How to Transfer Commissioner Access to Another User

How to transfer commissioner ownership of a Splash Sports contest to a new person — what's required, how to request it, and what happens after the transfer.

Updated yesterday

If you need to hand off commissioner ownership of a contest to someone else — whether you're stepping back from the group, switching accounts, or passing the contest to a new organizer — here's how to do it.


How to Request a Transfer

Commissioner transfers are handled by the Splash Sports support team. To request one:

  1. CC the current commissioner on the email (their approval is required)

  2. Include the following in your message:

    • The contest name

    • The new commissioner's name and email address

    • Confirmation from the current commissioner that they approve the transfer

Once we receive confirmation from the current commissioner, we'll update the contest and notify both parties.


Requirements

  • The current commissioner must approve the transfer — we cannot process transfers without their explicit consent

  • The new commissioner must have an existing Splash Sports account — we transfer access to an existing account, not a new one

  • For real-money contests, the new commissioner must be verified (KYC) and in an eligible state to continue running the contest


What Happens After the Transfer

  • The new commissioner gains full access to the Commissioner tab and all contest management tools for that contest

  • The previous commissioner loses commissioner access but remains a participant if they have an entry

  • Future commissioner rewards are paid to the new commissioner's Splash wallet

  • Contest history and settings carry over unchanged


Can I Have Two Commissioners?

Splash Sports does not currently support co-commissioners. Only one account can hold commissioner access at a time. If you need help managing your contest, the current commissioner can share login access informally — but only one account will have official commissioner tools.
