What is ReelNite?
ReelNite is an independent streaming platform where viewers can watch the core catalog free with ads, discover creators, support individual creators directly, attend Live events, and shop creator releases.
Is ReelNite free to watch?
Yes. A ReelNite account gives you access to the eligible core catalog with ads. You do not need a new Standard or Premium platform membership to start watching.
What are creator subscriptions?
Creator subscriptions are optional monthly memberships offered by individual creators or studios. Benefits can include ad-free viewing on eligible creator content, subscriber Live access, ticket discounts, presales, and other benefits shown before you subscribe.
Do I need to subscribe to every creator?
No. Free discovery and ad-supported viewing remain central to ReelNite. Creator subscriptions are optional ways to support creators you care about and receive their subscriber benefits.
How do Live events work?
A Live event can be free with ads, sponsor-supported, included for a creator's subscribers, ticketed, or available by either a ticket or creator subscription. Eligible paid events can offer General Admission, VIP, subscriber pricing, free previews, presales, and replay access.
Can I buy a ticket without subscribing to a creator?
Yes when the event offers public ticket access. Subscriber-only events are limited to that creator's eligible subscribers, while some ticketed events offer subscribers a lower price or earlier access.
What happens to older Standard or Premium memberships?
ReelNite is no longer opening new Standard or Premium sales. Existing paid memberships remain governed through their existing billing lifecycle and continue receiving the benefits applicable to their paid period while ReelNite completes the transition.
How do I cancel a creator subscription?
Manage creator subscriptions from your account. Cancellation stops future renewal and normally preserves eligible creator benefits through the end of the current paid period, subject to the purchase terms and applicable law.
What content is available?
ReelNite can feature independent films, shorts, series, documentaries, comedy, creator programming, and eligible Live experiences. Availability depends on publication, rights, territory, and account eligibility.
What devices can I watch on?
The ReelNite web experience supports modern desktop and mobile browsers. Native mobile and living-room applications are released only after their respective build, device, and store acceptance requirements are complete.
Can viewers comment?
Yes. Eligible film discussions support comments with reporting and moderation. Live events can also offer a separate moderated Live chat when the creator enables it.
How do I become a creator?
Visit ReelNite Studio, create your Studio account, complete required setup, and submit eligible content for review. Studio also provides subscriptions, Live event tools, commerce, audience reporting, and payout setup.
How much do creators earn from subscriptions and Live tickets?
The standard model for creator subscriptions and eligible Live events is a 70% creator and 30% ReelNite split of defined Net Receipts. Net Receipts deduct permitted direct costs such as taxes, refunds, chargebacks, payment processing, recurring billing costs where applicable, and direct Live delivery costs for eligible events. ReelNite's general overhead is paid from ReelNite's share.
How do creator payouts work?
Recorded creator earnings move into ReelNite's payout process after the applicable accounting period and are paid once eligibility requirements are satisfied. Refunds, disputes, holds, and later adjustments remain part of the financial record.
How does the Shop work?
Eligible creators can sell approved products through ReelNite Shop. Sellers manage listings and fulfillment while ReelNite records checkout, refunds, disputes, and the seller earnings defined for each order.
How are ads delivered?
Free viewing can include controlled pre-roll and mid-roll advertising with pacing and frequency limits. ReelNite can also offer direct brand campaigns and sponsored Live experiences while monitoring viewer experience and ad yield.
What is the refund policy for tickets or subscriptions?
Refund eligibility depends on the purchase, event status, terms shown at checkout, and applicable law. If a charge is incorrect or an eligible event is canceled, use ReelNite Support so the transaction can be reviewed against its payment record.
