Case Study: EVO USA automates global prize payouts with Payment Labs

How EVO, the Largest Fighting Game Tournament, Used Payment Labs To Quickly And Compliantly Distribute Their Prize Pool Onsite In Las Vegas

EVO USA, a major global fighting game tournament, faced significant challenges in manually processing tax information and distributing prize money to winners from around the world. The previous process was time-consuming and difficult to manage for thousands of international participants. This prompted them to seek a solution from Payment Labs.

Payment Labs implemented its automated payment system to handle the entire prize payout process. The solution streamlined global payments, ensured tax compliance, and provided dedicated on-site support. As a result, Payment Labs enabled EVO to efficiently distribute over $1.7 million in prize money to gamers in 55 countries using 43 different currencies, completing over 1,000 payments.
