Is GameSource an alternative to Arbiter?

Yes. Assignors and leagues use GameSource to schedule games and assign officials, and GameSource also handles paying officials and their year-end 1099s in the same platform, plus official registration.

Can I move my officials and games to GameSource?

Yes. You can register or import officials and build or import games. For larger organizations or more complex migrations, our team can help you plan the move — just talk to sales.

Does GameSource pay officials and handle 1099s?

Yes. Organizations fund a digital wallet and pay officials by direct deposit, typically within 1–2 business days. Officials keep 100% of their pay. GameSource also prepares 1099-NEC forms from payments processed through GameSource, files them with the IRS, and makes them available to officials.

How much does GameSource cost?

Pricing scales with the size of your operation. The trial is free for 30 days with no credit card required. See the pricing page for what's included.

"I have switched from Arbiter to GameSource for assigning officials and it has been a great decision. It is super user friendly, fast, and overall a better system."

One connected platform

Register officials, build or import games, assign by availability and qualifications, pay, and handle 1099s — without exporting to a spreadsheet or a second system.

Pay officials directly

Fund a digital wallet and pay officials by direct deposit — funds typically arrive within 1–2 business days, and officials keep 100% of their pay.

1099s handled for you

GameSource verifies officials' TINs, prepares 1099-NEC forms from payments processed through GameSource, files them with the IRS, and makes them available to officials.

Built for your officials

Officials get assignment invites, accept or decline, set availability, and sync their schedule — with a GameSource mobile app coming soon.
