How it works

Challenges are the heart of Gs Challenge. An artist creates a challenge around their song, writes instructions for what fans should do, sets a total budget, and specifies how much each approved submission earns. The artist can also record a sample video showing how they perform the challenge, giving fans a reference point.

When a fan finds a challenge they want to enter, they record a short video following the instructions and submit it. The submission goes to the artist (or their designated review team) for approval. Once approved, the payout amount is credited to the fan's wallet, and the challenge's remaining budget decreases. When the budget is fully claimed, the challenge closes automatically.

Some challenges have entry requirements beyond the basic instructions. A challenge might require you to follow a specific account, pay an entry fee from your wallet, go live for a minimum number of minutes, or reach a referral target. These requirements are set by the artist and shown clearly before you start recording, so you always know what is expected.

Challenges can also be tied to levels. As you progress through levels on the platform — by earning badges, gaining followers, and participating in the community — you unlock access to higher-tier challenges with bigger payouts and more exclusive opportunities.

Live streaming lets you connect with your audience in real time. To go live solo, you need at least 50 followers — this ensures you have an audience ready to watch. Head-to-head battles, where two streamers compete side by side, unlock at 500 followers.

Before going live, the platform verifies your face to confirm it is really you. This is a security measure to prevent impersonation. During the stream, the platform also checks that your face remains visible — if your camera is off or your face is hidden for too long, you may be flagged for review.

While streaming, you have a range of interactive tools. You can apply camera filters and visual effects, invite viewers to join as co-hosts or guests (with their consent), and receive virtual gifts from viewers. Viewers can chat, react with emojis, request to join your stream, and send gifts that translate to real money in your wallet.

Live streams are also where the gift economy thrives. Viewers send gifts to show appreciation, and each gift has a real monetary value. A small platform fee is deducted, and the rest goes to you. You can acknowledge gift senders by name, set gift goals, and create an interactive experience that rewards both you and your viewers.

Reels are short-form videos that live in your profile and the public feed. You can record a reel directly in the app or upload a pre-recorded video. Reels can include background music from the Gs Challenge licensed music library — all tracks are pre-cleared, so you never have to worry about copyright.

By default, reels are muted to avoid copyright issues with original song audio. If your reel features your own voice — for motivation, comedy, or short movie content — you can set it to "talking" mode, which keeps your audio. You can also set a default sound mode in your profile preferences, so every new reel starts with your preferred setting.

Reels support comments, likes, and reactions. When someone comments on your reel, the keyboard opens automatically on mobile, making it easy to respond. You can tag other users in your reel captions using @mentions, and they will be notified. Reels also track unique views — each logged-in user only counts once, no matter how many times they watch.

Your wallet is where all your earnings live. Challenge payouts, live stream gifts, and referral rewards all land here. Every transaction is visible in your wallet history, with a clear description of what it was for and how much you earned.

When you are ready to cash out, you can request a withdrawal to PayPal or Stripe. Withdrawals require a verified legal name — this is a financial compliance measure. Your legal name is kept private and separate from your public display name, and it is locked once verified to prevent fraud.

Your withdrawal level determines the minimum withdrawal amount and how many free withdrawals you get. As you progress through levels on the platform, your withdrawal terms improve — lower minimums and more free withdrawals. All withdrawal requests are reviewed by admins to prevent fraud and ensure compliance.

Gs Challenge uses a level system to structure your journey on the platform. As you participate in challenges, gain followers, and earn badges, you progress through levels. Each level can unlock new challenges, better withdrawal terms, and exclusive opportunities.

Some levels require you to own a badge. Badges are purchased once and permanently unlock the challenges tied to that level. Some challenges also have independent requirements — like following a specific account, being verified, or having a profile photo — that apply regardless of your level.

The level system is designed to reward genuine participation, not just spending. While badges can be purchased, the challenges and activities that help you progress are available to everyone. The more you participate and engage, the more you unlock.

Safety is foundational to Gs Challenge. Every submission is reviewed before a payout is released. Every withdrawal is checked by an admin. Every reported piece of content is investigated. This multi-layer review process ensures that rewards go to legitimate participants and that the community remains trustworthy.

We use face verification technology to detect duplicate accounts and prevent one person from claiming multiple payouts for the same challenge. If a duplicate is detected, the submission is flagged for admin review, and the admin decides whether to apply a penalty or dismiss the finding.

During live streams, the platform monitors for face visibility and camera activity. If a streamer's face is not visible or the camera is off for an extended period, they may be flagged for review. This keeps live streaming authentic and prevents abuse.
