Quick answers about Onkast. Still stuck? Our support page has the details.

Getting started

What is Onkast?

Onkast is a casting platform. Creators, Brands, Casting Companies and Agencies publish Cast Calls, and Onkasters discover them and apply to be in the content.

Which route should I choose?

Choose "I want to be cast" if you want to apply to Cast Calls. Choose "I'm a Creator or Brand" if you are an independent creator or a brand casting for your own content, shoots or campaigns. Choose "I'm a Casting Company or Agency" if you cast regularly across productions, campaigns or client projects.

Do I need experience to apply?

Not to get started. Onkast is open to everyday people. Individual Cast Calls can ask for specific experience or credentials, and each one says so.

Is Onkast free?

Applying is always free. Your first Cast Call is free. After that, Flex is £4.99 for one additional Cast Call and Pro is £9.99 a month for unlimited Cast Calls. Paid publishing is not switched on yet. See Pricing.

Cast Calls, applications and offers

What is a Cast Call?

A Cast Call is a casting post that says who is wanted, where, when and whether it is paid, with questions applicants answer when they apply.

What happens after the application deadline?

A deadline closes new applications. It does not end the casting. The owner can still review applications, decline, send offers and confirm bookings, and your application keeps its real status until a decision is made.

What does "Offer received" mean?

The owner has offered you a spot. You have a response window to confirm or decline. If you confirm, it becomes a confirmed booking. If the window ends with no response, the offer expires.

Is an offer the same as a booking?

No. An offer becomes a confirmed booking only when the Onkaster accepts it.

Will I definitely be selected or paid?

No. Owners choose who to offer, and Onkast does not guarantee selection, payment or a booking. Each Cast Call shows whether it is paid.

How do I find a Cast Call someone shared with me?

Open the link or scan the QR code. With Onkast installed it opens in the app. Without it, you will see a preview and a six-digit code: install Onkast, then search the code.

Where can Cast Calls take place?

Onkast currently supports Cast Calls taking place in the United Kingdom. Publishers choose a UK nation and place when they create a Cast Call.

Can I apply from outside the UK?

Yes. Onkast does not limit who can apply by where they live. The Cast Call takes place in the UK, and the publisher decides whether the dates, travel and other requirements work for them.

How can I cast with confidence?

Explore an applicant's Vibe Check, posts and profile, message them in Onkast, and consider a quick video chat. Depending on your Cast Call, you may also want to check age or identity where appropriate, relevant experience, availability and travel, and agree clear terms in writing before work begins. A profile, Vibe Check or Trusted by mark is not verification by Onkast.

Publishing and plans

How do I share my Cast Call?

After publishing, open Share to get a poster image, a QR code, a link and a six-digit code for the same Cast Call.

What do Flex and Pro give me?

Flex lets you publish one additional Cast Call for a single payment. Pro lets you publish unlimited Cast Calls while subscribed.

Is there a free trial?

Eligible new Pro subscribers can start with 7 days free, then £9.99/month unless cancelled. Apple decides who is eligible, and the payment screen shows the trial only when you can get it. Cancel any time in your Apple ID subscription settings.

How do I cancel Pro or restore a purchase?

Cancel in your Apple ID settings. To get Pro back after reinstalling or changing phone, use Restore purchases in Your Plan.

Privacy and your choices

What data does Onkast collect?

There are three separate layers: the records needed to run Onkast, anonymous usage statistics where they apply, and optional detailed analytics only if you choose it. The Privacy Policy explains each.

How do I change my analytics or email choices?

In the app, go to Settings, Privacy & discovery. You can turn email updates, detailed analytics and anonymous usage statistics on or off separately, and each takes effect straight away.

How do I delete my account?

Open Settings in the app and delete your account. You can also email [email protected].
