A creator filmed from behind in a dark warehouse, phone raised, her clip already multiplying into eighteen glowing screens around her.

Bahrain first. Arabic and English, right-to-left throughout.

Brands pay for verified views. Creators keep every fils they earn.


Roya is a Bahrain-based marketplace for short-form content. A brand publishes a structured Brand Kit and funds the campaign before it goes live. Creators post on their own accounts and earn per 1,000 verified views — counted from the moment the clip is submitted, never before.

How Roya works

One flow, two sides.

  1. 1

    A brand publishes a Brand Kit: approved hooks, calls to action and hashtags in Arabic and English, a do-and-don't list covering creative, cultural and religious ground, and a time-bound usage licence.

  2. 2

    The brand funds the campaign before it goes live. The money sits with the payment provider — not with Roya, and not as a balance anyone can spend.

  3. 3

    Creators open the kit, accept the licence, post the clip on their own account with the required disclosure, and submit the link.

  4. 4

    The brand has 72 hours to approve or reject, with a written reason if it rejects. A clip left unreviewed and unflagged is approved automatically — the clock never runs silently against the creator.

  5. 5

    Verified views accrue daily. Each day's views become payable 72 hours later, and the creator withdraws in Bahraini dinars.

What a Brand Kit actually contains

Every group below is a real field in the product, saved with the version a creator accepted — not a paragraph in a document.

  • Category, screened against the brand-safety blocklist
  • Colour palette, named, with hex values
  • Typography — an Arabic family and its Latin companion
  • Tone of voice, written separately in each language
  • Approved hooks, in Arabic and English
  • Calls to action, in Arabic and English
  • Hashtags, in Arabic and English
  • Do and don't, each entry tagged creative, cultural, religious or legal
  • Compliance flags, set per country
  • Usage licence — duration, territory, exclusivity, revocable
  • Disclosure requirements, including the ad hashtag per language
  • Assets — logos, source video, product shots, b-roll, fonts

Which side are you on?

For brands

Buy reach you can audit. Set a rate, fund a budget, and pay only for views that survived verification.

  • You set the rate per 1,000 verified views, and a ceiling per clip
  • Your budget sits with the payment provider until a creator earns it
  • Whatever isn't earned comes back to you
How it works for brands

For creators

Post on your own account, in your own style, and get paid in Bahraini dinars for views anyone can check.

  • You keep 100% of your rate — Roya takes nothing from you
  • Every clip shows its verified views and its status, openly
  • A rejection needs a written reason, and you can appeal it
How it works for creators

Where the money goes

A brand pays

Your budget, plus a 10% platform fee on what creators actually earn, plus 10% Bahrain VAT on that fee. Nothing else.

The fee is charged as a provision. If creators earn less than the budget, the unused budget and the unused fee both go back to your funding source.

A creator receives

100%

100% of the rate you earned. Roya charges creators nothing — not a service fee, not a withdrawal fee.

Paid in Bahraini dinars to a Bahraini bank account. No crypto. No prepaid wallets.

What makes Roya different

A brief that's actually structured

Hooks, calls to action, hashtags, a do-and-don't list, and per-country compliance flags — a real object in the product, versioned, not a document pasted into a chat.

Arabic first, and it pays the way Bahrain pays

The whole product is built right-to-left from the ground up. Brands pay by card, Benefit, BenefitPay or Apple Pay. Creators are paid in dinars to a local bank.

Snapchat is in scope

Most clipping platforms ignore Snapchat entirely, even though it's where a great deal of Gulf attention actually is. Roya verifies Snapchat clips by hand today, and we're working toward direct verification.

You can check the number

Every clip shows its verified views, what's still pending, what's payable, and its fraud-check status. Rejections carry a written reason. Appeals are a real path, not an email into the dark.

What we can verify today

We'd rather tell you this up front than let you find out after you've posted.

Common questions

All questions
Does it cost creators anything?

No. Creators keep 100% of their earned rate — Roya's fee is charged to brands, never to creators.

Can a brand get unused budget back?

Yes. Whatever creators don't earn — budget and the matching fee provision — is refunded at settlement.

What happens if my clip is rejected?

The brand must give you a written reason, and you can appeal. An overturned appeal restores your earnings.
