Account Creation

All patrons must sign up for a free GG Leap account through the Bowling & Billiards desk to use an Arena PC. Every user needs to create a unique gamer username.

Some games require a separate free account login to be played.

  • In-App Purchases

    If patrons have a pre-existing game license under one of the four accounts listed above that’s currently not available, the game won’t be available for game play. Please email esports@siu.edu for special game requests.

  • Loading Funds

    After logging into any Esports PC, a clock will begin and account balances will be charged accordingly. To load funds into an account, visit the official Esports Arena desk in the Billiards area. SIU students/staff/faculty can use their University IDs to identify their account. Non-SIU patrons can provide a phone number tied to the account. Payments accepted are debit/credit, Debit Dawg, and cash.
