Question 1

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

Nerkco uses prepaid credits called nibs (1 nib ≈ $1 of platform credit). Buy packs with Stripe, spend them on paid matches or tournament entry, and win prizes back into your wallet. Purchased value can cash out after verification; promo bonuses are play-only.

Question 2

What does “locked in escrow” mean?

Accepted Answer

When you post or accept a paid match (or pay certain entry fees), your stake is reserved until the match finishes, cancels cleanly, or is released under platform rules. Locked nibs cannot be spent or withdrawn until released.

Question 3

How do withdrawals / cash-outs work?

Accepted Answer

Connect a bank account with Stripe Connect from Wallet, then withdraw cash-out eligible nibs. Promo nibs and promo-funded prizes cannot be withdrawn. Minimums, fees, and a short deposit hold on new purchases may apply.

Question 4

How do cash / stake matches work?

Accepted Answer

When cash play is enabled for your region, choose a stake. Both sides lock nibs in escrow. When the result is final, the winner receives the payout minus any platform fee shown before you commit.

Question 5

Are there free tournaments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Events can be free entry or paid. Paid entry may use card checkout or nibs, depending on how the organizer set it up. Always confirm the fee on the event page before you register.

Question 6

How do tournaments work?

Accepted Answer

Browse Upcoming events, open a tournament page, and register before check-in closes. You get seeded into a bracket, play each round, and advance until a champion is decided. Rules, roster size, and prizes are listed on that event.
