Player guide

Use this page to understand how Skillsroom handles rooms, tournaments, evidence, refunds, support, and account activity.

Prize sources

Prize pools can come from participant entries, sponsor contributions, platform bonuses, or approved manual adjustments.

The event page should clearly state whether the competition is free, paid, sponsored, or hybrid.
A sponsor promise is not treated as settled money until it has reached the approved platform workflow.
Prize structure may be winner-take-all, split, fixed-placement, or another published format.

Published prize language

Skillsroom should only describe prize states with language supported by the ledger and moderation flow.

Reserved means the platform has recorded the obligation but has not completed payout.
Queued means the payout or refund is awaiting manual or provider-side execution.
Paid or completed language is used only when the platform has confirmed the payout state.

When prizes can change

A listed prize can be delayed, reduced, cancelled, or redistributed where the competition is voided, underfunded, fraudulent, or materially non-compliant.

Examples include sponsor non-performance, payment failure, collusion, bracket invalidation, or disqualification.
If a prize structure changes after registration opens, the platform should notify affected players clearly.
Skillsroom may also hold a prize while ownership, identity, or bank details are reviewed.

Player responsibilities

Winners may need to provide payout-ready information, confirm identity, and comply with support requests before any prize leaves the queue.

Incorrect bank details can delay or fail a payout.
Tax reporting obligations, where applicable, remain the responsibility of the recipient unless local law says otherwise.
Attempting to route payouts through another person without approval may trigger review or restriction.
