Having an extra income has incredibly made a HUGE difference for me. Such earnings make it possible for me to pay the costs of the basic needs for my family to live a better and easier life. When I received my first Payout from Kahoot! we went out for dinner and celebrated our son's birthday.

Earning the extra income from Kahoot has been amazing. The first payout occurred during the holiday season and it was used to add a few gifts under the Christmas tree for my wife and one year old son.

Frequently asked questions

What is Kahoot!’s marketplace and how does it work?

Kahoot!’s marketplace allows Verified creators and publishers to share and offer their high-quality learning content for sale, directly on the Kahoot! platforms and apps. All users except young users can purchase content offered for sale on the marketplace. All users can access the free content. 

What is a Verified creator?

A Verified creator is a user that has gone through an approval process with Kahoot!, where the quality and accuracy of their content has been evaluated. A Verified creator gets access to a Verified creator profile, and a “Verified” check mark that is visible across kahoot’s platform and apps next to their username. 

On the Verified profile, creators can display both their free and paid resources. They also get access to a community space on their profile where they can share updates with their own followers. The Verified profile also displays the Verified creator’s engagement numbers, a “follow” button, for any user to follow them and get notified when they add new content or post updates, and access to receive donations through a “Donate” button.  

How do I become a Verified creator?

All users (except young users) can apply to become a Verified creator  by logging into their kahoot account and following the link “Go to application” from their homepage (accessible from the top navigation by clicking “Home”) and submitting their application. To become Verified, a user must follow our Terms & Conditions and Community Guidelines. The Verification application can be approved or rejected. When approved, the user becomes a Verified creator.

How do I submit resources for sale?

As a Verified creator, you can upload your resources for sale directly from your profile page by following a few simple steps, including setting the sales price for the resource.  

What makes Kahoot!’s marketplace different from other marketplaces for learning content?

The resources found on Kahoot!’s marketplace combines the unique engagement that our users know and love, with deeper learning activities. The content is created and offered by trusted Verified creators, publishers and Kahoot!. In addition to this, Kahoot!’s marketplace is available globally in a range of languages. Kahoot! reserves the right to review content submitted to Kahoot!’s marketplace and remove content that is illegal or in other ways in breach of our T&Cs or Editorial Guidelines.

What is a Kahoot! course and how is a course different from a kahoot?

A Kahoot! course is a set of lessons or educational activities, including kahoots, that are integrated into a larger learning trajectory. A Kahoot! course is a resource that consists of various activities, such as kahoots, documents, slides, videos and more, that promotes deeper learning and engagement and works towards a specific learning goal. A course may contain one or more kahoots within it. Kahoot! courses are the flagship product on Kahoot!’s marketplace.

For how long do I get access to a Kahoot! course or another marketplace resource once I have paid for it?

Each purchased item, such as a course, is available for one-year unlimited access. The user who purchased the resource will be prompted when this period is about to expire and will have the opportunity to renew the access to the resource if it is still available for sale. Access to purchased resources will not automatically renew.

Kahoot!’s content subscriptions, such as Kahoot!+ AccessPass, is available as a subscription that gives the user annual or monthly access to a full library of resources. These subscriptions automatically renew, but can be canceled at any time.
