RallyFuel does not release funds blindly. Every NIL transaction on the platform is verified against predefined conditions before any money reaches an athlete. This milestone validation system protects fans while ensuring NIL deals remain compliant, transparent, and enforceable.
Why Milestone Validation Matters in NIL
The NIL industry has faced ongoing trust challenges. Fans have supported athletes who later failed to meet expectations, whether by not committing to a school, losing eligibility, transferring programs, or failing to meet agreed conditions.
RallyFuel addresses this problem through built-in verification. Every transaction is tied to specific, verifiable conditions, and funds are released only after those conditions are confirmed. This verification is embedded directly into RallyFuel’s platform infrastructure.
How RallyFuel’s Verification System Works
Each transaction on RallyFuel is structured as a Conditional NIL Engagement Right (CNER) and includes predefined activation conditions. Common conditions include:
- Enrollment Verification
Confirmation that an athlete has officially enrolled at a specific institution.
- Eligibility Status
Verification that the athlete maintains NCAA eligibility requirements.
- Commitment Confirmation
Validation of a public commitment or announcement.
- Roster Status
Confirmation that the athlete appears on an official team roster.
During the Conditional Period, RallyFuel’s system verifies the relevant conditions. Every deal is timestamped, logged, and supported by documentation for compliance review.
- If conditions are met, the transaction activates and funds are released to the athlete.
- If conditions are not met within the defined period, the transaction automatically voids and a refund is issued.
Transparent Documentation and Auditability
RallyFuel’s verification process is fully documented and auditable, including:
- Timestamped Logging
Every condition check is recorded with a complete audit trail. - Fair Market Value Documentation
Executed deals include FMV documentation to support compliance reviews. - Real-Time Updates
Fans can view condition status updates directly in their RallyFuel dashboard.
This structure removes ambiguity from NIL transactions. Conditions are either satisfied or they are not, and the system handles the outcome automatically.
What Happens When Conditions Aren’t Met
If conditions are not met within the specified Conditional Period:
- The transaction automatically voids.
- The payment processor initiates a refund.
- Funds return to the fan’s original payment method.
- The athlete receives no funds from that transaction.
This protects fans from outcomes such as transfers, loss of eligibility, or unmet conditions. It also protects athletes by ensuring that only verified, compliant NIL deals are executed.
