I have another question: Is it possible to referee games for free voluntarily and have some kind of proof of that? 
 
I am asking this because I am coming to the US with a F-1 student visa which does not allow off-campus employment unless related to the course of studies (in my case it is not related at all), and non-paid refereeing activity may not be considered as employment, and hence I may have some chance of doing that. 
 
Do you have any experience to share? 
 
Thank you all!

 Non-professional referees in America are almost always independent contractors, which are not employees, so I doubt working games would not be permitted.
