No. An AdSense account is not required as part of your DRM partnership.

According to the YouTube Partner Program requirements, your channel needs at least 1,000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time to be eligible to monetize your account. However, in case your videos are claimed revenue can be earned on the views, we do this for creators so that they can monetize from DAY 1.

Each time a viewer watches an advertisement on your video, you get paid. How much revenue you earn depends on the watch time and countries of your viewers.

Your earnings will be paid out directly from into your PayPal account or Local Bank Account, depending upon the payment model you choose.

Every video that is 100 percent yours can be monetized.

On our network you start making money right away. An individual channel is eligible for monetization once it reaches 4000 hours of watch time, with minimum of 1,000 subscribers and 1 month of formation.
