HOW IT WORKS

From sign-up to payout in four steps

Matchup Africa is head-to-head skill gaming with play coins. Here's what happens from the moment you join to the moment you're paid.

THE STEPS

Join, challenge, play, report

  1. 1

    Build your player card

    Add your username, display name, country and the PSN ID or Xbox gamertag you play on. Gamer IDs lock for 3 months once saved, so nobody can swap identities.

  2. 2

    Post or accept a challenge

    Pick the game, mode, console, venue and stake, or accept a challenge someone else posted. Both stakes are locked the moment a challenge is accepted.

  3. 3

    Play online or at a lounge

    Play over PSN or Xbox Live with no check-in, or in person at a Local Lounge where a referee checks you in.

  4. 4

    Report with proof

    Both players enter the final score with a full-time screenshot, and can add a video of up to 2 minutes. Matching reports pay the winner instantly.

RESULTS

How every result is checked

EA Sports FC and Mortal Kombat don't share match results with outside platforms, so both players report them, with proof.

  • Both players enter the final score. When the two reports agree, the result is confirmed and the winner is paid straight away.
  • Proof is a full-time screenshot showing both gamer IDs and the score. A video of up to 2 minutes helps if results don't match.
  • If the reports conflict, or your opponent hasn't reported 30 minutes after you did, an admin reviews the proof and settles the match.
  • Fake proof or false reports mean a forfeit and a Trust Score penalty.

COINS

Stakes, payouts and play coins

  • Every new player gets 1,000 play coins.
  • Your stake is locked when the challenge is accepted. Neither player can spend it until the match is settled or cancelled.
  • The winner takes 95% of both stakes (a 5% platform fee). Stake 200 each and the winner gets 380.
  • Coins are play coins: they can't be bought or withdrawn. Cash prizes are coming soon.

FAIR PLAY

Records that stay honest

  • You can play the same opponent up to 5 times in any 24 hours, so coins can't be passed between accounts.
  • Gamer IDs lock for 3 months once saved, so every record stays tied to one player.
  • At a Local Lounge, a referee verifies your check-in, which builds your Trust Score.
