GameVote is a cloud-based voting platform designed specifically for sporting clubs and teams. It streamlines the process of collecting, collating, and reporting player votes, eliminating manual paperwork and saving team managers and coaches hours of administrative work.

GameVote is designed for team managers, coaches, club administrators, and sporting organizations who need to manage player voting for awards, performance tracking, or peer recognition. It works for teams of all sizes and across various sports.

GameVote is sport-agnostic and works with any team sport including afl, football, basketball, cricket, netball, rugby, hockey, and more. The platform is flexible enough to accommodate the voting needs of any sporting code.

GameVote is available as both a web application (accessible through any browser) and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Team officials benefit from downloading the mobile app, but voters can participate via web browser, SMS, or QR codes without needing to install anything.

Getting started is easy! Sign up for a Team or Club plan, create your account, add your team members and officials, configure your voting template, and you're ready to go. The entire setup process typically takes less than 30 minutes.

Most teams complete their initial setup in 15-30 minutes. This includes adding your players, assigning team officials, and configuring your voting preferences. You can start collecting votes immediately after setup.

Not at all! GameVote is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. If you can use email and basic apps, you can use GameVote. We also provide support and guidance if you need any help.

GameVote offers multiple voting methods for maximum flexibility: mobile app voting, web browser voting, SMS voting, and QR code scanning. Voters can use whichever method is most convenient for them.

Voting templates define how your voting process works. GameVote provides two main templates:

Each template can be customized to match your specific requirements.
