PVPSTAKES FAQ
How the PVPSTAKES platform works today: 15 skill games, Demo and Paid matches, fair seeded challenges, deposits and withdrawals, plus a clear explanation of retired modes and legacy balances.
Platform & matches
What is PVPSTAKES?
PVPSTAKES is a skill-gaming platform with 15 games in your browser or inside Telegram: Classic Pool, Block Fit, Rhythm Tap, Blitz 21, Knife Throw, Lane Dodge, True Darts, Pinball Rush, Merge 2048, Ball Sort, Minesweeper Duel, Breakout Reactor, Reaction Catch, Slice Rush and Bubble Drop. There are exactly two modes: Demo with demo balance, and Paid at $0.50, $1 or $5 against a real opponent.
How does a Paid match work?
Choose any supported game and stake. Both players receive the same seeded challenge and play by the same rules; your stake is held while the match is open. After both players finish, the higher score takes the pot minus PVPSTAKES's disclosed 10% rake. On a $1 match the winner receives $1.80 — 90% of the $2 pot.
How do I know it is fair?
Every Paid match binds both players to the same game version, seed, starting state and rules. Before settlement, the server replays the submitted action log and recomputes the score instead of trusting the number shown by the browser.
What happens on a tie, or if nobody joins?
A tie returns both stakes in full and no rake is taken. If nobody joins a Paid match within 24 hours, your stake is refunded automatically; Demo matches also stay open for up to 24 hours.
Money
How do I deposit?
Open Wallet → Deposit and choose one of the networks currently shown: USDT on TON, USDT on TRC-20 or USDC on Solana. Follow the exact address, required comment or memo, network and minimum displayed for that option. A different asset or network will not be credited.
How do withdrawals work and how long do they take?
Wallet shows the withdrawal networks currently available, together with each minimum and fixed network fee. Every request is reviewed manually; its status appears in Wallet and may also arrive in Telegram. If a request is rejected, the money returns to your cash balance.
What happens if my cash balance is too low for a table?
PVPSTAKES opens Wallet with the missing amount made clear. A deposit never starts a paid match by itself: after the balance is credited, return to Table and press Play again to confirm the stake.
What happened to my token balance?
Existing tokens are legacy loyalty points. PVPSTAKES no longer issues new tokens, accepts new token-funded matches or offers token claims. Tokens have no monetary value, are not a currency, security, or other financial instrument, cannot be bought, sold, transferred, or withdrawn, and create no right to any payout or future asset. PVPSTAKES may adjust or reset legacy token balances at any time.
Current and legacy modes
Which modes are available now?
Exactly two modes are available: Demo and Paid. High Felt, new token tables and claims, Journey attempts and rewards, Cup registrations, spin, VIP and rakeback, leaderboards, friend requests, the former Practice mode and automatic stake escalation are retired.
What happens to a match or Cup entry created before retirement?
It remains recorded. PVPSTAKES keeps the settlement and refund paths needed to complete existing matches and Cup obligations, but does not accept new token matches or new Cup registrations.
Account & help
Who can play?
Demo is open to everyone. Paid mode is 18+ only and must be legal where you live; in some regions deposits and Paid games are unavailable while Demo and withdrawals remain. One account per player — automation, duplicate accounts, collusion and attempts to manipulate scores or payments are prohibited and may cost you access.
Telegram or browser — is it the same game?
It is the same game either way. Guest Demo in the browser version stays in that browser and is not merged automatically. Sign in with Telegram before depositing or starting a Paid game, and use that Telegram account across devices.
How do I get help?
Write to @playpotshot_bot in Telegram — messages in the bot chat reach the operator. Deposit and withdrawal updates may arrive there too.
Fastest way to understand PVPSTAKES: open Demo.
