Profile & Settings

Control how others see you and how the platform works for you.

Your Public Profile

Your public profile is visible to other Nitrade users (depending on your privacy settings). It shows:

  • Username, avatar, banner image, and bio
  • Country and region
  • Games you play and your linked in-game handles
  • Tournament history and results
  • Team memberships
  • Recent posts and activity
  • Achievements and badges
  • Overall win rate and prize money earned
💡

A complete, detailed profile increases your chances of being invited to private tournaments and found by potential teammates.
