Frequently Asked Questions

What is FanSpark?

FanSpark is a fan-powered subscription social content platform that lets athletes, teams, and sports analysts connect with sports fans around the world by delivering premium and exclusive social content to the fans who care most.

Who can be a Creator on FanSpark?

Sports are one of the few things that connect every community, culture, and country, across every age and language. So we support athletes of all types, all ages, all levels, and all sports. Pros, amateurs, college athletes, sports influencers, and even analysts/commentators - if you're making content about sports, you're welcome to become a creator on FanSpark.

Who can be a fan on FanSpark?

We're open to all sports fans over the age of 14. (We know - we're sorry. It's a legal thing.) If you want to find, follow, discover, explore, and support athletes, teams, and creators all around the world, or if you just love the competition, skill, strategy, and community of sports, you can be a fan on FanSpark.

How can I sign up as a Creator?

Apply to be a creator here! It takes about six minutes to apply, and we'll need some basic info to get going. Then our admins can make sure you're actually who you say you are (no imitation accounts please - that violates our terms of service), take a look at your content, and let you know if you're approved (most sports and athlete accounts will be.)

How do Creators earn revenue on FanSpark?

FanSpark Creators set monthly subscription prices in exchange for exclusive content. Fans can subscribe to enjoy your content and support the athletes, teams, and creators they love.

How are Creators paid on FanSpark?

The short and simple answer is that Creators earn 80% of all revenue generated from these subscriptions (after a small transaction fee to cover credit card processing) and FanSpark retains the other 20% to support the platform and continue building out new features for you and your fans.

The more detailed answer is that during account setup, Creators will be asked to create or connect a Stripe account so you can be paid directly. We've set up our system to pay out your net proceeds every month once you've earned at least $100 - this minimizes any transaction fees from payment partners or your bank. Don't worry, if you don't cross the $100 threshold one month, we'll hold that amount and combine it with your next month's earnings until you do, to minimize any transfer costs and ensure you can keep more of the money you earn.

We also hold payments for one month after the end of payment cycle strictly as a fraud prevention tool. This lets us investigate any potentially fraudulent or scam accounts, and stop fan payments from being sent to fake or impersonation accounts, scams, or stolen content - all of which makes fans less likely to stick around and continue subscribing to FanSpark creators like you. So if you've earned more than $100 in January, for example, you'll be paid out in March, while February subscription revenue gets paid in April. If you decide to leave FanSpark for any reason, your money is still yours, and it will be paid out on the same schedule.

What type of content can Creators share with their fans on FanSpark?

Our content policy is here, but the short version is "be nice and keep it PG-13 - beyond that, let your personality shine." We allow videos, photos and photo collections, text posts, and polls for now, and we'll continue adding new options and new ways to interact with your fans throughout 2025 and 2026.

How is content moderated on FanSpark?

We use a combination of administrator review, user reports, and automated tools to identify and remove content that violates our Terms of Use or otherwise degrades the FanSpark experience. We know that sometimes conversations and posts are nuanced, and that interpreting someone's intention takes some consideration, so we don't rely exclusively on AI or automated tools.

What features are available for athletes to interact with fans?

Check out some of our current features. Our plan is to add more every few weeks as we grow.

How can I discover new Creators on FanSpark?

Our Discovery page immerses you in sports and personalities you may never have known, so if you're looking to explore, we've got you covered. But you probably have some favorite sports, teams, and players, so you can use our search feature to narrow down the list and start supporting your faves. But athletes are sports fans too, so don't be surprised if you find a basketball creator commenting in a same rugby thread, or a gold medalist giving tips to an up-and-coming competitor. And speaking of competition, we're working on a few things to help the best creators really stand out and help fans find the most engaging content on FanSpark, so stay tuned...

What is Scouting and how is different from Subscribing?

Subscribing is a paid subscription to a Creator's content. But if you're not sure about whether you want to subscribe, that's where scouting comes in. Scouting lets you see all of a Creator's free content so that you get a sense of who they are and what their content is like before subscribing. Think of it as a free preview dropped right into your main feed.

What do I do if I encounter a problem or have a question?

Reach out to us at support@fanspark.pro for any questions or concerns.

Stripe is asking me for a website and/or product description - what do I put?

These are required fields for Stripe approval. If it asks you for a website, you can put www.fanspark.pro. If you’re asked for a Product Description, put “Subscription Content.”

Why Do You Block GenAI Content On FanSpark?

FanSpark is about celebrating, discovering, and supporting sports talent all around the world. But let’s be honest: content made by Generative AI doesn’t have any sports talent. It misses the critical elements of hard work, skill, and strategy that make athletes and sports so compelling.

A great football play that never happened isn’t interesting. An incredible basketball shot that no one actually attempted isn’t cool. An amazing save by a goalkeeper who only ever existed in a server farm isn’t worth sharing. And worse, when you find out they’re just GenAI, it feels like you’ve been tricked, or that someone won because they cheated.

So we want to keep FanSpark free from GenAI, and let true athletes shine.

How To Be Successful On FanSpark. (Best Practices)

Let your fans know about your FanSpark account! The easiest way to do this is to share a link to your profile on your main socials, or to directly share a Discovery Video on your other pages. Look for more sharing options coming soon, that will make it even easier to let your fans know about new FanSpark content!

Authentic content always wins. Remember, Subscription content is for your biggest/closest fans, so think more “narrowcast” than broadcast. Make your subscription content for your biggest fans, who know you best - not just what’s trending right now.

Post exclusive content! That might mean you’re making content just for FanSpark, or posting to FanSpark before you post somewhere else. But most fans won't pay for content that they can get for free somewhere else, so make sure to give your fans a reason to subscribe on FanSpark!

Discovery videos are public, and viewable by anyone on the site, so this is where new fans can find you! Make sure to post a Discovery video whenever you can - especially as you're building your core fanbase on FanSpark! Use them to showcase your personality and give your soon-to-be-new-fans a sense of what content they’ll see if they subscribe.

We’re building new features all the time, so let us know what you need to succeed. We’re rolling out a ton of new features throughout the rest of 2025, but there’s always room for more! So if we’re not already building it, let us know what you need, and we might be able to roll it out soon!

Last, and most importantly: remember you’re the very first fans and creators on FanSpark, so you have the opportunity to shape the culture and tone of the entire platform. Take advantage of this to help make FanSpark the kind of app and the kind of community you want to spend time in. We built FanSpark to support athletes and sports fans around the world, and now we hand it over to all of you. We can’t wait to see where you take it from here!

In short: post exclusive, authentic content, let your fans know where to find it, and let us know what you want from FanSpark! Beyond that: have fun, and make FanSpark yours!

What’s The Difference Between Exclusive/Subscription Content And Discovery Content?
