THE CONCEPT

The whole world is watching the World Cup. We're playing for kids.

01

Two countries.
One mission.

Games For Love operates in the US and Australia. Every dollar raised stays in the country it's raised in. Your fans help YOUR kids.

02

19 days.
All gas.

Fundraise June 1 through Match Day June 19. Stream when you want. We hand you the toolkit. You bring the energy.

03

Winning country
takes the cup.

Whichever country raises the most takes home the Creator Cup. Plus a top-MVP belt for the captain who led the charge.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The kids are already in the hospital. Your stream is their field, their fight song, their moment.

THE LOOT

The belt. The cup. The bragging rights for an entire country.

GRAND PRIZE
The Creator Cup
+ MVP Championship Belt

A real, physical, custom-made cup goes to the winning country. Then a separate championship belt, wrestling-grade, mounted on a plaque, shipped to your door, goes to the top fundraising captain on the winning side. Unbox it on stream. Frame it next to your setup. This isn't an NFT. It's a wall piece.

FAQ

Common questions. Direct answers.

Do I need a minimum following?

No. Zero. Solo creators with 50 viewers are welcomed alongside creators with 50,000. The point is consistency and care, not size.

What platforms can I stream on?

Any of them. Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, and niche streaming sites. As long as the stream can be linked and tracked, it counts.

Do I have to live in USA or Australia?

No. Pick whichever country you want to rep. The fundraising goes to that country's children's hospitals regardless of where you stream from.

How does the team thing work?

You're a captain. You recruit your own team through your personal link. Or roll solo and we'll spotlight you anyway. Captains get the kit, the credit, and the leaderboard placement.

What's the PEAK Tournament?

The June 19 finale climbing event. Teams of 4 climb the mountain in PEAK, donations trigger live chaos punishments. USA vs AUS in real time on a live broadcast.

Is this tax-deductible?

Yes, for US donations (GFL is a 501(c)(3) charity). Australian donations follow ATO charity guidelines through Future Fundraising's process.

What if my country loses?

You still raised money for kids in your country. The cup is just the cherry on top. (But come on. Win.)
