FAQ

Last updated · August 8, 2026

How do I get started?

Sign up, play three placement games against our bot, and your ELO is set before you stake anything. Then Buy Money with a card for USD credits, or deposit SOL, and jump into matchmaking.

How do stakes work?

Pick a stake from $5 to $100, join the queue, or send a challenge link to a friend. Both players' stakes are reserved from their USD credit balances before the clock starts.

What are the time controls?

Every stake game uses five minutes on the clock plus two seconds added after each move you play. When your time runs out, you lose.

How does the winner get paid?

When the game ends, the winner receives 95% of the pot as USD credits. The remaining 5% covers platform fees.

Do I need a crypto wallet to play?

No. Buy Money with a debit or credit card to fund USD credits and stake without using Solana. Solana deposit and withdraw are optional if you prefer crypto.

How do deposits and withdrawals work?

Card buys add USD credits and cash out to bank via Whop (3% + $2.50 fee). SOL deposits go to your Solana Deposit Address and withdraw to a Solana Withdrawal Address. The rails stay separate.

What happens if my opponent disconnects?

Standard abandonment rules apply. If a player leaves or times out, the remaining player wins and the pot pays out after the game is confirmed.

Can I cash out card credits as Solana?

No. Card buys and bank withdrawals stay on the fiat rail. Solana deposits and Solana withdrawals stay on the crypto rail. Use the same method you funded with.
