Hey Commanders, we’ve got something special for you! We are delighted to announce that, together with Just About, we are launching Just About Elite Dangerous[justabout.com]: bringing real-money rewards to the Elite Dangerous community for creating the best content and conversation on the internet.

Through their bounty system, Just About pays real-money rewards for all kinds of content and contributions, such as your most epic screenshots, exploration stories, or battle clips. It’s their way (and ours) to recognise this brilliant community.

In the last year, Just About has paid out over $25,000 in rewards, and is always looking for new ways to reward your creativity. They even take bounty suggestions from the community because who knows Elite better than all of you?

If you have any questions, check out their FAQ below.

There’s loads more in store over the coming months, so get involved now and start earning the rewards you deserve!


What are bounties?
Bounties are best thought of as community challenges, developed in partnership with the Frontier team. These might involve a screenshot competition for certain ships, sharing your exploration expertise, or filming your next battle.

Who decides the bounties?
Just About’s staff set the bounties, but taking on board input from both Frontier and community members. We want bounties to best meet the needs of the community, so please give us feedback on how we can improve!

So Just About pays members… why?
Our mission is to reward passionate fans for the contributions they make, whether that’s helpful guides, cool artwork, or brilliant videos! We believe that when you create these things you generate value for brands and platforms, so you should be rewarded for that.

How do I get paid?
Just connect your PayPal account and, if your balance is over $25, you’ll receive a payout each month. If you don’t hit that threshold, your rewards will roll over into the next month. We are looking at additional payment vendors and currencies in future, but for now it’s PayPal and USD only (but you can still be paid out globally).

Which bounties can I take part in?
Any of them and as many as you like!

Why do I have to connect a social account?
You don't have to connect any accounts to participate on Just About - all you need is a valid email address.

However some bounties require submissions to be video-based. In those cases, so that we can validate that you are the original author of that video, you'll need to connect your relevant creator account, such as YouTube, TikTok or Instagram (but even then, we try to offer you a few choices, and we’ll be adding more soon).

Is there an age limit to get involved?
Like most online services, to use the platform you need to be 13 or older. To receive payouts you must be 18+ (or 16+ with parental permission). You can still earn rewards when you're 13, 14 or 15, but we’re unable to pay them out until you're 16, in accordance with our Terms of Use.

Do I still own the content I submit to bounties?
Yes - we might promote it but we will credit you and you are free to post and monetise your content where you see fit.

And what about my data?
We don't sell (or share) your personal data, and never will.

We need to send some anonymised data to third parties so that we can run the platform effectively (for example, Google Analytics), but this is no different to any website or app you might use. You can see our full policies here:

Is Just About a global platform?
Yes, however we are English-language only right now.
