Deposits & Payouts

Link one Solana wallet to your account and deposit SOL through the in-app deposit flow. Deposits credit your in-app balance once the transaction confirms on the network.

Keep enough balance for your stake tier plus a small reserve so you can join games without approving a wallet transaction every match.

Your balance is displayed in USD for convenience. When a game starts, each player's stake is reserved from balance and moved to escrow at the locked SOL amount for that tier.

After a staked game ends, it enters a post-game review period. Once review and fair-play checks pass, the winner receives 95% of the pot to their in-app balance.

Draws return each player's share of the pot minus the platform fee.

Withdraw SOL from your in-app balance to your linked wallet at any time, subject to network confirmation times. Withdraw before changing wallets or closing your account.

Payouts may be delayed while fair-play analysis runs or if a report is under review. Check the game page for status or email support@pvpchess.com with your game ID.
