Launch Tournaments for Your Fans and Earn with Hotly

Why Creators Are Launching Tournaments

Social posts are passive. Tournaments are interactive.

Your audience already watches your content — now give them something to play.

Hotly tournaments help you:

  • Boost engagement through fun, fast-paced games
  • Reward fans with prizes, shoutouts, or exclusive content
  • Monetize attention with optional entry fees
  • Add something new and playful to your creator brand

It’s lightweight, social, and built to go viral.

Fan engagement boost


Step 1: Pick a Game That Fits Your Vibe

Choose from Hotly’s growing collection of mini-games — trivia, tower climb, bingo, and more.
They're short, addictive, and designed for competitive fun.

Every game comes with a leaderboard and scoring logic built-in, so all you need to do is select the one that matches your audience’s energy.


Step 2: Brand the Game with Your Identity

Make it yours in seconds.

  • Add your profile pic or logo
  • Upload a background or theme
  • Customize titles, instructions, and winner messages

The result feels personal and creator-led — not just another random game.


Step 3: Choose Entry Type — Free or Paid

You’re in control.

  • Want to grow reach? Keep it free and encourage fans to share
  • Want to earn? Add an entry fee and reward the winners
  • Want to reward loyalty? Give exclusive access to top fans or your community

You can change the entry setting anytime.


Step 4: Add Simple, Motivating Prizes

Prizes don’t need to be expensive — they just need to feel rewarding.

You can add:

  • Gift cards (Amazon, Zomato, etc.)
  • Cash payouts
  • Shoutouts, merch, or early content access

Or keep it reward-free and let fans compete for leaderboard bragging rights.


Step 5: Share the Link and Track Performance

Once your tournament is live, just drop the link in your bio, story, or group.

From your dashboard, you’ll see:

  • Total players
  • Who’s on the leaderboard
  • How much you’ve earned
  • Who’s sharing your game

No code. No friction. Just results.
