From Overworked Booster to Retroglad
Retroglad started with one simple realization: the people doing the hard work in this industry – the boosters – are usually the ones getting the worst deal.
After working as a World of Warcraft booster on big sites like Overgear, we saw how most platforms operate: customers pay full price, the site instantly takes a massive cut, and then boosters are forced to bid against each other for whatever is left over.
On a typical $100 order, a booster might see:
- Site takes 40–50% instantly;
- Then a bidding war drops the booster’s share closer to 30%;
- The platform quietly walks away with 60–70% of the value.
That’s not “gaming”; that’s exploitation.
Retroglad flips that logic: our boosters are our teammates, not replaceable cogs. We want them excited to log in, proud to represent the brand, and properly rewarded for helping our customers climb.
