Frequently Asked Questions

While there are several tournament platforms on the market, we are purpose-built by a team of discerning gamers who choose the best tournament experience possible. 

Many other tournament platforms require a desktop to use or may not have a streamlined user experience that by definition are not mobile friendly. As a result, mobile gamers often do not have the best experience when organizing tournaments on their phones. 

Ignite Tournaments allows a level of tournament customization not seen on other platforms. Further, users can chat within the app with fellow gamers about anything tournament related.

Additionally, we offer fast payouts to our gamer customers, transparency of payments, have in-built anti-cheat mechanisms, and we maintain consistency in our prize pool distribution policies. 

Because Ignite Tournaments is built with mobile-first in mind, we provide a mobile solution that makes tournament organization and participation more accessible for mobile users.

Essentially, we are creating a far smoother, more equitable end-to-end tournament experience than tournament platforms have ever done before. This will ultimately increase user engagement, satisfaction, and most importantly, retention.

At launch, we will support all the major competitive formats your games offer. And shortly after, many other tournament formats will also be supported. Ignite Tournaments was built by competitive gamers with in-depth understanding of competitive formats.

With Ignite Tournaments, everyone can host tournaments however they desire,  player vs player or team vs team in duel, single elimination, battle royale, and other tournament types in the future releases.

This means that at both the local and large scale spectacle tournaments levels, Ignite Tournaments provides the infrastructure to enable fierce competition. As examples, you can run tournaments as a group of friends while ordering dinner, you can organize a tournament in a college dorm room, and you can also use this software in a stadium with thousands of fans in the audience. 

Each tournament organizer can specify the prize pools by placement (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd place payouts), the tournament format (e.g., duel, single elimination, battle royale,etc). The organizer can also give geolocation limitations for regional or local tournaments. 

Additionally, Ignite Tournaments will work with our B2B partners, sponsors, and external parties to run intermittent tournaments ourselves. These will include additional prize money and special marketing announcements / promotions to further delight your customers.

Your gamers are paid by winning the tournaments in which they participate! 

Sponsors will add more money into the prize pots via special sponsored tournaments. Our platform brings sponsors to the table for you. 

And thanks to our fintech partners, payouts on Ignite Tournaments are seamless, fast, and cost optimized. End users will be able to collect on more of the prize pool that they rightfully won. Our goal is to make it so our gamer customers never have to guess on when or if they will get their payouts. 

We also encourage that at strategic times, you as the game publisher act as a sponsor for tournaments as well.

Absolutely. We always want to contribute to our game partners’ tournaments. Reach out to partnerships@ignitetournaments.com to chat.

Ignite Tournaments wants your community to have all the tools possible to further connect, create, and compete. Ignite Tournaments can work with your team and develop a comprehensive strategy on how best to accomplish these goals including co-marketing, profit sharing, app integration, and event collaboration. 

We also want to put these tools in the hands of your community to see what they can create and develop on their own. So first, we’d like to make sure your community knows about these tools, and Ignite Tournaments’ existing community of creators and competitors knows about you; let’s make it happen partnerships@ignitetournaments.com.

Ignite Tournaments isn’t just about big prize pools and reaching competitive members of your communities.

With a dynamic and intuitive gaming event structure at your communities fingertips, the possibilities are endless on how to spark those creators, organizers, and fans along with the competitors. 

Whether it’s new in-game items, content releases, upcoming patches, or new launches, Ignite Tournaments can amplify what you and your team have already created and add structured incentives without the need for additional development from your team. 

Ignite Tournaments provides the opportunity to target members of your community to connect, create, and compete even more; let’s get started partnerships@ignitetournaments.com.

For game publishers who partner with Ignite Tournaments, we will open up our marketing and sponsorship channels to facilitate attracting our community members toward your game. Examples of key benefits to game publishers include: 

• Landing pages for game publishers on the Ignite Tournaments website to increase SEO links
• On the games listing page, visibility in the “New Games” section to better build awareness of your game
• Ability to buy ads and sponsored placement to further increase engagement and game downloads
• Ability to sponsor tournaments
• Ability to access our existing sponsorships, with prize pool allocation towards your game’s tournaments 
• Ability to access our brand partners’ ad and social media networks

We also give game developers the ability to sponsor tournaments with both cash and in game prizes, further increasing their brand engagement with gamers on our platform.

The main idea of our platform is to give gamers all the functionality that they need for tournaments, and have it easily available on the app and on the go.

We understand that for competitive mobile games, winning money in a competition would be a very big draw for gamers to continue to play the same game they already love. We provide all the infrastructure and quality of life components to enable this user retention for gamers.

Currently, our gamers can create, organize, and participate in tournaments on the app and chat with each other. In the future, we plan to introduce more social features, e.g., making friends, forming communities, and watching tournament streaming together.

We always welcome feedback from both our users and game developer partners as we continue to add features. So please drop us a line on our socials or through partnerships@ignitetournaments.com to let us know what’s valuable to you!

Using the Game Partner admin web app, game studios can add their games into Ignite Tournaments and optionally buy placement and/or sponsor tournaments to directly drive app installs and engagement metrics.

We benefit game publishers by both getting more users and via increasing your profitability and extending user base. 

We believe that a strong B2B collaboration strategy across both profit-sharing and user referral is the way to build a sustainable gaming ecosystem for the long run. 

Whatever gaming community you have, we want to grow it with you. We want to drive more spectacle and user retention for you, and we want you as a game studio to earn more for each user running tournaments on our platform. 

Contractually, the above can take many forms. Please reach out to us to chat. 

This means at both the tournament transaction level, and also at the advertising partners level, for our higher tier integrated game partners. 

Our technical sales team can guide you through performing an integration directly with Ignite Tournaments that enables:

• Direct linking from ignite into your app
• Direct tournaments creation
• Stats/gamer info sharing

We have a standard B2B partnering and contracting process to ensure we integrate with our gaming partners in the smoothest way: 

1. Engage in a letter of interest between both parties
2. Define the scope and features of the integration, profit-sharing rates, co-marketing efforts, known payouts, known tournament schedules, implementation timelines, development resources, etc., across both the business and engineering teams
3. Write up and sign contracts codifying the scope of activities above
4. Implement the above at a cross-departmental level across both parties; track progress via KPIs and interim B2B discussions

We have designed a streamlined process to integrate with you. That said, please be prepared that for the best user experience for our customers, we ask that you involve your marketing, finance, and engineering teams. Factors to be considered may include: 

• Marketing – Our teams may choose to run multi-channel posts and other coordinated advertisements, bringing in more gamers to your game and onto our platform. Campaigns can be single event or multiple long campaigns to maximize the users’ time playing your game.
• Finance – We will ensure that the KYC / AML and financial flows at a contractual level are aligned across our and your finance departments. 
• Engineering – We will align on the scope of data sharing and connectivity via APIs / SDKs to ensure smooth integration between your game and our tournament platform.
