How to Earn on Rawly: A Complete Beginner's Guide
Rawly has two ways to earn Jeton: winning photo challenges and voting on brand-funded challenges. Both paths are open from day one. Neither requires followers, an existing audience, or prior earnings.
This guide walks through each earning mechanism, what the numbers actually look like, and what you need to do to reach your first withdrawal.
How the Jeton economy works
Jeton is Rawly's earned currency. It is separate from Token, which is the purchase currency used to fund challenges.
- Withdrawal rate: €0.06 per Jeton (fixed published rate)
- Minimum withdrawal: 500 Jeton (€30 before the payment processing fee)
- Withdrawable balance: Only Jeton earned from challenges and voting is withdrawable. Welcome bonus Jeton (5 Jeton on signup) and package bonus Jeton are non-withdrawable and expire within 30 days.
The rate is fixed by Rawly and published openly. It does not change based on platform performance, the number of active users, or advertising revenue.
Path 1: Win photo challenges
The primary way to earn on Rawly is by winning challenges. Here is the complete flow:
Find an open challenge
Open the Challenges tab. Each challenge card shows the brief (what to photograph), the prize pool in Jeton, and the submission deadline. The pool is visible before you commit to entering.
Capture your photo in-app
Tapping a challenge opens the Rawly camera directly. Photos must be taken live, no gallery imports, no editing, no filters. On supported devices, both front and rear cameras fire simultaneously as a proof-of-capture layer. The photo you see is the photo that enters.
Community voting phase
After the submission window closes, a voting phase opens, typically 24 hours. Community members swipe through entries and vote for their favourite. Your follower count, account age, and profile history have no effect on how often your photo is shown to voters.
Results and payout
The highest-voted submission wins. On a standard challenge, the winner receives 75% of the prize pool. Jeton is transferred to your balance immediately. Multiple winners can be set by the challenge creator, check the challenge details before entering.
Standard vs brand challenge payouts
| Challenge type | Winner earns | Voters earn | Platform | Pool funded by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 75% | 10% (split) | 15% | Challenge creator (Token) |
| Brand-funded | 75% (shared if several winners) | 25% (split) | 0% (the brand pays a separate fee) | Sponsoring brand |
| Private | 75% | 0% (10% to the community pool) | 15% | Challenge creator (Token) |
Path 2: Earn by voting
You do not need to submit a photo to earn on Rawly. On brand-funded challenges, 25% of the prize pool is shared among everyone who voted, weighted by rank, after the challenge resolves. On standard challenges, voters share 10% of the pool.
Voter payouts are weighted by your rank, from 1.0 to 1.5. A higher rank gives a somewhat larger share of the voters' pool. A new user at the lowest rank still earns from voting. Rank does not decide who wins a challenge. Challenge winners are picked by plain votes, one person one vote. Actual earnings depend on challenge outcomes.
Votes in challenges earn Jeton from the voter pool, not Score. Score comes only from challenges, RAW NOW and the object of the day, and it is not convertible to Jeton.
Full mechanics: how to earn Jeton by voting and how the voting system works.
What you need before your first withdrawal
Winning Jeton and withdrawing Jeton are two different milestones. You can win challenges before meeting withdrawal requirements, the Jeton accumulates in your balance. To withdraw, you need:
- Account age of 30 days or more
- At least 5 challenge participations (submitting or voting counts)
- Minimum 500 withdrawable Jeton (non-withdrawable bonus Jeton does not count)
- KYC verification for your first withdrawal (identity document required)
Withdrawals are currently open in the EU, the UK, the US, Canada and Switzerland. Other countries are being worked on. Playing is open everywhere. Every request is reviewed, then held for 21 days, and the payout arrives 3 to 5 business days later.

Withdrawal limits by rank
Rawly has no follower gate. The old follower-based creator levels were retired, and followers and posts do not unlock anything. Your rank sets how much you can withdraw per month, and ranks are earned in the app through months of play and wins.
| Rank | Monthly withdrawal limit |
|---|---|
| Plebs | 1,000 Jeton |
| Quaestor | 3,000 Jeton |
| Aedile | 5,000 Jeton |
| Praetor and above | 10,000 Jeton |
You can win challenges at any rank, and the limit is the only earnings gate tied to rank. Full breakdown: Rawly withdrawal limits by rank.
The rank system and your voter share
Rawly's rank system slightly changes how much of the voter pool you receive on challenges with a prize pool. Higher ranks carry a higher vote weight. Rank is a reputation that takes months or years, not an earnings multiplier:
| Rank | Vote weight |
|---|---|
| Plebs | ×1.0 |
| Quaestor | ×1.1 |
| Aedile | ×1.2 |
| Praetor | ×1.3 |
| Consul | ×1.4 |
| Censor | ×1.5 |
Each rank needs time on Rawly, active weeks, entries, wins at the higher steps, and a balanced vote. Vote balance looks at your last 200 answers in the vote deck and only keeps out people who give the same answer on everything, which means bots and spam. What you vote is not judged, and it pays nothing. Quaestor starts at 90 days, 10 active weeks, 30 entries and 1 win. Censor takes 3 years, 100 active weeks, 400 entries, 50 wins, a top 1% Score in 3 of the last 6 months and no violation. Rank is earned over time, never bought. The weight also counts in the RAW NOW daily pick. See: how the ranks work.
Common questions from new users
I won a challenge but can't withdraw yet. Where is my Jeton?
Jeton from challenge wins goes to your balance immediately. It accumulates there until you meet withdrawal requirements (500 Jeton minimum, 30-day account age, 5 participations, identity verification). You are not losing it, it is sitting in your account.
The welcome bonus says 5 Jeton, why can't I withdraw it?
The 5 Jeton welcome bonus is non-withdrawable by design. It is intended to let new users participate in small challenges without spending money. It expires 30 days after signup. Only Jeton earned from challenge wins and voting is withdrawable.
What is Score and can I convert it to Jeton?
Score is Rawly's civic reputation metric. It is a reputation signal, and your rank sets your vote weight. Score is not convertible to Jeton, this conversion was removed from the platform. Score comes only from challenges, RAW NOW and the object of the day. Votes in challenges and in the general vote deck earn no Score.
