While Epic hasn’t officially announced any certain requirements that you need to fulfill, Fortnite gamers on Reddit and YouTube suggest that Epic has indeed started giving them out:

Fortnite: How to setup custom matches?
First and foremost, make sure that you have 2FA enabled on your account. Further, all players need to select the same server region and game-mode as the host. Once you have done that, follow the steps below:
1. Select the game-mode you want to play, and then click on the custom match button which should appear on the bottom right of your screen.
2. Select a matchmaking key. The key needs to be entered by all the participants. Further, make sure to hide the password if you are streaming the games. Unwanted people can use it to enter the custom match you have created. The password needs to be between 4-16 characters, cannot contain special characters, and needs to be unique and difficult to guess. Passwords like "1234" will be rejected.
3. Press play, and voila!
Your custom match has been created. You need to wait for all the players to join. Further, a maximum of hundred players can join.
4. The match will start automatically when a hundred players join. The host can also manually start it by clicking on the ‘Start Match’ button.
5. The players who enter the code after the game has been started will not be able to join it, and will receive an error message.
Remember, all the participants need to choose the same game-mode and server region as the host. If they do, there should be no issue!
