in a notification, and for content it also appears in your creator studio. The team can restore the content later.

• issue a warning or a temporary or indefinite account suspension, or in serious cases end the user agreement

• remove the “W6 verified” badge

• revoke creator status

• reverse attributions and take back WT if the creator code is abused

Statement of reasons

We notify you of every measure with a statement of reasons. It sets out which measure we took and how long it applies, the facts it is based on, whether a report triggered it, that a person decided and no automated means were used, and whether it is based on these guidelines, the community guidelines or the terms of use, or on the law because the content is illegal. You'll also learn how you can challenge it.

If we suspect a criminal offence that threatens the life or safety of people, we inform the competent authorities.

• Appeal in your account: You can appeal every active warning or account suspension once, in your account settings under “Warnings & suspensions”. This is possible while the measure is active, including during a suspension. If the team decides in your favor, the measure ends immediately.

• Other decisions: If you disagree with another decision, such as hidden content, removed verification, revoked creator status, WT being taken back or a declined application, write to us via the contact form or to hello@wantedsix.com and briefly explain why you think the decision is wrong.

• Second review: The team decides on appeals and complaints after reviewing the case again, and here too a person makes the decision. You'll be told the outcome with a reason.

• Out-of-court dispute settlement: Independently of this, you can turn to an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified under Art. 21 of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065). The European Commission (opens in a new tab) publishes a list of certified bodies.

• Courts: You can go to court at any time.

If you breach these guidelines, the team can revoke your creator status, always with a reason. In that case:

• You can no longer publish new content. You can still see your existing content in the creator studio.

• Your creator page and your content are no longer public but stay saved.

• Your creator code no longer works. No new WT credits are created, and reserved WT are not booked.

• Your regular account remains.

• You can be approved again through a new application after a waiting period, currently 14 days. The application page shows from when.

If you want to hide your creator page and content for a while, set your profile to private in your privacy settings. If you delete your account, your creator status ends too: your creator page is cleared and your content is hidden from the public. What stays stored after that is explained in the privacy policy.

The creator program covers exactly what is described here, on the creator program page and on creator rewards.

• There is no promise of any particular reach, views, followers or supporters.

• There is no payment in real money and no promise of income.

• Nobody is entitled to be verified, featured or given priority in lists.

• Approval doesn't create a partnership, an employment or service relationship, or any authority to act on behalf of WANTED SIX.

• Sponsorships, partner offers and further creator rewards are planned but not yet available. There are no dates or commitments for them.

If we change these guidelines, we inform you on the platform in advance and publish the new version with a new date on this page. Significant changes only apply to you once you agree to them. The details are set out in the terms of use.

• Creator page: It publicly shows, among other things, your creator name, your handle, profile picture, banner, description, focus, channel links, your linked YouTube channel, your follower count, since when you have been a creator, the “W6 verified” badge with its date if you have it, and your published content and events. It is visible as long as your profile is public and your creator status is active. With a private profile, visitors see neither your creator page nor your content or events.

• YouTube: If you link a YouTube channel, our server sends your channel's identifier or handle to Google's YouTube interface and fetches public channel and video data, such as channel name, handle, thumbnails, video titles, dates, duration, and view and like counts. We show this data on your creator page and in the creator area of the homepage. Visitors only load the YouTube player after they have agreed to the YouTube category. If you unlink the channel, we remove the channel entry; video data already fetched currently stays in our cache.

• Analytics: View counts in the studio only come from visitors who agreed to analytics. Values from 1 to 4 are shown as “<5”. For your creator code you only see totals.

• Images: Images in your creator content are stored in publicly reachable storage. Anyone who knows an image's direct address can still open it after the content is unpublished or hidden, after your creator status is revoked or after your account is deleted, until it is deleted for good.

• Deleting for good: If you want a piece of content deleted for good, including its images and earlier versions, write to hello@wantedsix.com. We delete it unless a legal obligation prevents this or we still need it for an ongoing moderation case or to defend legal claims.

• Access: Application, creator and creator code data are currently not part of the data export under Data & account. You can get full access to your data on request to hello@wantedsix.com within one month.

WKD GmbH is the controller responsible for processing your data. Which data we process, for what purpose and how long we keep it is explained in the privacy policy.
