Joining The Program
To join Core Perks, creators must first meet certain qualifications to become eligible. Details regarding the qualification and eligibility requirements can be found here.
Upon meeting the qualification and eligibility requirements, creators will receive notification via email as well as will have the Enroll Now button enabled within their Perks Program page. Additionally, an indicator will appear next to the Create tab of the Core interface:
Please note that the notification to join Perks is automated, but if you have met the qualifications and believe you are eligible but have not yet received the notification, you may contact Support and we will look into it for you. Keep in mind that there are additional qualification requirements beyond game and creator performance that make one eligible for joining Perks.
Activity
Accounts must be active within the past 90 days to maintain eligibility for the Program.Accounts that are inactive for more than 90 days may be ruled ineligible for the Program until they become active again.
In the event a creator’s account has become eligible, but they have not yet joined the Program, they will have to re-qualify to become eligible again should their account become inactive prior to joining.
Feel free to contact Support with any questions regarding your account activity and/or Perks Program membership.
