Paying Tournament Winners at Scale for Ubisoft's Hit Video Game
Blue Mammoth Games partnered with Payment Labs to automate global prize payouts for Brawlhalla tournaments, enabling the company to distribute winnings to players in 52 countries.
How Payment Labs Supports BMG's Global Tournaments
Blue Mammoth Games (BMG) is a renowned Ubisoft-owned studio best known for Brawlhalla, a free-to-play fighting game with over 100 million players. The studio regularly hosts global tournaments with large prize pools, drawing competitors from around the globe.
To manage payouts, BMG needed a solution that could efficiently distribute prize money to thousands of winners while ensuring compliance with international payment regulations and tax laws. This challenge was especially pronounced in South America, where cross-border payment infrastructure can be complex and fragmented. To address this, BMG partnered with Payment Labs, leveraging its expertise in esports payouts and automated competition payments.
Payment Labs integrated quickly and fully streamlined the payout process. The platform now handles onboarding, distribution, and compliance for BMG with minimal operational involvement.
Since implementation, BMG has paid thousands of tournament winners across 52 countries:
