For tournament organizers and esports platforms
Prize pools that pay out in every winner’s country
A bracket fills with players from thirty countries, and then the finance part starts: bank rails that stop at borders, winners without accounts, and amounts too small for a wire to make sense. GIFQ pays prizes as gift cards, prepaids, digital products or crypto - the winner picks, in their own market, at any amount.
The bracket is global. The payout rails aren’t.
Esports payouts inherit every weakness of cross-border payments and add two of their own: winners skew young, so many have no bank account to receive into, and community tournaments pay amounts that fees would eat. The result is prize money that takes weeks to land or quietly never gets claimed.
A prize a winner picks themselves does not have those problems. It clears at any value, in their own currency, for a brand they already use - Steam and Razer Gold for one winner, a local supermarket for another - and if they would rather take crypto, they can.
Any prize size, including small ones
Low denominations exist across most of the catalog, so a community cup paying out EUR 10 a head is as workable as a headline pool. No fee floor deciding your prize structure for you.
The winner chooses
Send a link and they pick from the brands available in their own country - or take the value in crypto. You stop maintaining a mental map of which prize works in which market.
One order, every winner
Upload the results as a CSV with name, email, amount and currency - up to 1,000 recipients per order - or call the API from your tournament platform. Per-recipient currency means one order can span every region in the bracket.
A ledger finance can close the books on
Every prize sent and claimed lands in one transaction ledger, pullable through the API. Prize liabilities stop living in a spreadsheet next to the bracket.
