Rating values by rating system and country
Supported rating authorities and values by territory.
A valid film or TV rating using a supported rating system (ratingSystem) for the territory where a title will be available must be provided for each movie, episode, or shortForm video.
If the Title Has Not Been Officially Rated
If a title has not been rated by that territory's official rating authority, Roku strongly encourages partners to self-rate the title using the USA_PR rating system. Follow the guidelines for USA_PR ratings at tvguidelines.org.
Use NR (Not Rated) only as a last resort, when neither an official rating nor a self-assigned rating is available. The following restrictions apply:
Roku strongly prefers an official or self-assigned rating on all content. Titles rated NR are subject to manual verification, which can delay or prevent selection and publishing to Roku Channel. Discoverability may also be impacted, and placement within the Kids & Family experience will be prohibited for NR titles.

Canada and the United States each have two supported rating systems. Select the authority and rating value that apply to your title.
