SUMMARY:Webinar | Pay and Win: A Cheat Code for Creator Platform Payouts
DESCRIPTION:How game-tech platforms can crush compliance\, automate global payouts\, and unlock platform growth\nLet’s be honest: building the next great UGC or modding platform is incredibly cool. Designing tools\, watching creators go wild\, and witnessing decentralized marketplaces thrive? Peak gaming. \nBut do you know what isn’t cool? Staying up until 3:00 AM worrying about cross-border foreign exchange logistics\, hunting down international tax forms\, and trying to decipher local tax laws. \nFor B2B game-tech platforms\, helping creators monetize is only half the battle. If you want absolute market dominance\, you have to solve the ultimate boss battle that happens after the revenue rolls in: global mass payouts and compliance. When a platform scales\, they run smack into an operational minefield of W-8/W-9 forms\, regulatory red tape\, and global payment friction. If your platform can wave a magic wand and make that headache disappear\, you become completely indispensable. \nJoin IGDA and Tipalti for a fun\, straight-talking\, engaging discussion on how game-tech and monetization platforms can use automated payout rails to launch their platform’s value\, lock in studio retention\, and fuel massive ecosystem growth. \nWhat We’ll Cover: \n\nThe “Unfair Advantage” of an All-in-One Tech Stack: How embedding payout infrastructure turns your platform from a simple “nice-to-have” tool into a sticky\, permanent backend hub.\nThe Ultimate Compliance Boss Battle: A layman’s guide to the scary-sounding stuff (like DAC7 and IRS withholding)\, global payment and tax compliance hurdles\, and how to solve them seamlessly.\nBuild vs. Partner (Don’t Waste Your Devs on Side Quests): Why trying to build your own global payment rails\, KYC checks\, and tax engines internally drains your engineering team’s soul—and how partnering saves your sanity and your runway.\n\nWhether you’re a product leader\, CTO\, or biz dev exec building the next generation of game tech\, this session will show you how to embed world-class payout rails that make your infrastructure indispensable to major UGC and modding platforms. \nWho Should Attend: \n\nC-Suite & Founders at Game-Tech\, Monetization\, and UGC Platforms\nVPs & Directors of Product/Engineering who would rather build cool gaming features than tax engines\nBiz Dev & Partnership Leaders looking for the next big competitive edge\nStudio Ops & Finance Leaders tired of chasing down creators for payment details\n\nSpeakers\nTravis Hughson serves as the EMEA Business Manager at Tipalti\, equipping high-growth companies to navigate the complexities of cross-border finance. Drawing on extensive global industry experience and having lived in multiple countries\, he brings deep expertise in international payments\, multi-jurisdiction compliance\, and scaling complex operational infrastructure for gaming studios\, publishers\, and platforms worldwide. \nMatthew Merrill serves as the Principal of Product & Industry Marketing at Tipalti\, championing data-led automation strategies that help gaming platforms and publishers manage complex global finance ecosystems. With extensive experience spanning finance technology\, market intelligence\, and advanced enterprise solutions\, he brings a seasoned perspective on how platforms and studios can eliminate operational friction and focus on building great games. \nJordan Tite serves as an Alliance Manager at Tipalti\, leveraging firsthand gaming and esports industry expertise to help organizations navigate strategic growth through partnerships. With nearly a decade of experience building esports business verticals at Nielsen and driving SaaS and influencer campaign launches at Stream Hatchet\, he brings a unique\, insight-driven approach on how gaming brands\, leagues\, and platforms can seamlessly scale. \n RSVP Now!
