How do I check my Facebook monetization eligibility?
By the VIRAL AI team · Updated · 2 min read
The short answer
You check Facebook monetization eligibility in the Professional dashboard on your profile or Page, or in Meta Business Suite, under the Monetization section. It lists the programs available in your country, which ones you qualify for, the requirements you still need to meet and any policy issues affecting eligibility.
Open each program, such as Content Monetization, Stars or subscriptions, to see its specific status. Monetization status also shows whether your account complies with Partner Monetization Policies and Content Monetization Policies; violations like unoriginal content or engagement bait appear there with explanations. If you are ineligible, address the listed issues and check again, since Meta updates eligibility and sends invitations through the dashboard.
Step-by-step plan
Switch on professional mode or open your Page’s Professional dashboard.
Go to the Monetization section to see available programs.
Open each program to review its specific requirements.
Check Monetization status for policy issues.
Fix listed issues and recheck every few weeks.
Example: a creator sees Stars available but Content Monetization showing “Unoriginal content”. After deleting reposted clips and posting original Reels for a month, the warning clears and the program becomes available.
Why this works
Facebook distributes Reels to people who don't follow you based on predicted watch time, shares and meaningful comments, and it now favours original creators over pages that repost others' clips. Monetization runs through Meta's Facebook Content Monetization program, which combined in-stream ads, Reels ads and performance bonuses into one invitation-based or apply-when-eligible system inside Meta Business Suite and the Professional Dashboard. Eligibility, payouts and available countries change frequently.
Common mistake to avoid
Relying on outdated third-party guides for eligibility. Meta’s programs and thresholds change; the dashboard is the source of truth.
Pro tip
Check Monetization status after any policy notification. Small issues, such as a single flagged post, can block eligibility until they are resolved.
Check it before you post
Don't guess why your video is stuck.
