Modding is difficult, time-consuming and requires security in terms of working on big projects. With the new GGMods, the goal is to make sure, no matter how big or small, no matter the effort, you will be rewarded for your effort. The new community-driven mod website officially opened its doors on April 13, 2026, and the site even kicked off with a Modathon rewarding money along the way, plus other rewards. There's even a special token for early adopters of GGMods, as a pay structure that will never deviate will make sure no modder is ever left behind.
GGMods Monetization Structure
While you won't be getting a paycheck every two weeks in the mail that you'll need to cash at the grocery store, you will have access to GGMods Points. These can be converted into cash and distributed to a valid payment system. You must be 18 years of age to register for GGMods, so if you're a 13-year-old phenom, you're going to have to wait. In order to get funds outside the age restriction, your account must remain in good standing with no moderation strikes or history of copyright violations. Don't steal code.

Points are rewarded via downloads much like websites need clicks to generate revenue. Points also come from maintaining the mods to make sure they are in working order. Engagement with the community will also bring points that can be converted to cash. Transparency is the most important portion of this to GGMods.
Requirements for Earning Money on GGMods
- 18 years of age
- Good account standing
- Opt-in to reward system with valid payment information
The commitment relies on strong moderation and consideration of individual reasons to avoid abuse. Every action will have a return with the Fixed-Value model that is guaranteed by GGMods. A user's download is always worth the same amount, so the more that gets pumped out, the more opportunity for downloads.
Founding Modders and More Cash
Joining at launch as a mod creator will provide the opportunity to apply to the Founding Modders Program. The Founding Modders Program assures guaranteed cash up front with a cash advance. The goal of this is to ensure that modder's creations are going to GGMods. Early access to new features will also be guaranteed as a part of this program. Those in the Founders Modders Program can shape the development of GGMods going forward.
If you're able to obtain Founding Modders status and have friends, you have the opportunity to earn even more money. Refer A Founding Modder will earn a referral bonus. If accepted, once that user gets their advance, you'll receive a bonus. There are four tiers starting with $100 USD. This is achieved if that modder gets between one to five million Mod Author Unique Downloads.
Tier 2 then opens up to $250 USD with 5-10 million Mod Author Unique Downloads. Tier 3 will progress to $375 with ten to twenty million Mod Author Unique Downloads. The final tier, Tier 4, is achieved with twenty million plus Mod Author Unique Downloads and will provide $500. This is a Limited Time Offer at launch.
Referring Non-Founding Modders

The final step is mentioning five friends in that post. Events and Modathons will be a regular aspect of GGMods that will reward items. Other aspects include competitions and community challenges as there are plenty of ways to not only score some dough, but also be involved with a living and thriving modding community.
