Officials stop chasing payments
Once you release a payment it goes out by direct deposit, so officials stop asking your office where their money is.
Official payments
Pay your officials without the busywork
Organizations fund a digital wallet in GameSource and pay officials from it by direct deposit. Pay ties to the games officials actually worked, and the same data feeds 1099 handling — GameSource generates and files officials' 1099-NEC forms — so there's no separate payment app and no chasing totals later.
Paying officials is harder than it should be
Why official pay gets messy
When pay lives in a separate app and a stack of spreadsheets, every game becomes its own reconciliation project.
Running a separate payment app — or writing checks — alongside the platform that already tracks your games.
Officials asking "where's my money?" because they can't see when they'll be paid.
Reconciling each payment back to the games an official actually worked.
Rebuilding year-end totals by hand when it's time to prepare 1099s.
How GameSource pays officials
From a funded wallet to a direct deposit
-
Fund a digital wallet
Your organization funds a digital wallet in GameSource, so the money to pay officials lives in the same platform that runs your games.
-
Pay from completed games
Pay is tied to the games officials actually worked, so each payment maps back to real assignments — not a separate list you maintain by hand.
-
Officials receive direct deposit
Officials are paid by direct deposit, and funds typically arrive within 1–2 business days after a payment is released — no requesting, no waiting on a check.
-
Records ready for year end
The same payment data feeds the 1099-NEC forms GameSource files with the IRS for your officials — so year end builds itself instead of becoming a project. See 1099 handling →
From a director of officials
"One thing that officials in particular have loved is they no longer have to request their money. Once I pay them it automatically transfers to their bank account."
Pay stays tied to real games
Every payment maps back to the games an official actually worked, so the numbers always reconcile.
One source for pay and tax
The same data that pays officials feeds the 1099-NEC forms GameSource files with the IRS for you — one platform, not three.
