Answers about the Esports League Hub platform, the leagues on the network, supported titles, minors and guardian consent, NIL services, pricing and sponsorship.
- What is Esports League Hub?
- Esports League Hub is a white-label esports league and tournament platform. Organizers launch a branded league on their own subdomain at hub.esportsleaguehub.com with automated brackets, player registration, PayPal entry fees and prize payouts, live stream embeds and sponsor ad slots. The same platform powers the managed leagues of the Dakdan Esports network. It is operated by Fanz, LLC, a Dakdan Worldwide company headquartered in Severance, Colorado.
- How much does Esports League Hub cost?
- There is a Free plan for your first bracket with no card required. Paid plans are Starter at $25 per month, Pro at $75 per month and Elite at $249 per month, with annual billing saving about two months. There are no setup fees and we never take a cut of prize pools.
- Do you take a cut of prize pools?
- No. Organizers pay a flat subscription. Entry fees are captured through PayPal, pooled server-side and paid out to winners after results are final. Organizers keep their affiliate revenue share, which ranges from 50 percent on Starter to 80 percent on Elite.
- Which bracket formats are supported?
- Single elimination and round robin are live today, with seeding and automatic advancement. Double elimination and Swiss formats are in development.
- Which game titles does the platform support?
- The platform is title-agnostic. Organizers configure the title, format, scoring and rules per tournament. Game titles and publishers referenced on this site are trademarks of their respective owners and are not affiliated with Esports League Hub.
- Is it safe for players under 18?
- Yes. A COPPA-compliant age gate runs at registration before any minor data is collected, and youth competitions follow the Youth Protection policy. Managed leagues for schools add parent or guardian consent and eligibility review. See the Privacy Policy for details.
- Which leagues run on Esports League Hub?
- The Dakdan Esports network: Esports High School League, Esports Community College League, Esports Collegiate League, Senior Esports League and Armed Forces Esports League. These are managed seasons operated by Sports Media, Inc. on the same platform organizers use for self-serve leagues.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Every league starts on a free subdomain (yourbrand.esportsleaguehub.com). Custom domains are on the roadmap for paid tiers.
- Does Esports League Hub offer NIL services for esports athletes?

Any athlete in any league on the platform can register free for a verified profile, a designed logo and merch store, verified brand opportunities and a compliance center covering state rules, school disclosures and FTC tags. There is no agent and no percentage taken from any deal. Athletes under 18 register with a parent or guardian who approves the account. The Elite plan will add an in-hub roster integration showing which of your athletes are registered and compliant.
