Frequently asked questions
Yes. EA FC 27 is stakeable on Locked from the start of early access on 18 September 2026. The one thing to know is who you can be matched against: during early access only players who bought an early-access edition can launch the game, so the EA FC 27 lobby is smaller than the EA FC 26 one until general release on the 25th. Both editions are in the picker, so if nobody is on FC 27 when you want to play, an EA FC 26 challenge is one tap away.
No. The two titles run on separate servers and are different games that share a name, so a challenge is always for one edition and the two lobbies never meet. This is why Locked keeps both live rather than switching everyone over on release day — listing only the new edition would hide half the players, not merge them.
EA FC 26 until EA FC 27's general release on 25 September 2026, then EA FC 27. The reason is practical: a challenge posted in an edition your opponent cannot launch gets no takers and expires, refunding you 24 hours later. Preselecting the edition most players can actually open is what keeps the lobby working. Either edition is always one tap away in the picker.
Crossplay rules follow EA's settings. If both players have crossplay enabled and are on platforms EA supports for crossplay, you can match across platforms. Otherwise both players must be on the same platform.
$2.50 per player. The total pot is $5, the winner receives $4.50 after the 10% platform fee.
Both players get their full stake back and Locked takes no fee. Nothing is deducted for a draw. If you want a decided result, agree on extra time and penalties in the match rules before kickoff.
It depends on whether they dropped or walked. A disconnection is meant to be resumed: both players start a new game and play out the time that was left, keeping the score from the game that dropped. If they abandon the match instead, you submit the result with evidence — a capture of the score at the moment they left, or the disconnect message. Both stakes stay locked in escrow while a human admin rules on the evidence, with a 24-hour review target.
No. Matches are played on EA's normal online infrastructure — Locked does not host the gameplay. Locked handles matchmaking, escrow, results and disputes.
Locked is designed to operate as a skill-based contest under UIGEA, which carves out games of skill from the federal definition of unlawful gambling. State laws vary; users are responsible for confirming legality in their jurisdiction.
