W6 verified: what the badge means

“W6 verified” means the WANTED SIX team has reviewed this creator separately. The badge is a separate decision by the team, independent of approval as a creator. You don't need it to publish.

What the badge means and what it doesn't

The badge says nothing beyond the separate review by the team. It is:

• not an official identity check,

• not a confirmation that individual items are correct or lawful or recommended by WANTED SIX,

• not a partnership, sponsorship or payment from WANTED SIX,

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

How verification is awarded

• Approval as a creator doesn't include the badge. Verification is a separate, later decision by the team.

• There's no form to request verification, and there's no entitlement to it.

• The badge can't be bought, not even with Wanted Tokens.

• Only active creators can be verified.

• A linked YouTube channel is neither proof of ownership nor a verification.

• If you're verified, you get a notification.

Where the badge appears

Verified creators carry the badge on their creator page, in the creator lists, on the cards and detail pages of their content and on their public profile. You can see your own status in the overview in the Creator Studio, which shows “W6 verified” or “Not verified”.

If verification is removed

The team can remove verification again, for example after a breach of the creator guidelines. The badge then disappears immediately, and you get a notification with the reason.

• If your creator access is revoked, your creator page, and with it the badge, is no longer publicly visible.

• If you're approved again after a revocation, you start without the badge. The team decides separately about a new verification.

Disagree?

If you think removing your verification was wrong, write to us using the contact form and briefly explain why. The team then reviews the decision again. How approval as a creator works is explained in Become a creator.
