How it works

One platform.
Two ways to play.

Gladiator Sports powers real-world sports tournaments end to end. Organizers create and run their own events; players find them and get paid. Pick your side below.

For organizers & teams

Run your tournament on the platform.

You bring the players and the venue — Gladiator Sports handles the busywork. No spreadsheets, no cash boxes, no IOUs.

  1. 1

    Create your event

    Choose the sport, format, field size, entry fee, and prize pool. Your event gets its own clean sign-up page to share. A one-time listing fee applies when you publish — $5 for a pickup or single game, $25 for a tournament, $50 for a season-long league — whether your event is free or paid for players.

  2. 2

    Collect entries & fees

    Players register and pay their entry fee through Stripe on secure, hosted pages. You never touch card details, and the pot is tracked to the cent.

  3. 3

    Run the bracket

    Set the draw and keep results and standings updated as the event plays out, so every team can follow along.

  4. 4

    Pay the winners

    When it's over, prize money is paid to the champions through Stripe — split evenly across their roster. No envelopes, no chasing.

Money handled for you

Entry fees in and prize money out both run through Stripe — the same secure rail. Card and bank details live with Stripe, never with you.

Solo & squad sign-ups

Take whole teams or individual free agents. The platform keeps your roster organized so you know exactly who's in.

Minors covered

Under-18 players can compete once a parent or guardian completes a quick parental waiver — the consent is on file before match day.

    Create your account

    Free, takes two minutes. One account lets you enter tournaments, track your results, and cash out your winnings.

    Find a tournament

    Browse events by sport and city. Each one shows the entry fee, format, field size, and prize pool up front — so you always know what you're stepping into.

  3. 3

    Enter & compete

    Sign up solo as a free agent or roll in with your squad, then fight through the bracket. Results update as the tournament runs.

  4. 4

    Withdraw your winnings

    Prize money credits to your account and splits evenly across the roster. Connect your bank on your account page and cash out any time.

Money, secure

Entry fees and payouts both run through Stripe. We never see or store card or bank details — they live with Stripe.

Even prize splits

Team winnings split evenly across the whole roster, automatically. Same cut for every player — no negotiating.

Play where it's allowed

Cash-prize eligibility varies by state (the list is in the footer). Free events are open everywhere in the U.S.
