Create and Connect Your Account With Stripe (Adults 18+) – SportLynx LLC

Referees can receive electronic payments through Stripe Express Accounts.

These instructions apply to referees in the United States.

Before You Begin

Have the following information available:

Your legal name, date of birth, address, and Social Security number
Bank account and routing numbers or debit card
A government-issued ID, in case Stripe requests additional verification

Starting Point

Go to the Payments screen in your referee center to start the process. There is a "Set up Stripe account" button on the overview and Setup tabs. Click the button to get started setting up your Stripe account.

Step 1: Enter Your Information

When Stripe asks for information about the individual or account holder, enter your:

Legal name
Actual date of birth
Home address
Social Security number

Unless you operate through a legally established business, select Individual as the business type.

Step 3: Add a Bank Account or Debit Card

For the most reliable verification, use one of the following:

A checking or savings account in your name. The account must be able to receive ACH deposits.
A debit card in your name

Stripe may verify the bank account/debit card’s ownership and, for a bank account, request a bank statement, voided check, or bank letter.

Step 4: Submit the Account for Verification

After all information is entered:

Review the information for accuracy.
Accept the required Stripe agreements.
Submit the account.
Watch for email or text messages from Stripe requesting additional information.

Payments cannot be deposited until Stripe finishes verification and enables payouts.

Important Reminders

Always use your actual date of birth.
Use the your Social Security number in fields requesting the referee’s tax information.
SportLynx does not receive or store the full Social Security numbers or bank-account credentials entered into Stripe.
