Step 3 · Earn

Earn cash for what you make.

Whether you make games, short-form video, or interactive fiction, you're one creator with one balance and one monthly payout. The account you sign in with is the account that gets paid.

What you earn on

You earn your share whenever a player spends RUN Bits on something you made.

RUN Bits is the platform currency — players buy them once, then spend them across every game, story, and video on RUN.

Pour it back in

Turn earnings into RUN credits to make more, or boost promotion on what's already performing. Reinvested earnings skip the split entirely — you keep 100% as credits, no cut taken.

Earnings settle monthly into one statement across everything you publish. Set up payouts once (through our payments partner, Tipalti) and cash out when you pass the minimum; anything below carries to next month.
