SkillStake is a competitive gaming platform where you can compete in skill-based tournaments for real prizes
SkillStake is a competitive gaming platform where players compete in skill-based games like Chess, 8-Ball Pool, and Battleships. Unlike traditional gambling, your success depends entirely on your skill, strategy, and decision-making.
Players can join tournaments with entry fees and compete for prize pools, or create their own tournaments and invite others to compete. All matches are fair, transparent, and based purely on player skill.
Sign up with your email or Google account. Choose a unique username that will represent you in tournaments and matches. You can add bank account details in your settings for easy withdrawals.
Deposit funds using EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) or cryptocurrency (USDT). Your balance is stored securely and can be used to enter tournaments. You can deposit in both ZAR and USDT.
Browse available tournaments in Chess, 8-Ball Pool, or Battleships. Each tournament shows the entry fee, prize pool, and number of players. You can also create your own tournaments with custom settings.
Play your matches when scheduled. Tournaments use single-elimination brackets, so win your matches to advance. Winners receive prize money directly to their wallet, which can be withdrawn at any time.
Any player can create a tournament. Set your own entry fee, prize pool structure, maximum players, and game type. The platform automatically manages the bracket system and prize distribution. A small platform fee is deducted from the prize pool to maintain the service.
Admin-created tournaments often feature guaranteed prize pools and special formats. These tournaments may be freerolls (no entry fee) with prizes funded by SkillStake, or premium events with larger prize pools.
The classic strategy game. Outthink your opponent with tactical moves and strategic planning. Tournaments feature time controls from Bullet to Blitz to Rapid.
Test your precision and planning. Sink all your balls and finish with the 8-ball to win. Physics-based gameplay ensures realistic and fair competition.
Strategic naval combat. Place your fleet strategically and use deduction to locate and sink your opponent's ships before they sink yours.
Prize pools are distributed based on tournament placement. The exact distribution depends on the tournament settings, but typically follows these patterns:
Winnings are credited to your wallet immediately after tournament completion. You can withdraw your funds at any time via EFT or cryptocurrency.
Withdrawing your winnings is simple and secure:
Save your bank account details in Settings. Your information is encrypted and stored securely.
Go to your Wallet, select the withdrawal amount and method (EFT or crypto). Confirm the transaction.
If you have 2FA enabled, verify with your authenticator app. Otherwise, verify via email OTP.
