What does it cost to enter a tournament?

It depends on the tournament. Many are free to enter. Paid ones have an entry fee set by the host, capped at 10,000 Coins per player, and those entries form the prize. You always see the entry cost before you register, and free events are the best place to start.

Tournament entry costs vary, because hosts set their own events. Some are completely free, others have an entry fee. You always see the cost up front before you commit.

Free tournaments

Plenty of tournaments cost nothing to enter. They are the best place to learn how the whole flow works, registration, check-in, lobby codes, reporting results, without anything on the line. Free events do not require identity verification either.

Paid tournaments

Paid tournaments have an entry fee in Coins, set by the host. That fee is capped at 10,000 Coins per player, so no single event can demand a reckless amount. The entries come together to form the prize, which is what makes the reward bigger when the field is stronger.

What you get for the fee

Your entry buys you a spot in a verified, moderated competition with a real reward for winning. It is the same idea as a buy-in to any competitive event: you are paying to compete, and skill decides who takes the prize.

Paid tournaments require identity verification, since real rewards are involved. The highest-value ones add a webcam and anti-cheat check.
