Getting started with Fanzone
The Currency of Your Fanzone
Learn how your Fanzone's in-game currency works: how fans earn it by leveling up, how to customize its name, icon, and color, and how to use it to reward your most loyal fans.
As in any gamified experience, currency is a key driver of your Fanzone: it motivates fans, rewards the behaviors you want to encourage, and makes the journey more immersive and engaging.
What is the currency for?
The in-game currency is your fans' purchasing power within your Fanzone. They use it to buy rewards in your reward shop. It gives progression a concrete purpose: the more active a fan is, the more currency they earn, and the more rewards they can access.
How do fans earn currency?
Fans earn currency by leveling up. The amount earned is exponential: the higher the level reached, the more currency the fan receives at each milestone. This mechanism rewards the loyalty of your most engaged fans and encourages them to keep progressing throughout the season.
Customize your currency
Just like ranks, your Fanzone's currency is 100% customizable to reflect your brand or your community's identity. From the Style tab in your season settings, you can:
- set a custom name (for example XP, Tokens, Points, Badges);
- choose a visual icon or an image;
- assign a brand color to keep the entire interface consistent.
Best practices
- Give it a name in your own image: a currency named after your club's colors (for example "tokens") strengthens immersion.
- Stock your reward shop with rewards at different price points so that every fan, whether a newcomer or a loyal supporter, has an achievable purchase goal.
- Adjust the progression difficulty through the level scale: it determines how quickly your fans accumulate currency.
