Welcome to NIL Clubs! Here’s a quick guide to help you get started and make the most of your NIL Club experience.

What is NIL Club?

NIL Club is an online platform that allows you, as a student-athlete, to connect with your biggest supporters, including family, friends, and fans. By sharing exclusive content and updates, you can engage with your supporters and earn money to support your journey as a student-athlete. You must be 13 years or older to have an account, and you should ask your parent or guardian for permission to create an account if you’re under 18 years old.

  2. Open the app and sign up using your mobile number.

How to Engage with Supporters

Share Content:

  1. Post exclusive updates, photos, and videos to keep your supporters engaged.

Compensation:

Withdrawals:

  1. If you are under the legal age of eighteen (18), or the age of majority in your jurisdiction or state of residence, your parent or legal guardian must read and consent to these terms and must facilitate the associated PayPal or Venmo account setup.
