Monetizing community servers in Arma Reforger: How to apply and ways to earn

As of June 2, 2025, Arma Reforger server owners can apply to monetize their servers through Bohemia’s official website. This means anyone can earn from their server if they follow a few rules and guidelines.

Here are the monetization methods that are now allowed:

Access fees & cosmetic perks: You can charge players to access your server, and offer cosmetic-only perks. Pay-to-win items are strictly prohibited.
Advertising: You can include product placements, sponsorships, or in-game ads.
Donations: Accepting donations is completely allowed as long as it does not lock players out of any content.

If you want to join the server monetization program, you can apply through Bohemia’s website here. Once approved, your server will be added to the official list, and you can start making money. It is worth noting that servers will be removed from the list if they attempt to exploit any vulnerabilities.

The mod creators must show proof of permission to the developers if they are using third-party content and attempting to monetize it. What's interesting is that RHS Mods, one of the most popular Arma mod developers, is still sticking to their zero monetization policy.

That's everything you need to know about the Arma Reforger community server monetization. Note that creators can't apply forever, and the last day to apply for monetization is May 31, 2026. Additionally, even Arma 3 and DayZ community servers are eligible for monetization. For more information, you can visit the game's official website.
