Skill Game Rules
Correspondence matches on SkillGames.AI follow these core rules.
Turn-based play
Make a move within your match time control. Default controls: 24h, 48h, or 7 days per move.
Move deadlines
If you exceed your move deadline, you may forfeit the match (loss on time).
Server authority
All moves are validated on the server. Illegal moves are rejected.
Prize competitions
When enabled, matches can be free play, a fixed prize wager (each player buys in a set number of credits), or a per-move wager (each player contributes credits every move up to a set limit). Credits are pegged at 1 credit = US$1.00.
Prize pools and fees
The winner receives the prize pool minus a 10% platform fee retained by SkillGames. Winnings are valued in cryptocurrency at the exchange rate locked in when the game started, protecting both players and the Platform from price swings during play. Drawn wagered matches refund each player their own contribution.
Cash-outs
Credits can be cashed out to a cryptocurrency address you provide (e.g. Ethereum or Monero). Payouts use the rate locked in when each block of credits was acquired, and are subject to identity/AML checks, minimum amounts, and network fees.
Disputes
Report suspected abuse via support. Admin review may adjust results in clear fair-play violations.
