Publish albums and scenes while keeping full rights to your work. Choose your own path â share for free, or earn from what you make.
OtakuRoom has two creator tracks. Figure out which one describes you â the detailed guide is right below.
You just want to share your work for free with fellow fans. No application, no KYC â download the app, publish from your own source, stay fully pseudonymous.
You want to earn from your work. Apply to the creator program, complete KYC, set your own prices, and receive payments through channels you control.
No application, no KYC. Any user can publish through OtakuRoom â the only thing you need to do is follow the content rules.
Get OtakuRoom for Windows â publishing sources is supported only on desktop (mobile is for browsing and consumption). Create a local account â no registration, no identity information required.
In the Workshop, create your own Source, organize albums and scenes, and configure its public address.
Once published, content is distributed over the distributed cache network. Share your source address directly, or apply to the Official Index for wider discovery.
Clear rules protect creators, users, and the platform. These baseline rules apply to every creator â paid or not.
Any content depicting or claiming to depict minors in a sexual context is strictly prohibited â including drawn or AI-generated material. Zero tolerance; artistic framing is not an exception.
Publish only content you own or are authorized to distribute. Publishing works you don't have rights to â scanned commercial manga, ripped video, extracted game assets â is not allowed.
Do not publish content that is unlawful in jurisdictions where OtakuRoom users are likely to be located. This includes but is not limited to Class III obscene material under the Hong Kong COIAO and non-consensual sexual content.
Rules need enforcement. Below is how we currently â or will soon â govern rule violations.
The official client hashes content during publishing; material matching the CSAM hash library is blocked outright. This mechanism is always on and cannot be disabled.
Sources confirmed to publish violating content are added to the official client blocklist â they can no longer be discovered or fetched through the official client.
The client has a reporting entry point â any user can submit a report on suspected violations. Reports are handled through a combination of automation and human review.
The commercial creator program is for creators who want to earn from their work â set your own prices, connect your own payment channels, and stay pseudonymous to users.
Before you can start collecting payments for your work, you'll need to meet these three requirements.
Apply from your account dashboard. Read and accept the Creator Agreement, Terms of Service, and Acceptable Use Policy; confirm you hold the rights to your work.
Commercial creators must complete KYC for anti-money-laundering and compliance purposes. Your real identity is not exposed to other users â your display name and source address can still be pseudonymous.
Connect and maintain your own payment channels. OtakuRoom does not hold or receive your revenue â payments go directly from paying users to your account.
OtakuRoom does not hold your funds, so the flow is simpler and more direct â but you're responsible for your own payment channels.
Set prices for albums or scenes, choose the payment methods you support, and publish through OtakuRoom.
Payments go through the channels you've connected. OtakuRoom does not touch the funds â it only records order and entitlement data where needed.
The creator dashboard aggregates orders and entitlements so you can reconcile against the records from your own payment channels.
Fair revenue share, clear ownership, and settlement that respects your autonomy.
OtakuRoom takes only a modest platform fee. The exact percentage is disclosed in the Creator Agreement and any adjustment requires advance notice. No other hidden costs.
You retain full copyright and other IP rights in your work. The platform license we require is limited to hosting and distribution through this service â non-exclusive, you may publish elsewhere simultaneously.
Your OtakuRoom display name and source address can stay pseudonymous. KYC data is used only for compliance and payment-channel connection â it is not exposed to other users.
We don't mandate which processor you use, and we don't touch the money flow. Pick the payment channel that suits your jurisdiction and tax situation.
If you're not just a creator but a studio or publisher with some scale â wanting your own app and a direct audience relationship â take a look at the OtakuRoom Framework licensing program.
Yes. You can start as a standard creator and apply for the commercial program later; you can also mix free and paid works at the same time.
Standard creators can be fully pseudonymous â no identity information required. Commercial creators must provide identity information to meet AML/KYC requirements, but can still use a pseudonym publicly; real identity is not exposed to users.
Commercial creators choose and maintain their own payment channels. OtakuRoom does not hold or receive the funds â payments go directly from users to your account. We do not mandate any specific settlement method.
We review reports from rights holders and users. Verified violating sources are added to the source-level blocklist and can no longer be distributed through the official client. Commercial creators with repeat substantiated violations may have their accounts terminated under the Repeat Infringer Policy. If you believe a report is mistaken, you may file an appeal.
Yes. OtakuRoom does not require exclusivity â whether standard or commercial, you are free to publish elsewhere simultaneously.
