You won a prize. What now?

It's already yours

Tournament prizes are paid out when the tournament ends. There is no withdrawal request, no approval, and no waiting period — by the time you see your finishing place, the money is in your account.

Very rarely a payout doesn't land on the first try. If that happens to you, the tournament page shows a Claim button with your amount next to it. The money sits safely in the tournament's contract until you press it — it cannot be lost, and nobody else can take it.

What you actually won

Most prizes are paid in dollars. One dollar is one dollar: it doesn't go up or down, and you can sit down at any table with it straight away.

Some tournaments carry a bonus prize paid in something else — usually Ethereum. That one behaves like a share in a company rather than like cash: its value moves every day. It's yours either way, and you can turn it into dollars whenever you like.

“How much is it worth?”

We deliberately don't print a dollar figure next to a bonus prize. A price we showed you at the moment you won would be out of date by the next morning, and we'd rather show you nothing than a number you can't rely on.

Instead, open Convert and you'll see exactly what your prize is worth right now, before you agree to anything.

Turning a bonus prize into dollars

1. 1

   On the screen that shows your result, press Convert to dollars. You can also find it later on your profile — the prize doesn't expire.

2. 2

   You'll see what you're giving and what you'll get back, priced at that moment.

3. 3

   Confirm. A few seconds later the dollars are in your account, ready to play with or to send on.

You don't have a seed phrase, and you don't need one

If you signed in with Google, Apple, email, or a phone number, your account is reached the same way every time: log in exactly as you did the first time and everything is where you left it. There is no phrase to write down and nothing to lose.

Sending it somewhere else

If you'd rather move your money to an exchange, open the account menu and use Send & receive. Paste the deposit address the exchange gives you, and check one thing first: the exchange must be expecting a deposit on Base. Sending to an address on the wrong network is the one mistake here that cannot be undone.

If that sentence didn't mean much to you, convert to dollars and keep playing instead — or ask us in Discord and we'll walk you through it.

Or just play it

Your prize is spendable at any table on Stacked the moment it lands. Plenty of people never convert anything — they just sit down again. See who's playing right now.
