Configure prize pools and disburse winnings

Set up how prize money is allocated across placements and initiate disbursements to participants after a tournament ends.

Prizes and payouts are configured at the tournament level. You define the prize pool, assign amounts to placements, and then approve disbursements once final standings are confirmed. Participants must have completed their own payout setup before they can receive funds.

Where to find it

Projects → [Project] → [Tournament] → Payouts

Step by step

Configure the prize pool

  1. Open the tournament and click Payouts in the navigation.
  2. Click Configure prize pool.
  3. Enter the total prize pool amount.
  4. Assign prizes to placements — 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and so on.
  5. Choose a distribution method:
    • Winner takes all — 100% of the pool goes to 1st place.
    • Top N split — divide the pool among the top N finishers.
    • Percentage-based — specify a percentage for each placement (for example: 50% to 1st, 25% to 2nd, 15% to 3rd, 10% to 4th). Percentages must total 100%.
    • Fixed amounts — enter a specific dollar amount for each placement.
  6. Click Save to store the prize configuration.

Initiate payouts after the tournament

  1. Confirm final standings are set and the tournament has ended.
  2. Navigate to Tournament → Payouts.
  3. Review the payout list. Each eligible participant shows their placement, prize amount, and payout setup status.
  4. Participants who have not completed payout setup will be flagged — they must complete setup before you can disburse to them.
  5. Click Approve disbursements to release funds to all eligible participants.
  6. Participants receive funds to their configured payout method.

What happens next

  • Participants need their own payout account before they can receive funds. Direct them to Payout setup.
  • For large tournaments, consider using Escrow to commit funds before the event starts.
  • View all disbursement activity from Financial overview.
