Frequently asked questions

The unified ecosystem for everyone who builds, creates, competes, and powers the gaming industry. You get a profile that carries your whole gaming story, tournaments to compete in, communities organised by game and interest, a job board built for the games industry, and a blog where the community writes about what it actually plays.

Yes. Creating an account, building a profile, joining communities, entering open tournaments, browsing games, and applying to jobs are all part of the free tier. Paid plans add extra sub-profiles, publishing and monetisation tools, analytics, and an ad-free experience — see the pricing page for the current tiers.

Sign up with your email or continue with Google, verify your email, then run through onboarding — it asks for your handle, the games you play, and the domains you want to be known for. The whole thing takes a couple of minutes and you can change every answer later from settings.

No. Plenty of members never enter a tournament. The platform is built just as much for people who write, stream, make art, build games, or work in the industry as it is for competitors.

Your account is one identity split across seven domains — Esports & Play, Writing, Business & Strategy, Development, Content & Media, Art & Design, and Audio & Music. Each domain is its own sub-profile with its own work, stats, and audience, so your esports record and your art portfolio never have to compete for the same page.

Free accounts can keep two active sub-profiles. Paid plans raise that limit, up to all seven. You choose which domains to activate and can switch them around as your interests change.

Yes. Visibility, contact preferences, and what appears on your public page are all controlled from settings. You can keep a sub-profile private while you build it out and publish it when it is ready.

Verification reviews the evidence attached to a sub-profile — match history, published work, shipped projects, or employer confirmation — and marks the profile as verified once it checks out. Paid plans move through the review queue faster.

Browse the tournaments page, open one that is accepting registrations, and register as a solo player or with your team. Each listing shows the game, format, schedule, entry requirements, and prize pool before you commit.

Yes. Organisers and companies can create tournaments with their own format, schedule, rules, and prize structure, then manage registrations and results from the organiser dashboard.

Create a team, invite members, and register the roster as a unit. Team results attach to every member’s Esports & Play sub-profile, so your competitive history follows you even if the team disbands.

Roles across the games industry — development, art, design, audio, esports operations, community, marketing, and business. Listings come from studios, publishers, esports organisations, and creator teams with a verified company page.

Open the listing and apply with your GzoneSphere profile. The relevant sub-profile goes with the application, which means your shipped work and verified skills travel with it instead of being flattened into a one-page CV.

Create a company page, submit it for review, and post roles once it is approved. Approval exists so that everything on the job board comes from a real, checked organisation.

Yes. Blog publishing is part of the paid creator tiers. Published posts live on your Writing sub-profile and in the main blog, where they are indexed and discoverable like any other article on the site.

Through paid gigs, reader tips on published work, and sponsored opportunities from companies on the platform. Gig earnings carry a platform commission, which is lower on the Pro Creator tier — the current rates are listed on the pricing page.

A boost pushes your profile higher in discovery and talent-pool searches for a limited window. Paid plans include a monthly allowance of boosts.

Plans are managed from settings. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time; a cancelled plan keeps its features until the end of the billing period it was paid for.

Pricing is shown in INR, USD, GBP, and EUR, and the pricing page lets you switch between them. You are billed in the currency of your region.

Use the report action on the profile, post, or listing in question, or send the details through the contact page. Reports are reviewed by the moderation team and acted on against the acceptable use policy.

Account deletion is available in settings. Deleting removes your profiles, posts, and personal data as described in the privacy policy; tournament results already recorded against other players are anonymised rather than erased.

NYRA is the guide who shows up across GzoneSphere — during onboarding, on empty pages, and when something breaks. She has her own page if you want the longer story.
