Host & Earn

Run paid tournaments on your Discord server. Players compete for real prizes, and you keep a share of every entry fee.

How It Works

1

Set Up Your Tournament

Create a tournament, set the entry fee, configure teams, and define the prize pool split for winners.

2

Players Pay & Compete

Players pay the entry fee via Stripe to join. Teams battle across rounds with Dr. Evil judging the action.

3

Everyone Gets Paid

Winners take home prizes, you keep your host share, and payouts go directly to connected Stripe accounts.

The Money Flow

Every entry fee is split three ways. Prizes go to the winners. The platform and host then split the remaining revenue — with the platform always taking the larger share.

Prizes (40%)
Platform (40%)
Host (20%)

Example split at the Starter tier — prize pool is host-configurable; platform always earns 2× the host share.

Platform Fee Tiers

Revenue is split three ways: platform, host, and prizes. The platform always earns 2× the host share. High-volume servers earn a slightly larger host cut as a reward for activity.

40%
Starter
1–2 / month
Host keeps 20%
35%
Regular
3–5 / month
Host keeps 18%
30%
Active
6–9 / month
Host keeps 15%
25%
High Volume
10+ / month
Host keeps 13%

Platform share is always 2× the host share — prizes make up the remainder and are set by the host.
