Is Union For Gamers (Curse) Really What It Seems? 90/10 Split?

Other than money and support, the reasons to be partnered are slim.

They are Maker Studios backed, but there is no mention of them on the site nor in their agreement.
Got the contract today. No NDA, as usual. They still require the same tax forms as the other networks but seem to have clarified the ambiguities of their sister network RPM. No minimum payment threshold; but I'm hoping they don't f**k up and create another threshold. Judging by these terms, however, that seems unlikely.

Okay! I can do that!
Hai. I'm the director of the Union for Gamers program, I took over in late January and have been revamping stuff for the past few months. I'll try to address some of the stuff in this thread.
DarkSerge: You somehow got lost in the migration, we're moving to a new support platform this week and a few tickets got lost in the transition. New support platform should be live this week, and I made sure your revenues are visible now, sorry about that.
Maker Studio: Yes, we're under them but we operate independently on pretty much every level, we run partners relations, contracts, payments, and direct sales with our own teams. They had the experience we needed to start and we're extremely happy to work with them. Our revenue share is a 90/10% for partners, there is no hidden cut at higher levels or anything. (We wouldn't be able to hide it in YT Analytics if we did that to be honest)
Support: Honestly, things could have been better in the past. I'm hiring more people and we have backup coming up on that, the priority was to straighten up the onboarding of new partners to get rid of the insane backlog we have. As I mentioned earlier, we're moving to a new platform this week and I'll probably regret mentioning it in public, but we should have the first version of a dashboard ready next week or the week after. We'll then iterate from that and bring tons of shinies that have been on my list for a while.
And to answer that last reply, yeah, we're updating the contract to clean it up, include live stream monetization, and maybe make it slightly prettier.
If you have any question about the network, go ahead, I'll stick around. ^^

Hey Boub, it's good to see you're in charge! I hope you haven't been running around Paris naked.
I have a question - do you partner with people from countries in which the YouTube partnership program hasn't been launched yet? I know some networks do, but I haven't been able to find any confirmation on your site.
Thanks!

Oh come on, the naked thing? According to google, it's 4 year and 1 week old, now I almost feel bad about missing the birthday.
We never had any problem partnering people from countries that do not support Adsense yet, so I would say yes, we can do it unless something super unexpected happens.

I'm closing in on 1k subs and I have been holding off on signing a contract on UFG. I have heard a lot of good things about them. 2 questions; besides 1,000 subs is there something I should have that would give me a better chance of being accepted? I have been doing Youtube for 5 weeks and have over 600 subs, and a decent amount of daily views.
Also, the no lock in contract, is it a huge hassle to leave? Obviously, I would not want to leave, but maybe I find out that UFG or a partnership period isn't for me, is it a huge hassle to leave? I say this because I have heard of TGN who has a no lock in but doesn't let people go without a huge fit.

We changed the recruitment requirements today to 1000 subs and 8k views monthly OR 10k views monthly (regardless of subs). I'll be playing around with the numbers for a few (potentially lower the views requirements )but beside that you should be good to go.
We usually drop people within 3 days or so, honestly we have a pretty good % of people who leave and eventually come back so it's not in our best interest to get them angry just for the sake of making slightly more money while they're in the network for another few weeks. It's just not worth the bad reputation we'd get.

If I were to apply and get denied do I have to wait a certain amount of time before I apply again?
