What is Rewarded TV?

Introducing Rewarded.TV and the Replay Value Proposition

Why Launch a Streaming Service

The over-the-top streaming industry (video delivered over the internet) is growing (Compound Annual Growth Rate of 13.87% / year) and is estimated to be worth $223 Billion by 2026.

While there are thousands of streaming platforms, services, and channels all around the world, they all look basically the same and operate with one of three models:

Subscription / SVOD (Subscription Based Video On Demand) - Subscribe
Advertising / AVOD (Ad supported Video On Demand) - Watch ads to access “Free” Content
Rentals / TVOD (Transaction Video On Demand) - Rent Movies and Series

As discussed extensively in the original Replay Whitepapers, these models have some significant drawbacks as executed today, specifically, as it relates to providing transparency over content usage and timely payments to content providers. Further, Consumers are left without much choice: most people find themselves having to subscribe to multiple services in order to find content they want (effectively subsidizing the content habits of other viewers and building an IP portfolio for the service where they have no long term benefit) OR have to endure 10+minutes of Advertising per hour to get their content for “free”.

We are introducing a new model, one that’s centered around community, provides value to consumers for their time, and provides content providers with visibility into their business and with opportunities to scale.

To that end, we’ve reimagined the streaming service experience in order to help drive growth and adoption of the Replay system and RPLAY token.

The Rewarded TV Difference

The service grows and generates revenue from three primary sources:

How Rewarded TV Works for Content Providers

By adopting Replay, Rewarded.TV is able to drive efficiency in the acquisition, measurement, reporting and payment to content providers, enabling to replicate this process with other distributors who adopt Replay as the ecosystem grows.

The Rewarded TV Target Market

Our service is intended to be a global, general market streaming service. We believe this target market will expand over time, but initially we feel it looks pretty close to the following:
