Question 1

What is MoneyMatch?

Accepted Answer

MoneyMatch is a skill-based, real-money golf game. Every player who buys a swing contributes to a shared jackpot. The first player to sink a verified hole-in-one wins the entire pot instantly. No scripts, no rigged outcomes - just skill.

Question 2

How do I play?

Accepted Answer

Sign in with your email, deposit funds, pick a lobby (Qualifier, Invitational, or Major), buy your swings, and take your swing. Aim, set your power, and execute. A verified hole-in-one wins the pot immediately.

Question 3

What is the jackpot?

Accepted Answer

The jackpot is a shared pot that grows as more players buy swings. A platform fee is deducted from each swing to cover operations - the rest goes directly into the pot. The first hole-in-one wins the entire jackpot, then the game resets.

Question 4

What happens after someone wins?

Accepted Answer

When a player sinks a hole-in-one, the jackpot is credited to their wallet instantly. That round closes and a new round of the same lobby opens with a fresh pot, and you are taken to it automatically. A swing you had paid for but not yet taken cannot be used in the new round, so it is forfeited and its entry fee is not returned.

Question 5

What if two players get a hole-in-one at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Our server processes shots in strict timestamp order with millisecond precision. The first shot verified by the server wins. This decision is final and logged.

Question 6

What are the three lobbies?

Accepted Answer

Qualifier ($1/swing, pots $500-$5,000) - great for beginners. Invitational ($5/swing, pots $2,500-$25,000) - our most popular. Major ($25/swing, pots $15,000-$100,000+) - for elite players with verified accounts.

Question 7

How much does a swing cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the lobby: $1 per swing in the Qualifier, $5 in the Invitational, and $25 in the Major. You can buy 1, 5, or 10 swings at a time.

Question 8

What is the platform fee?

Accepted Answer

A platform fee is deducted from each swing: 22% for Qualifier, 20% for Invitational, 17% for Major. The remainder goes directly into the jackpot. All fees are disclosed upfront and shown in your wallet history.

Question 9

Do unused swings carry over?

Accepted Answer

No. A swing is tied to the round you bought it in, and you hold one at a time in a lobby. If you do not take it before its 15 minute window closes, or if the round ends because someone won, the swing is forfeited and the entry fee is not returned.

Question 10

How do I deposit funds?

Accepted Answer

Click the Deposit button in the header, choose a quick amount ($10, $25, $50, $100) or enter a custom amount, and complete payment with any major method. Deposits are processed immediately.

Question 11

How do withdrawals work?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawals are sent as USDC to the Solana address you choose, and you approve each one yourself. A withdrawal larger than your deposits, minus what you’ve already withdrawn, is reviewed first. You can cancel a withdrawal any time before it’s sent, and the full amount goes back to your balance. The address must hold an open USDC account, and USDC sent to the wrong address can’t be recovered.

Question 12

Can I withdraw my unused balance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request a withdrawal of your unused balance from your profile wallet, from $10 to $10,000 per withdrawal. Bonus balance can’t be withdrawn.

Question 13

Are entry fees refundable?

Accepted Answer

Swing entry fees are non-refundable. MoneyMatch may issue a refund at its discretion upon request. If you do not use your swing before its 15 minute window closes, the swing is forfeited and the entry fee is not returned. The same applies if the round ends because another player won first.

Question 14

Is MoneyMatch legal?

Accepted Answer

MoneyMatch operates in jurisdictions where skill-based games are permitted. We are currently available in the places listed on our Where You Can Play page (https://moneymatch.gg/availability). We check your location when you enter a lobby, buy swings, deposit, or approve a payment.

Question 15

Why does MoneyMatch say it isn't available where I am?

Accepted Answer

We check where you are, from your IP address, when you enter a lobby, buy swings, deposit, or approve a payment. If you're in a place that isn't on our Where You Can Play page (https://moneymatch.gg/availability), the request can't go through and nothing is sent. If you are in a listed place and still see this, we couldn't read your location. Try again, and turn off any VPN or proxy, which our Terms don't allow.

Question 16

Is the game fair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MoneyMatch does not use random number generation. Every result comes down to your input - aim, power, timing, and execution. The game is designed to be skill-based, with no RNG deciding the outcome.

Question 17

Is there any RNG involved?

Accepted Answer

No. MoneyMatch is designed to be skill-based, with no RNG. Small environmental factors like wind and lie conditions add real-world variance, but they are bounded, consistent, and disclosed. Your skill is the primary driver of outcomes.

Question 18

How are results verified?

Accepted Answer

Every swing is broadcast live in the Live Arena for full transparency, and the first verified hole-in-one wins the pot the moment it lands. Results play out in the open, not behind closed doors.

Question 19

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

We encrypt your data in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption (TLS 1.3 and AES-256). We don't sell personal data to third parties. All third-party providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Question 20

How do I create an account?

Accepted Answer

Click "Sign In" in the header. Enter your email and we will send you a one-time code. The same step creates your account the first time. You must be 18 or older to play.

Question 21

What is the minimum age to play?

Accepted Answer

You must be 18 years or older to create an account and play MoneyMatch. Age and identity verification is required at sign-up. We take this seriously.

Question 22

What is KYC verification?

Accepted Answer

KYC (Know Your Customer) is identity verification required to play. It confirms your age and identity. The Major lobby requires a fully verified account. It helps us maintain a safe, fair platform.

Question 23

How do I change my golfer?

Accepted Answer

Open a lobby and choose Change Golfer, or pick one from your Profile page. Some golfers are free to equip and others unlock with Coins. Your golfer appears on the leaderboard and in the live activity feed.

Question 24

Can I have multiple accounts?

Accepted Answer

No. One account per person. Duplicate accounts may be permanently suspended. Using bots, scripts, or VPNs to circumvent restrictions is also prohibited.

Question 25

Do I get free swings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every player gets one free swing every 24 hours. No deposit needed - real stakes, real jackpots.

Question 26

Do free swings count for real jackpots?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free swings are real attempts with real stakes. If you sink a hole-in-one on your free swing, you win the full jackpot.

Question 27

How often do free swings reset?

Accepted Answer

Once every 24 hours. The timer resets daily for all lobby tiers. Available to all logged-in users.

Question 28

How do referral rewards work?

Accepted Answer

Share your referral link. When a friend signs up with it and makes their first deposit of at least $10, you both get $10 in bonus balance. Bonus balance is used to enter lobbies and is not withdrawable.

Question 29

When is my referral bonus credited?

Accepted Answer

The moment your friend's first qualifying deposit clears. Both bonuses are credited together, instantly, and appear in your wallet history as a referral bonus.

Question 30

What counts as a successful referral?

Accepted Answer

A friend who signs up through your link and then makes their first deposit of at least $10. Until that deposit clears, the referral stays pending.

Question 31

Why is my referral still pending?

Accepted Answer

A referral stays pending until your friend makes their first qualifying deposit of at least $10. If you have recently reached the reward limit, new referrals also stay pending for review instead of paying out automatically.

Question 32

Are there limits on referral rewards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Automatic referral rewards are capped at 10 approved bonuses per 30 days. Beyond that, referrals are still tracked and may be reviewed, but they are not rewarded automatically. Referral rewards are also subject to standard abuse-prevention checks.

Question 33

Can a referral reward be denied?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rewards can be withheld or reversed for duplicate accounts, self-referrals, or other abuse. One account per person, always.

Question 34

Can I set spending limits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Decreases take effect immediately; raising a limit requires a 72-hour cooling-off period.

Question 35

How does self-exclusion work?

Accepted Answer

You can self-exclude from lobbies, swings, and deposits for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, or permanently. Withdrawals stay available. Crypto that still reaches your deposit address is added to your balance, but you cannot play with it until your exclusion ends. No questions asked, no reinstatement during the chosen period.

Question 36

Where can I get help with problem gambling?

Accepted Answer

National Council on Problem Gambling: 1-800-522-4700 (24/7). Gamblers Anonymous: gamblersanonymous.org. Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741. All free, confidential, and available 24/7.

Question 37

Can I watch without paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Watch Live feature lets you observe any active lobby in real time, completely free. No account or deposit required to watch.

Question 38

What is the Live Arena?

Accepted Answer

The Live Arena shows real-time gameplay as it happens - the current pot, players taking swings, the activity feed, and winner announcements. You can switch between lobbies to watch different stake levels.

Question 39

Can I see other players’ swings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every swing in every lobby is broadcast live. Full transparency is a core part of MoneyMatch - there is no way to hide or reverse a shot.
