Most gifts get unwrapped, admired for an afternoon, and quietly slide to the back of a shelf. A ralli gift does something different — it turns your recipient into someone's biggest fan, and turns a birthday, a graduation, or a "just because" into a real chapter in an athlete's story.
This guide walks through exactly how gifting on ralli works, the two flavours to choose from, and the moments they were made for.
The two ways to gift ralli
We kept it deliberately simple. There are two gifting options — one recurring, one one-off — and both drop your recipient straight into the action.
1. Gift a membership
A full ralli membership, prepaid by you, for someone else. They get everything a regular member gets:
- Monthly credits to allocate to the athletes they choose to back.
- ralli Rewards™ — points earned when their backed athletes hit verified milestones, redeemable in the Vault for merch, event access, signed pieces and more.
- Voting rights on community decisions and Vault drops.
- A member dashboard to track progress, milestones and impact.
You choose the tier (Bronze $25, Silver $49, Gold $99, Platinum $249 per month) and the duration (1, 3, 6 or 12 months). All prices are in USD. The recipient gets the full stack of credits upfront to allocate however they like, plus the ongoing perks for the length of the gift.
Best for: someone who's ready to be a proper backer — a parent, sibling, partner, or the friend who already talks about "their" athlete.
2. Gift a backer boost
A one-off credit gift — no subscription, no ongoing commitment. Perfect when you want the feeling of a ralli gift without asking the recipient to sign up long-term.
- Choose $50, $100, or $250 USD.
- The full amount lands in their ralli wallet as credits.
- They allocate it to any athlete on the platform — one, several, or split however feels right.
- No auto-renew, no card on file, no strings.
Best for: casual gifting, discovery gifts, group presents, secret santa, or when you want to give the experience of backing without committing them to a subscription.
How gifting actually works — step by step
- You visit rallihq.co/gift and pick your gift type (Membership or Backer Boost).
- You choose the amount — tier + duration for a membership, or $50 / $100 / $250 for a boost.
- You add the recipient's name, email and an optional personal message. This is the note they'll see when they redeem.
- You check out securely. Payment is processed in USD. Local currency estimates are shown as a courtesy so you know roughly what you're spending in your own money.
- They receive a beautiful email with your message and a unique gift code (memberships start with
GIFT-, boosts start withBOOST-). - They redeem in seconds at rallihq.co/redeem-gift — either into a brand-new ralli account or their existing one.
- Credits and perks land immediately. They can start allocating to athletes the moment redemption completes.
Why a ralli gift lands differently
It's a gift with meaning built in
Wine gets drunk. Candles get burned. A ralli gift plugs the recipient into a real athlete's journey — training logs, milestones, wins, setbacks — and quietly says "I thought you'd love being part of this."
It's shared, not consumed
When their backed athlete lands a national call-up or a personal best, your recipient feels it too. That shared moment — often months after the gift itself — is where the value compounds.
It's active, not passive
Every credit is a choice. Who to back, how much to put behind them, whether to double down or spread it out. A ralli gift asks the recipient to participate, which is exactly why it sticks in the memory.
It rewards them back
Members earn ralli Rewards™ points on verified athlete milestones. That means the gift keeps giving — Vault drops, merch, signed pieces, event access — long after the initial excitement.
It's frictionless to give
No sizes, no shipping, no wrong colours, no import duties. Enter an email, pay, done. It arrives instantly, wherever they are in the world.
Occasions a ralli gift was made for
Birthdays
For the person who "has everything" and always says "please, no more stuff." A Silver or Gold membership, or a $100 boost, is a birthday present they'll actually remember six months later — when their athlete makes finals.
Graduations
Perfect for anyone finishing school, uni, or a coaching qualification. A 3-month membership introduces them to the world of grassroots sport backing at exactly the moment they're figuring out what to care about next.
Christmas & holiday gifting
Ideal secret santa or stocking-stuffer. A $50 boost is the same price point as a nice bottle of wine, but with a story attached and zero storage required.
Father's Day, Mother's Day, Grandparent gifts
Parents and grandparents love watching young talent rise. A membership gives them a season-long ringside seat on a young athlete's journey — and rewards to enjoy along the way.
Congratulations & thank-yous
New job, new baby, big move, generous favour. A one-off backer boost is a graceful "I appreciate you" without the weight of a proper present.
Sympathy or encouragement
When someone's going through a hard patch, a boost gift in the name of an athlete they admire can be a quietly beautiful gesture — a reminder that perseverance is worth backing.
Team, club or corporate gifts
Recognising a coach, a volunteer, a long-serving team member? A Gold or Platinum membership signals real appreciation and aligns with the values of the community you're thanking them for.
"Just because"
Some of the best gifts have no occasion. A $50 boost dropped in someone's inbox on a random Tuesday, with a note that says "thought of you," is genuinely lovely.
Membership vs backer boost — which one?
Quick guide:
- They already follow grassroots sport / love a specific athlete → Membership. Give them the full experience.
- You want to introduce them gently to ralli → Backer boost. Low friction, no subscription mindset.
- Big life milestone (grad, birthday, retirement) → Membership, longer duration.
- Group / office / secret santa → $50 boost.
- Serious thank-you → Gold or Platinum membership, 3+ months.
- You're not sure what they'll do with it → Boost. They can allocate however they like with no ongoing commitment.
The small print, made simple
- All gift pricing is in USD. Local currency amounts shown at checkout are estimates only.
- Gift codes are single-use and tied to the recipient's email.
- Membership gifts do not auto-renew — when the gifted period ends, the recipient can choose to continue on their own card or leave it there.
- Boost credits work exactly like member credits once redeemed — they can be allocated to any athlete on the platform.
- Contributions on ralli are not charitable donations. Every athlete withdrawal is reviewed and must be career-progression related.
