Vote rewards
Automated vote & reward processing for players that vote for the community game servers. Compatible with most popular vote sites.
Setup vote site
1. Register game server with sites
To begin you need register your game server with one of the supported vote sites. All sites require game servers to register in order to receive a special API key, which GSA uses to check whether players voted.
The registration process is different per vote site. Contact the vote site for more information how to get an API key from their site to work with GSA vote rewards.
2. Enter vote site API key
Copy the API key from the vote site for the game server you want to set up.
Each server should have a unique key. Do not reuse the API key for multiple game servers.
Enter the API key on the GSA vote site settings page for the right game server and click Save settings.
3. Done!
GSA validates new API keys after saving. You may need to reload the page to see whether it was validated.
