category: getstarted category: getstarted
--- ---
Rewards allow LBRY users to earn LBC, the token that powers the LBRY network. You can earn rewards for watching content, creating an identity, and generally learning about and using LBRY. Not all users or regions will qualify for rewards. Rewards are one of the ways LBRY users can obtain LBC (also known as LBRY credits, the digital currency token that powers the LBRY network). You can earn rewards for viewing content, following channels, publishing content, having other users to follow your channels, inviting other people to join LBRY, and more. Rewards are issued by LBRY Inc. **Reward amounts are subject to change at any time.**
**Please note:** Reward amounts are subject to change at any time by LBRY Inc. Not all users are eligible for rewards, but you can still use LBRY without earning rewards; there is no requirement to spend LBC or even create a LBRY.tv account if you just want to view content. [Learn more about eligibility below.](#eligibility)
If you're not eligible for rewards but want LBC to publish content or support other content creators, [learn about other ways to obtain LBC.](/faq/earn-credits)

## Rewards eligibility ## Rewards eligibility {#eligibility}
To be eligible for LBRY Rewards, you must: A reward is intended to be earned no more than one time by each real person. As such, eligibility restrictions are in place to prevent one person from earning rewards under multiple accounts.
- Sign up for an account at [lbry.tv](https://lbry.tv) To be eligible for rewards, you must **sign up for an account** at [lbry.tv](https://lbry.tv) and **verify your email**. Many users are required to **complete** [**additional verification**](#additional-verification); this common if using LBRY from VPN or a fraud-prone network. You may not be eligible if there is already another verified account in your household / location. Users on shared connections will typically not be eligible for rewards.
- Verify your email
- Potentially complete an [additional verification step](#additional-verification) (common if using from VPN or a fraud-prone network)
- Do not abuse the rewards system via follow x follow or view x view activity, either on LBRY or in private groups
- Do not spam comments on LBRY
Rewards are intended to be earnable on a per-person basis (typically limited to 1 rewards account per household / location). LBRY reserves the right to revoke rewards privileges on any account if abuse is suspected, including on the basis of VPN or shared connections. Users on shared connections will typically not be eligible for rewards. **Eligibility may be revoked by LBRY.tv if abuse is suspected.** Your eligibility may be revoked if:
## Do I need to be eligible for rewards? - you use a VPN or shared network to access LBRY.
- you try to artificially inflate follow counts or view counts (with "follow for follow" or "view for view" activity or purchased traffic) on LBRY or in other groups.
LBRY works with full functionality without rewards and there's never a requirement to earn rewards or sign in to lbry.tv. - you spam comments on LBRY.
- you immediately withdraw credits from the platform and do not use LBRY for its intended usecase.
