ThePlaybook

MuviPe is an OTT platform that refuses to behave like one. There is no monthly plan and no all-you-can-watch library. You walk up, you buy a ticket for one title, and that ticket is yours — to watch, and to earn from.

How a title works

• Producer sets the priceper title Each title carries its own price commitment from the producer. There is no platform-wide tier — a title is worth what its producer commits it at. The top-up price on that title is set separately, by admin (chapter 3).
• The user buys a ticketone title Same gesture as a box office: pay for the film you came to see. Nothing else in the catalogue opens with it.
• Purchase clearsunlock On a successful purchase two things switch on at once — the consumption timeline (chapter 3) and the referral tree (chapter 2).
• The holder starts referringown ticket A ticket holder refers their own ticket, not the platform in general. The link is bound to that title's tree.
• Locked for 15 dayscooldown A ticket closes when its tree fills all 363 positions. From that day the title is locked to that holder for 15 days — it shows in the catalogue as locked, with the unlock date on it. Buying it again is not possible during the cooldown.
• Unlocks on day 15then open When the cooldown lapses the title unlocks and stays unlocked. There is no deadline to act — the holder can repurchase then, or months later, and a fresh 363 tree opens on the same title.
• The season reset clears itsee ch. 07 A cooldown still running at the season close does not carry. The break wipes it and the title unlocks immediately in the new season, however many days were left to serve.
• Why the wait existsintent Fifteen days with the title unavailable is fifteen days the holder spends somewhere else in the catalogue. The cooldown is not a punishment for finishing — it is the mechanism that spreads interest across titles instead of letting one earner sit on a single one.

Every ticket opens its own referral tree. It holds 363 positions, fills in a fixed order, and closes when the last one lands. Full structure, fill order and registration rules are in the dedicated artifact — what follows is the working summary.

The shape

• Five levels, three wide3+9+27+81+243 The holder sits above three direct positions; each opens three more, for five levels. 243 of the 363 seats are level 5 alone.
• Level 1 is mandatoryunlock gate Positions 1, 2 and 3 must all fill before the commission cycle unlocks. They need not come from the holder — anyone upstream can fill them.
• Left spine firstfill order Seats do not fill level by level. The order runs straight down the left edge, back for centre, back for right, then sweeps the sides. All three branches advance together, one seat each.
• Fastest Fivebonus An extra bonus for a branch root plus the four seats below it down the left edge — but only when every seat in that chain came from the holder's own referrals. One outsider and the chain no longer qualifies.
• Close and cooldown15 d · see ch. 01 The ticket closes when all 363 land, and the title locks to that holder for 15 days before it can be bought again. This shortens the source PDF's 1–2 month cooldown to 15 days; the intent is unchanged — keep the holder moving through the catalogue.

What a ticket pays

Every rate below lives in the settings table and is changed by admin, so treat the numbers as a worked example rather than fixed policy. The structure is what matters: a ticket's price is assembled from five components, and only one of them — the distributor bonus — is what the tree pays out of.

The five-level split

The distributor bonus is divided by percentage down the five levels above the new position. The shares total 100%, so the whole bonus is always distributed — nothing is retained by default.

• Short uplines pay the companyfallback A position near the top of a tree has fewer than five levels above it. Any level with no ticket to pay is credited to the company instead, so the distributor bonus is always fully allocated.
• Leg bonusthe mandatory 3 The owner's three direct positions have to be filled, and they do not have to be filled by the owner — anyone above them in the tree can fill one. When that happens the owner keeps the position but shares their level 1 commission with whoever actually brought the referral. The share is set by which leg it was: left 50%, centre 75%, right 100%.
• Right costs the whole shareby design The percentages climb across the three legs, so the cost of letting someone else fill a position rises as the owner works rightward. On the right leg it is total: the owner keeps the seat and the tree progress, but none of that position's commission. It is a fee for not doing the referring.
• Fastest Fiveflat amount Paid as a fixed sum, not a percentage — ₹10 in the current settings — and only when the five-deep chain qualifies. It is the one payout that does not come out of the level split.

A ticket does not buy unlimited replays. It buys an allotment of watching time — three times the title's runtime — and every second played on any device comes out of the same pool.

The rules

• Timeline on purchaseruntime × 3 Every ticket carries a consumption timeline equal to three times the title's length. A 2-hour title gives 6 hours; the allotment is locked to that ticket.
• One pool, three surfacesTV · web · mobile Watching anywhere applies the consumption rules and deducts from the same total. Switching device does not reset anything.
• A season is one titlenot the series The ticketable unit for a web series is one complete season, not the series and not an episode. Season 1 at 5 episodes is one title with its own price; season 2 at 7 episodes is a separate title, separately priced, with its own ticket and its own 363 tree.
• Season runtime, then ×3summed A season's runtime is the sum of its episodes — 5 × 1 hour is a 5-hour title, so 15 hours of timeline. The holder spends it across the season however they like: three passes of everything, or one episode replayed fifteen times.
• Complete seasons onlyscope A season goes on sale finished. Nothing is listed while still releasing week by week, so runtime is fixed at listing and never changes under a ticket already sold — which is exactly why the season, not the series, is the unit: a growing series would move both the price and the timeline after purchase.
• Top-up on exhaustion+1 runtime If the holder exceeds the allotment, a top-up adds one further full runtime — 5 hours on that season, 2 hours on a 2-hour film — so playback continues. The ticket itself is not re-bought, and the referral tree is untouched.
• The ×3 belongs to the ticketonce only The triple allotment is what the ticket buys, and it is granted once. A top-up is not a second ticket and does not multiply — it adds one full title runtime, whatever that runtime is. A 2-hour film: ticket 6 hours, top-up 2. A 7-hour season: ticket 21 hours, top-up 7.
• Price set per titleadmin There is no platform-wide top-up rate. Admin sets the price on each title individually and can change it at any time, the same way the producer's price commitment is per title. Two titles of identical length can carry different top-up prices.
• Each grant is its own block70% of the block The 70% prompt is measured against the block currently being spent, not against a running total. On a 2-hour film the ticket's 6-hour block prompts at 4h 12m, and the 2-hour top-up block that follows prompts at 1h 24m. Consumption is never recalculated as a percentage of everything ever granted.
• No commission on top-upsnot a sale A top-up pays nothing into the 363 tree. It is not a new ticket and does not open or advance a position — the holder is simply buying more time on something they already own, so there is no referral event to pay out on.
• Playback ads still runch. 04 Top-up time is ordinary watching time. Playback ads serve during it exactly as they do on the ticket's own block, so the holder keeps earning scratch cards and keeps advancing the 10-ad unlock counter while watching on topped-up hours.
• Revenue split is contractualout of scope How top-up income divides between the producer and the company is settled in their agreement, title by title. It is not a product rule and nothing in the app derives from it.
• Top up as often as neededno cap There is no limit. Each top-up opens another block of one full runtime that prompts again at its own 70% mark, so a heavy rewatcher moves through repeating one-runtime cycles for as long as they keep buying — still within the season, since chapter 07 clears whatever is left unspent at the break.
• One full pass is the gatesee ch. 08 Three passes of headroom exist for a reason: the referral money on this ticket does not release until the holder has watched the full title timeline at least once.
• Unspent time dies with the seasonsee ch. 07 Timeline left on a ticket at the season close goes the same way as the holds — it does not carry into the next season, and neither does purchased top-up time. Hours banked are hours at risk.

Every earn path in the app funnels into one object: the scratch card. Ads pay in cards, the daily ladder pays in cards, the wheel pays in cards. The card is where value is actually revealed — and it is on a clock.

Earning cards

Spin the wheel

• Five spins a daydaily cap The wheel resets daily and offers up to five spins.
• 100 coins a spincost Every spin is paid for in coins, so the wheel is a sink as well as a source. Five spins is a 500-coin day.
• Three outcomesscratch · coins · lucky ads A spin lands on a scratch card, a coin payout, or lucky ads. The first two resolve on the spot; lucky ads is a grant that lands in the Ads section for the holder to work through (chapter 05).

The scratch card

• Scratch to reveal3 faces A card holds lucky money, coins, or better luck next time. Nothing is known until it is scratched.
• Fifteen-day expiry15 d A card left unscratched past its window expires. The clock runs only while the card is unlocked — it starts the moment the card becomes scratchable, which for most sources is the moment it is awarded.
• Revive with coinspaid An expired card can be brought back for a coin cost and scratched again — a second sink for the coin balance.
• Locked before earnedsee ch. 08 A card from a playback ad is not spendable the moment it is awarded. It lands in the wallet in a locked state — visible, counted, but unscratchable — and stays there until the holder has watched 10 playback ads on that title without skipping. Those 10 release the cards gained from that title so far; the next 10 release the next batch, and the count keeps running.

Two supply channels feed every ad slot in the app. Sponsored inventory is sold and served inside MuviPe and always fills first; third-party networks are the fallback when there is nothing sponsored to show.

The sponsor dashboard

• Self-serve uploadsponsor panel Every sponsor gets a dashboard. They upload their creatives there, and those are the ads that get displayed.
• Served in-houseno middleman Sponsored ads are triggered entirely within the MuviPe organisation — no network sits between the sponsor and the screen.
• Fill ordersponsored → network A slot asks for sponsored inventory first. Only when there is none does it fall through to the third-party stack.

Lucky ads

• Won on the wheelfrom ch. 04 Lucky ads is one of the three spin outcomes. It does not pay out in the wheel — it deposits into the Ads section, where the holder collects it by watching.
• Fifteen ads for the day10 + 5 The grant is a chance to watch 15 ads that day: 10 sponsored and 5 from the third-party networks. The sponsored majority is deliberate — a lucky-ads win is inventory the platform sells, not inventory it buys.

Formats and what they pay

150 badges across every module in the app. Tiered families carry the long game; one-shots reward the moment. Every badge pays out in coins, and the rarest carry a perk on top. Full catalogue in the dedicated artifact.

Rarity and payout

A season, in the sense games use the word: a fixed 90-day window that everything is measured inside. It exists to create urgency — to push a holder to finish what they started rather than let tickets and referrals drift.

• Ninety days90 d One season runs 90 days. The same clock applies to every holder.
• Finish before the bellpressure The season exists to rush completion. A holder with tickets bought and referrals running has to close them inside the window.
• Filed under the seasonarchive When the season ends, achievements and tickets are recorded against that season. The record stands; the unfinished work does not carry.
• Cooldowns clearedsee ch. 01 Repurchase cooldowns running at the close are wiped with everything else. A title locked on day 88 is open again on day 1 of the next season — the reset is the one thing that shortens a cooldown.
• Fresh startseason n+1 The next season opens clean and the cycle begins again.

Nothing earned is immediately spendable. Money from a ticket is held against that title, and cards from playback ads arrive locked. Both have a defined release — and both are lost if the season closes before the release condition is met.

Lock 1 · referral money

• Held per titleon hold Money a ticket generates is held against that particular title. It is visible but not yours yet.
• Release condition1 full pass The holder must watch the full title timeline at least once. Once that lands, the referral amount generated by that ticket is released.

Lock 2 · playback ad cards

• Cards arrive lockedper title Scratch cards earned from playback ads on a title start in a locked state.
• Ten unskipped adsbatch of 10 Watching 10 ads without skipping unlocks the cards gained from that title. The next 10 unlock the next batch, and so on.
• Counter resets at the breakpartial dropped The ad counter is per season. A partial batch — 7 of 10, or 9 of 10 — is dropped at the season close and does not carry. The next season starts every title back at zero, and the cards those seven ads earned are forfeited with it.

Forfeit at the season close

The same logic that clears achievements at the seasonal break applies to everything held. If it was not utilised, it does not travel.

This chapter holds gaps in the eight above — questions that block implementation of the module they sit under. Nothing is outstanding at present: every rule in chapters 01 to 08 has been decided.
