Thanks for choosing PokeMMO to help entertain your audience. We do not want to restrict your ability to monetize your content, reward your subcribers and followers, or inhibit your ability to partner with other companies. In summary, we try to strike a balance of permisiveness for monetization and restrictions enforced to prevent predatory practices against our players.
Certain instances of monetization are allowed with written permission. This document is written permission from PokeMMO to perform the activities listed below.

All policies described in this document assume good faith from an Entertainer. If we believe you are in violation of these rules, we may investigate your account(s) for deceptive practices. If in doubt, or you're encountering a situation not listed here, please open a Support ticket.
The guidelines we operate by are as follows:

✅ You are allowed to include sponsored content alongside videos featuring PokeMMO.
✅ You are allowed to partner with companies to create and promote Unofficial Game Events with Real Prizes ("Branded Events"). Consult the Unofficial Game Events with Real Prizes documentation for more information.
✅ You are allowed to use branding and product placement when promoting an event.
❌ PokeMMO is not an advertising platform. You are not allowed to promote sponsored content in-game or through our websites, e.g. the Forums, without our permission.
❌ You MUST clearly disclose any advertisers in your video or in the description of the video. You are not allowed to lie about whether a particular video or game event is sponsored by an advertiser.

We recognize that some of our rules regarding "real money trading" may inhibit your ability to reward your subscribers and followers. To help resolve this, we've enacted special rules for giveaways:
✅ You are allowed to perform giveaways or raffles which are exclusive to your paid viewers, as long as all viewers within a group have an equal chance at winning. For example, you may create a giveaway exclusive to "Tier 3 Subscribers."
❌ You are not allowed to directly trade game items for real money. This means that you can't give away items which directly correspond to how much a player has paid to you through your streaming platform.
