Your Use of the Service
Content on the Service
The content on the Service includes videos, audio (for example music, sound tracks, sound bites, and other sounds), graphics, photos, p (such as games, written modules, books, comments, messages and scripts), branding (including trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos), interactive features, software, metrics, and other materials whether provided by you, R4G or a third-party (collectively, "Content").
Content is the responsibility of the person or entity that provides it to the Service. R4G is under no obligation to host or serve Content. If you see any Content you believe does not comply with this Agreement, including by violating the Community Guidelines or the law, you can report it to us..
Accounts and Content
You can use parts of the Service, such as browsing and searching for Content, without having an R4G account. However, it is required you have an R4G account to use some features. With an R4G account, you may be able to rate and review games and services provided by approved R4G revenue sharing partners (hereinafter "Game Masters") and other Content, create your own R4G Content, and participate in community discussions, promotions, and more. You can follow these instructions to create an R4G account.
After creating an R4G account you can upgrade into an Game Master account, at no cost, giving you Game Master privileges which allows you to list and run games, and participate in R4G's revenue sharing partner program. It may also give you access to additional features and functions, such as content, customer, and financial tools and or reporting. Here are some details about how to upgrade your Roll 4 Gravity account into an Game Master account. Additionally, here you can find additional detail about the R4G revenue sharing partner program.
To upgrade your R4G account to a Game Master account, simply create your first game. You will be prompted to sign up for Stripe Connect, which will enable eligible Game Masters to receive revenue sharing via R4G. Game Masters are not required to create paid games, but any paid games that people join and pay for will be automatically included in the revenue sharing program. Buy Me Dice, R4G's Game Master tipping product, will also be automatically included in the revenue sharing program. R4G revenue sharing is a simple 85% / 15% split between the Game Master and R4G, with the Game Master receiving the former (85%) and R4G receiving the latter (15%). R4G does not charge hidden service fees to the end user, which would exclude them from Game Master revenue sharing.
What is not included in revenue sharing? Exclusions from revenue sharing include any taxes R4G is required to collect by local, state, or federal law. Additionally, charges arising from 3rd party logistic services associated with the facilitation and fulfillment of physical goods and merchandise, for example, shipping and handling, are excluded from revenue sharing.
Game Masters receiving revenue sharing are part of the R4G Arbiter partner program. All revenue sharing Game Masters are considered Neo Arbiters, the first level of the Arbiter program. Additional Arbiter levels will become available and attainable as R4G releases additional products, features, incentives, and promotions. This section will be updated with further details about the Arbiter program as they are released.
To protect your R4G account, keep your password confidential. You should not reuse your R4G account password on third-party applications.
