GamersPlatoon benefits:

  • Dedicated channels in our Teamspeak server. You may have private channels as well as public. We will migrate all of your ranks and tags into our server if you wish. Although we promote socialising with other communities, we respect your independence and privacy. We give you the opportunity to administrate your Teamspeak channels to include having passwords on your channels, without forcing you to interact with the community.
  • Upon request, leaders will be given admin rights to servers located in their region.
  • You can take part in our events, tournaments and competitions without charge and stand a chance of winning cash rewards and other prizes.
  • You can earn GPP which you can invest in your own GamersPlatoon bank account at 2% weekly interest rate, convert into hard cash, or even use to purchase games along with other promotional items attire from the GP Market.
  • Dedicated forums on our website. You may have as many moderators as you like with the option to have private forums. This feature is not only directed towards communities that do not have their own forums but is also a major benefit for communities that are looking for growth and advertisement.
  • You will be able to access pool of clan-less members who are looking to join a clan. This is a major benefit for clans that are looking for growth.
  • You will be protected. We only allow clans/communities to recruit members from GamersPlatoon that are not already part of a clan/community under the GamersPlatoon umbrella. This is our responsibility and aim to grow your clan/community. However, if there is a mutual agreement between both parties that a player/s can be recruited from either side, then you may do so.
  • We are always headhunting for talent in GamersPlatoon whether it be Server Admins, Teamspeak Officers or Senior Management positions. All the staff at GamersPlatoon Organization receive monthly pay checks in the form of GP Points as a reward for their efforts in the community. Simply apply in our forums or on Teamspeak and our staff will assist you.
