# How to get approved

In order to get paid to play games on Indie Raid, your account has to be **approved** first. To get approved, please follow the below steps:

1. You need to have an account registered at IndieRaid.com. If you haven't created an account yet, sign-up here: <https://indieraid.com/signup>
2. Use the image below as your [Twitch Panel](https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/how-to-edit-info-panels). There are more selections available [here](https://indieraid.com/streamer/panel). You can also create your own customize panel to fit your channel's style by using this [PNG](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638541566062886922/666349415002275902/indieraid_logo_587x428.png) file. \ <img src="/files/-LyZqi3JlSn9tyBAT8ZP" alt="" data-size="original">&#x20;
3. Connect your unique IndieRaid link to your panel. Once you have  (<https://www.indieraid.com/raid/>**\[YourUsername]**). This is important because we redirect      your viewers to the games that you are playing from our platform when they click on your panel. We pay you for that action!
4. Go to [www.twitch.tv](https://www.indieraid.com/streamer/www.twitch.tv), then go to **Settings -> Channel and Videos.** Make sure **Store past broadcasts** is enabled. This is important because game developers will review your VODs.&#x20;
