How the free entry works
01
Deposit $5
The minimum, and the smallest amount that unlocks the match. It stays your money.
02
We add $5
The 100% welcome match lands with the deposit. You are holding $10.
03
The bonus pays the entry
Your $5 is still there when the bracket starts, ready for 1v1 matches.
While the welcome bonus is active, withdrawals are paused on the whole wallet, your own deposit included. It clears after 3 played matches, or when the bonus expires 7 days after it lands. Cup matches count, but a single-elimination run is short: 8 of 32 players reach 3 rounds, so most people get there by also playing regular 1v1s. Nothing is taken from you in the meantime, and the money stays in your balance to play with.
Prize pool
8 of 32 get paid.
Most brackets pay the top three and send everyone else home with nothing. This one pays a quarter of the field, and every placing is published before you enter.
32 entries at $5 is $160. The pool is $200. Locked puts in the other $40 and takes no rake from this one.
