Founding Commissioners

The rate

23% for leagues connected before cash contests open. 10% for everyone after. The founding rate does not step down later and does not expire while your people keep playing.

The window closes when paid contests open, planned for November 2026. This offer may be extended once; it will not be extended twice, and nothing about waiting makes it better.

What you are paid on

Our fee is the part of an entry fee we keep after prizes are paid. Your share is 23% of that fee, on the contests the people you brought enter.

Never a share of anybody's losses. Not a cut of deposits, not a bonus for how much your league puts in, no table of who spent the most. You earn from the action your league already loves, and there is no version of this where you make more when your friends do worse.

Who counts as yours

• A person, not a league. Somebody who joins through your invite is yours, and they stay yours if they go on to play in five other leagues.
• First touch wins, permanently. The first invite a person arrives through is the one that counts. It is recorded when their account is created and it is never rewritten — not by us, not by anybody who sends them a link later.
• Someone who plays. An account that never plays a duel is a click, and clicks are not what this pays for.
• Already here doesn't count. People who signed up before you invited them stay with whoever brought them.

Getting paid

Monthly, from the fee we actually collected that month — not from a projection and not from a marketing budget. The program starts when cash contests start; until then there is no fee to share and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Payments go to a real person: we confirm your identity before money moves, the same as we do for anyone we pay. Eligible US states only, 18+.

Your league knows

Founding Commissioner is a public role, shown on your league's page. A commissioner quietly earning from their own league would be a conflict worth hiding; this one is written on the wall, which is the only version we are willing to run.

The honest part

We are new and you have no reason to trust us yet. That is exactly why the deal is shaped like this: your league gets the free season now — the weekly standings, the survivor pool, rivalries that keep score — and the share only ever matters if the paid part happens. You are not being asked to take a risk on us. You are being asked to go first, and paid for it if it works.

Every week we settle duels on time and pay the standings publicly on the payouts page. Eight weeks of that is all the evidence we can offer before November, and it is the evidence we would want.

Make content about fantasy?

Same deal, second door. You get a page of your own — Beat Me — where your audience connects the team they already manage and challenges yours. A counter that goes up while you read the comments, and your record against everybody who tried.

And the same 23% of our fee from everyone who came through you, for as long as they play. Same first-touch rule, same monthly payments, same never-a-share-of-losses.

One line in return: say it is a partnership in the content itself — #ad in the post, said out loud in the video, not buried in a description. That is the FTC's rule, not ours, and we would want it said anyway.

Ask for an arena — usually live the same day.
