Run an Esports Event with Photo and File Upload: Receipts, IDs and More (2026)
By KITAMEN Esports Solutions • June 2026
Executive Summary
- Esports events constantly need a photo or document at sign-up: a payment receipt, a student ID, a consent form for a minor.
- Collecting these over WhatsApp and email is where organizer admin goes to die.
- Dafta lets players upload photos and files inside the registration form itself, stored privately and verified in one tap, for free.
Deep Dive: Why File Upload Belongs Inside the Registration Form
The moment an event involves money or eligibility, you need proof. A payment receipt for the entry fee, a student ID for a campus-only bracket, a parental consent form for under-18 players. The default workflow is to ask for these over WhatsApp, then match each screenshot back to a spreadsheet row by hand. It is slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit.
Dafta moves the upload into the form. File upload is a built-in custom question type (alongside short text, dropdowns, checkboxes, and numbers), and there is a dedicated entry-fee receipt upload. A player attaches the photo or document from their phone as they register, and it lands attached to their roster entry, not in a separate inbox.
From your live roster you open an entry, view the file, and mark it verified or rejected in one tap. Every action is logged, so disputes have a trail. The form stops being a data-entry chore and becomes the single record for each participant.
Local Insight: Receipts, Student IDs and Consent, the Malaysian Way
Because Malaysian events run on DuitNow and bank transfers, receipt upload is the feature organizers feel first: no more chasing payment screenshots in a group chat the night before. Campus and school organizers can require a student ID upload to enforce eligibility, and events with junior players can collect a consent form the same way.
Sensitive files like payment proofs and ID documents sit in private storage behind signed, expiring links, in line with Malaysia PDPA 2010. Dafta does not sell participant data, and access is scoped to the organizer. It is operated by SERENITILABS SDN. BHD..

Frequently Asked Questions
Can players upload a photo or file in a Dafta registration form?
Yes. Dafta supports file upload as a custom question type, and a dedicated entry-fee receipt upload. Players can attach a photo or document straight from their phone when they sign up, with no separate email or WhatsApp thread.
What can organizers collect by file upload?
Common uploads are payment receipts (DuitNow or bank transfer), student IDs for campus events, parental consent forms for minors, rank or profile screenshots, and team logos. Any document your event needs can be a file-upload custom question.
Where are uploaded files stored, and is it safe?
Uploaded files such as payment proofs and ID documents are kept in private storage behind signed, expiring links, so they are not publicly browsable. This aligns with Malaysia PDPA 2010 expectations for handling participant data.
How do I verify an uploaded payment receipt?
On your live roster you open the player entry, view the uploaded receipt, and mark it verified or rejected in one tap. There is no chasing screenshots over WhatsApp, and every entry keeps an audit trail.
Is photo and file upload available for free?
Yes. File upload custom questions and entry-fee receipt upload are part of the free Dafta organizer toolkit; there is no cost to collect or verify uploads.
