If there is a better place to ask this, let me know. I have searched Youtube's "help" page a lot, but I couldn't find anything to help me.

Okay, so I'm sure most of you have seen all kinds of videos on Youtube featuring someone playing a video game. They may have been recorded externally with a phone or camera, or they may have been recorded internally via a program or a recording device such as a HD PVR. Some of these videos may have the person talking during the video, like a lot of people on Machinima do with Call of Duty videos.

I have been uploading many videos of video games recorded internally with FRAPS, which is software which allows you to directly record many things playing on your computer. I do not talk or anything like that during the videos; it is just me playing the game.

I have tried to monetize these videos, which allows you to place ads on your videos, which in turn brings Youtube money as well as the uploader money. However, Youtube always tells me they could not verify proof I have commercial rights to use the video, so they do not allow me to monetize the video.

The thing is, I have seen all kinds of monetized videos just like mine. One channel in particular I like to watch that fits this category is [This guy.]( How did they provide proof they have commercial rights to use the video? 

Surely, they have done nothing more than me towards the game. I purchased the games I record ages ago, and that is all I can really do. I acknowledge who developed the game, as well as who licensed the game in my video description. I don't try to claim the content as my own or anything like that. I give complete credit to the developers of the game and inform everyone I am only uploading the video for entertainment as well as informative purposes (because it is a walkthrough of the game).

I would just like to make some extra money in the same way so many other people do via Youtube. If you are wondering, Youtube updated their partnership program recently to allow anyone to apply for it, but I was invited to it before that update anyway.
