Staked Matchmaking

Last updated · July 24, 2026

Finding a game

On the Play page, select a stake tier and click Find Match. You enter a queue and are paired with a player within 100 ELO of your rating at the same stake.

Before you queue

Complete placement and deposit enough SOL for your stake plus a small reserve. You can only have one active game or post-game review at a time.

When a match is found

Both players' stakes lock in escrow and the game begins. You are redirected to the live board with the shared time control.

Leaving the queue

Cancel search from the Play page if you no longer want to wait. Matchmaking bans from fair-play penalties block queue access until the ban expires.

After the game

The winner receives 95% of the pot after review completes. Your ELO updates based on the result. Check Leaderboard to see where you rank.
