    From tilt spending to smart spending: how gamers can break impulse buys

    From Tilt Spending to Smart Spending: Why Gamers Overspend Лet’s be honest: most “impulse buys” in games don’t feel impulsive in the moment.

    Financial plan for tournament seasons, lans and travel costs for gamers

    Why esports money planning is different Tournament seasons и LAN-выезды бьют по кошельку не как обычный отпуск.

В итоге esports player financial planning превращается не в сухую бухгалтерию, а в управление рисками: как выжать максимум из хорошего сплита и…

    Turn esports winnings into long-term wealth instead of short-term hype

    From Prize Pool to Portfolio Why Fast Money Vanishes Faster Most players discover the dark side of prize money the hard way: income is spiky, but expenses become permanent.

    What esports organizations teach us about budgeting, sponsorships and cash flow

    Why esports are a crash course in real-world finance Вehind every shiny roster and flashy jersey sits a company, not просто клуб по интересам. Топовые организации вынуждены считать деньги так же жестко, как любой малый бизнес: нестабильные призовые, дорогие игроки, лиги с разными правилами, сложные спонсорские договоры. На этом фоне esports organization business model —…

    Building a war chest: emergency funds for streamers, freelancers and esports pros

    Why creators need a “war chest”, not just a wallet If you stream on Twitch, grind as a freelance designer, or play in esports, your income is basically a roller coaster.
