YES! search their profile anytime and send likes anytime, from anywhere.
Can I share with my friends?
You betcha. Click the present

What are “likes” ?
That is our internal currency. You purchase likes to fill you wallet and send them to athletes as support. Each like = $1.

Not yet. We want to create a safe space for athletes and fans so we have limited this for now. We promise we are working on this.
Can I chat with other fans in the platform?
We would love that. Use the chat feature in Play Cast and talk with each other about game changing plays and find more fans to join your tribe.
Athlete Faqs
What do I need to do to start earning?
Go play. Seriously, that’s it. We believe you should be able to maximize your NIL without having to be an “influencer” or engage in time consuming marketing deals. You will have to do a small quid pro quo to release the payout, but we promise it's easy.
Can I donate my support to a charity or to other players on my team?
Sure can. We can make that the campaign on your profile or you can choose to donate after we pay you.
Do I have to have an exclusive agreement with you?
Definitely NOT. We want you to maximize your earning potential and we will not stand in the way of that.
Legal Faqs
Is this pay for play?
No. It's not pay-for-play, because no player is being compensated for playing for a specific university. We have exceptional legal counsel with Blank Rome and they keep us compliant plus.
What about quid pro quo in NIL?
Our payouts follow all federal and NCAA regulations around how athletes are allowed to be compensated. This includes athletes doing something in exchange for payment
