FiveM servers are coming soon
Cfx.re only lets hosts it has authorized sell FiveM servers, and servers on other hosts get blocked. FiveM opens on Wilderack the day Cfx.re approves us as a hosting partner. These guides are ready for the day we open.
Running a FiveM server means agreeing to Rockstar’s Creator Platform License Agreement (the PLA), on top of Rockstar’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. In short: your server isn’t official, your website and store must say so and give a contact email, and you can only take money through Tebex, with no loot boxes, cash-out or selling in-game money.
This page explains the rules in plain words so they’re easier to follow. It isn’t legal advice, and it doesn’t replace the real terms. Read them yourself at fivem.net/terms, which opens the current agreement, last updated on September 10, 2026. If you plan to take money from players, read them with a parent or guardian.
The short version
- Your server isn’t official, and you can’t make it look like Rockstar approves it.
- Every website, store and listing for your server shows a contact email and Rockstar’s disclaimer.
- Payments go through Tebex only.
- No cash-out, real-money gambling, loot boxes or selling in-game money.
- No brand deals, ads or sponsorships, and no crypto or NFTs.
- No licensed music and no edited voice lines from the game.
- You’re responsible for everything on your server, even what your staff and players add.
Your server isn’t official
Rockstar runs the only official version of GTA V. Your server is allowed, but the agreement (section 2.3) says you can’t:
- Say or hint that your server is official, or that Rockstar approves, sponsors or endorses it.
- Use Rockstar’s logos, trademarks or other parts of its games in your server’s name or branding.
So a name like “Northbay RP” is fine. A logo that copies the GTA V logo, or a name built around Rockstar’s names, is not.
The disclaimer and contact email
Section 2.3 also says every website, product listing, store or other page that players see about your server must:
- Clearly show a working email address for the person or group that runs the server.
- Clearly show a disclaimer like this one, with your server’s name in place of the brackets:
“[CUSTOM SERVER NAME] IS NOT APPROVED, SPONSORED, OR ENDORSED BY ROCKSTAR GAMES.”
For a server called Northbay RP, that looks like:
NORTHBAY RP IS NOT APPROVED, SPONSORED, OR ENDORSED BY ROCKSTAR GAMES.
Contact: owner@example.comPut both somewhere easy to see, like the footer of your website and the front page of your Tebex store. Read “pages players see” broadly: if it presents your server to players, add them.
Taking money: Tebex only
Cfx.re names Tebex as the only payment partner for FiveM servers. Its docs say that using any other platform or payment provider is banned and breaks the agreement. Tebex also checks your identity and reviews your store before it can go live.
Even with Tebex, the agreement (section 3.1) bans these ways of making money:
| Banned | What it means |
|---|---|
| Cash-out | Players pay real money in and get real money, crypto or anything of value back out. This includes real-money casinos: slots, blackjack, poker |
| Loot boxes | Selling random rewards, gacha, raffles or sweepstakes, for real money or for in-game money |
| Selling in-game money | Trading your server’s currency for real money |
| Selling Rockstar’s items | Selling, offering or helping players get virtual items that Rockstar made |
| Brand deals | Running the server for, or as the “official” server of, a company or sponsor |
| Reselling others’ work | A store that collects other people’s scripts and sells them to server owners |
| Ads and sponsorships | Paid promotions inside your server or its content |
| Crypto | Using, selling or promoting cryptocurrency, NFTs, tokens or meme coins |
Rockstar can add to this list at any time. If you sell anything, you also have to follow consumer, tax and privacy laws where you live (section 3.2).
Music and voices
Section 2.4 says you can’t use your server to play or share music that is licensed by others, such as songs handled by music rights groups. You also can’t edit or remix the game’s voice recordings.
You’re responsible for your server
Under section 4, the owner and admins are responsible for everything on the server: scripts, cars, maps, chat, and anything staff or players add. That includes keeping players’ personal data safe.
Some practical habits:
- Buy paid scripts from their makers through the Cfx.re Marketplace or Tebex, never from leak sites. Leaked scripts are against the rules and often hide harmful code.
- Write clear server rules and keep staff who enforce them.
- Don’t collect more personal data than you need.
Hosting
Section 5.2 lets Rockstar name hosting companies (and other services) as authorized or unauthorized, and require owners to use an authorized one. Changes to that list take effect 30 days after they’re posted. The current list is on fivem.net/server-hosting.
What happens if you break the rules
Rockstar can take action against a server or account that breaks the agreement (section 7.2). That can mean your server is removed from the list or blocked, or your account is banned. Rockstar isn’t responsible for refunding money you spent on the server or its content.
