I'm a financial advisor who used to compete in collegiate Valorant and streamed for a while.

Now I work with esports players and content creators on the financial side of their careers.

The money side of this industry is messier than it looks. I help people get ahead of it.

[Mason Holin @MenaceBTW]

Most esports players and creators are figuring out the financial side alone.

The ones who navigate it well usually have the same thing in common.

A small team of professionals working together:

- A CPA who understands the industry and how your income is classified
- An esports attorney who reviews contracts before you sign them
- A financial advisor who connects the dots between income, taxes, and long term planning

Not everyone needs all three right away. It depends on where you are in your career.

But knowing these roles exist and what each one does puts you ahead of most people in this space.

Won prize money at a tournament?

The IRS treats it as ordinary income, the same as a paycheck.

A few things most players don't know:

- State taxes apply based on where the event was held, not where you live
- Win at a LAN in California, you may owe California taxes even if you live in Texas
- International tournaments can withhold a portion of your prize before it ever reaches you
