Who it is for
The kinds of organizers that run Tanitar, and the people on each side who use it.
Tanitar is built for any organizer: an organization that has an audience of players and wants to run competitions, progression and rewards for them under its own brand. The platform makes no assumption about what kind of organization you are. The examples below show how different organizers use the same building blocks.
Kinds of organizer
| Organizer | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Game publisher | Run official tournaments for a title, reward in-game activity with missions and seasons, and grant badges or items that appear in the game through webhooks. |
| Community | Replace spreadsheet brackets with managed tournaments, keep players engaged between events with streaks and leaderboards, and run a shop in the community's own currency. |
| Esports organizer | Operate multi-stage events (Swiss into single elimination, round robin, best-of series), collect match evidence, correct results with a trail, and pay prizes from your own payment account. |
| Brand or sponsor | Attach a branded rewards programme to gaming activity, fund missions and prizes, and measure engagement through KPI reads and events. |
| Consumer-service provider | Offer a rewards programme to an existing customer base that signs in with the account it already has, and fulfil rewards (vouchers, bundles, loyalty points) in your own systems from webhooks. |
Whatever you are, the model is the same: you own a tenant, your players sign in with you, and every outcome is an event you can act on.
The people involved
On your side, three roles use the platform.
- Administrators: the people on your team who configure the tenant. They author missions, open seasons, create tournaments, publish shop listings, fund prizes, manage API keys, webhooks and other available account controls, and watch the KPIs. They work in the dashboard.
- Integrators: your engineering team. They assert authenticated players from your trusted backend, hold the Player-session credential, consume webhooks, and call the API wherever you want to drive the platform from your own systems. Start with the Quickstart.
- Players: your end users. They never create a Tanitar account. They arrive already signed in with you, see their missions, progress and inbox, take part in tournaments, open chests, equip badges, buy from your shop, and see what they have earned. See Player identity.
On Tanitar's side, Tanitar operators run the platform itself. They do not use your API keys or your dashboard session; their actions go through a separate, audited namespace.
