Hideout.tv Do's and Don'ts

Hideout.tv is a great spot for entertainment. Whether you are looking to kick back and watch your favorite channel, discover new videos from our contributors, or even earn a few rewards, Hideout.tv is the place to be. To get the most enjoyment out of Hideout.tv (and keep your account in good standing) however, we recommend following the Hideout.tv Do's and Dont's:

Things You Definitely DON’T Want to Do
(a.k.a. surefire ways to have a bad viewing experience, earn absolutely nothing, or even lose your account)

Create Multiple Accounts: We love that you love Hideout.tv, but creating multiple accounts for the purposes of gaming promo codes or rewards can get you suspended.
Create Accounts By Using Disposable Email Accounts: Accounts must be tied to a legitimate email address. We update our list of disposable email domains daily, so just because you can register an account with a fake gmail account, or disposable email address, doesn’t mean that it won’t get blocked. If so, those rewards will be unretrievable.
Try to Game Video Rewards or Promos: One of the most common reasons why people get blocked is for trying to game our rewards mechanism. If we detect attempts to do so, your account will be banned.

Use a VPN or Proxy: Using VPN's or Proxies to mask your true location in order to game our rewards system will result in de-monetization and/or an account ban.  
Automatically Skip the Content: Hideout.tv is meant to be enjoyed like television. Thus, feel free to skip the content you don't like, but don't go beyond that.
Use an Autorefresher: Autorefreshers aren't allowed at Hideout.tv.
Run Any Sort of Script: Running scripts is against the rules and will get you banned from using Hideout.tv.
Ignore Device Limits: Rewards are eligible on only one instance/device of Hideout.tv. This includes a mix of mobile and desktop devices. Trying to run multiple instances of Hideout.tv with rewards enabled may result in a forfeiture of rewards and/or a disabled account.
Do Anything Else Meant to Game It: Don’t be uncool…it’s free.
