Skoris, online football club management game

How it is funded

A free football manager, and here is how

A free game always gets funded somehow. It may as well tell you which way.

Skoris

In the game

No paywalled features, no advertising, no advantage for sale. The game runs on voluntary Ko-fi donations.

Elo 1000 The shared starting point for every club.
5 tiers Bronze through Challenger, earned on the pitch.

So who pays?

Skoris is funded by voluntary Ko-fi donations and nothing else. No ad network, no item shop, no subscription that unlocks features. A manager who supports the project gets no in-game advantage: no player, no money, no progression bonus. That is deliberately bad business, and it is the only way to keep the ranking rewarding preparation rather than a credit card.

What is included, what is never for sale

Included at no cost

Club creation, the starting squad, league play, Elo-ranked competitive matches, the cup, the academy, training, the stadium, sponsors, the transfer market, federations and the forum.

Never sold

Players, credits, experience points, accelerated progress, ranking positions, sponsor objectives and academy slots.

What that actually changes

A ranking worth reading

Elo starts at 1000 for everyone and climbs through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and Challenger. Nobody buys a position.

No interruptions

No banners, no video to watch before continuing, no energy meter to refill.

Pacing, not a paywall

Waiting periods exist because the game runs across days, not to sell you a shortcut.

An open project

The game is in alpha and built in the open. The full rules are published in the handbook rather than hidden behind progress.

Frequently asked questions

Are there in-app purchases?

No. There is no shop, no paid item and no subscription. Support goes through Ko-fi only and grants nothing in game.

Does donating give an advantage?

None at all. No free player, no credits, no progression bonus, no badge that affects a result. The return is making the project viable, not winning a match.

Is there advertising?

No, and there is no third-party ad network or advertising tracker either. What is collected is set out in the privacy policy.

Could the game become paid later?

The current model rests on voluntary donations. Any change would be announced publicly and would not introduce a competitive advantage you can buy.
