Getting Started with Game Set Engage

Set up your club and launch your first fan campaign in under 30 minutes

Welcome to Game Set Engage

Game Set Engage is the fan engagement platform built for sports clubs of every size. Whether you run a Sunday league side or a national organisation, you get the same tools to connect with supporters, grow your community, and turn match-day attention into revenue.

This guide takes you from a blank account to your first live campaign. Set aside about 30 minutes and work through it in order.

Step 1: Create your club account

Head to the club sign-up page and start with your email address. We send a verification link so we know it's really you.

  1. Enter your email on the "For Clubs" sign-up screen
  2. Open the verification email and click the link
  3. Set your name and password, then accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
  4. You're signed in and ready to build your club

Step 2: Set up your club

Next, tell us about your club. This is the identity fans see when they find you in the mobile app.

  • Club name — what your supporters call you
  • Sport — pick the sport you play
  • Home ground — your stadium or pitch name
  • Google Maps link — paste it and we fill in your city and country automatically

Step 3: Choose your plan

Pick the plan that matches the size of your fanbase. You can start free and upgrade whenever you grow.

Plan Fans included Price
Local Up to 1,000 Free
City Up to 10,000 $199/mo
National Up to 100,000 $1,999/mo
Global Up to 1,000,000 $19,900/mo

Not sure yet? Start on Local. It's free, and upgrading later takes a couple of clicks. You can compare every plan on the pricing page.

Step 4: Add your club logo

Upload a logo so your club looks the part everywhere fans see you. A square image of 400×400px or larger works best. You can skip this for now and add it later from Club Settings.

The optional logo upload step at the end of onboarding

That's onboarding done. You land on your dashboard — the home base for everything that follows.

Step 5: Invite your crew

You don't have to run everything alone. Invite team members so they can help manage events and campaigns.

Go to Club Management → Team, send an invite by email, and your crew member gets their own login. For a full walkthrough, see the Inviting and managing your team guide.

Step 6: Launch your first campaign

Campaigns are how you engage fans and reward loyalty. Open Campaigns → Create New and the builder walks you through it step by step.

Here's a quick look at the campaign types you can run:

  • Event Check-In — fans check in on match day and earn points based on where they watch: 5× at the stadium, 3× at a partner venue, 1× at home
  • Deal Code — share an exclusive discount code with your fans
  • QR-Based — place QR codes around your venue for fans to scan
  • Survey — collect feedback and reward fans for answering
  • Prediction — fans predict match outcomes and earn points for getting them right
  • Auction — fans bid their engagement points on experiences and memorabilia

Tip: Event Check-In is the most popular first campaign. It's simple to set up and gives you attendance data from day one.

For the full builder walkthrough, read Creating your first campaign. To compare every type, see Campaign types explained.

Step 7: Watch your results

Once a campaign is live, your dashboard and the campaign analytics screens show you what's happening:

  • Total engagement — how many fans are taking part
  • Campaign performance — which campaigns pull the most interest
  • Fan growth — how your supporter base is building over time
  • Check-in locations — where fans are watching

Use what you learn to do more of what works. The Campaign analytics and reports guide shows you how to read every number.
