Getting Started

Everything you need to go from zero to competing on Nitrade.

1. Creating an Account

Nitrade is free to join. To create your account:

1

Visit the sign-up page

Click Sign Up in the top-right navigation bar or go directly to /register.
2

Enter your details

Provide your email address, choose a username, and set a strong password. Your username is your public identity on the platform — it appears on leaderboards, tournament brackets, and your profile.
3

Verify your email

Check your inbox for a verification email from Nitrade. Click the link inside to activate your account. The link expires after 24 hours.
4

Social sign-in (optional)

You can also sign in with Google, Discord, or Twitch by clicking the corresponding button on the login screen. This skips manual email verification.
💡

Use the same email address you've connected to your gaming accounts (PSN, Xbox, Steam) for easier verification later.

2. Completing Your Profile

A complete profile helps other players find you and trust you in tournaments.

1

Upload a profile picture

Go to Profile → Edit. Upload a clear avatar — this shows on your tournament entries and leaderboard rows.
2

Add a bio and country

Write a short bio describing your play style, favourite games, or competitive history. Select your country so you appear in the correct regional leaderboards.
3

Connect your gaming accounts

Under Profile → Settings → Linked Accounts, connect your PSN, Xbox Gamertag, Steam, Battle.net, or Riot ID. This enables automated stat verification for ranked tournaments.
4

Set your preferences

Visit Profile → Preferences to choose your notification settings, privacy level (public / friends-only / private), and preferred language.

4. Your Dashboard

The Dashboard is your personalised command centre. From here you can:

  • See all tournaments you're registered in or organising
  • Track active orders and marketplace listings
  • Manage your subscriptions and premium features
  • View earnings, payout history, and wallet balance
  • Access content creator tools and analytics
  • Configure personalisation and privacy settings
💡

Pin your most-used sections by clicking the star icon next to any dashboard menu item.

5. Account Security

Keep your account secure:

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): Enable under Settings → Security using an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy) or SMS.
  • Password strength: Use at least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Login notifications: You'll receive an email whenever a new device signs in to your account.
  • Active sessions: Review and revoke active sessions from any device under Settings → Security → Active Sessions.
