How Tournaments Work on RaiseGG — Entry, Format, Prizes

Everything you need to know about competing in RaiseGG tournaments — from entry requirements to prize pool distribution.


Beyond 1v1 stake matches, RaiseGG hosts structured tournaments with prize pools funded by entry fees and platform contributions. Here's how to compete.

Finding Tournaments

All upcoming and live tournaments are listed on the Tournaments page. You'll see the game, format, entry fee, prize pool, and how many spots remain. Filter by game to find what you're looking for.

Entry Requirements

Each tournament lists its own eligibility requirements — usually a minimum ELO and sometimes a maximum stake history requirement to ensure fair brackets. You must be logged in and have sufficient balance to cover the entry fee.

Prize Pool Distribution

Prize pools are typically distributed as: 50% to 1st place, 30% to 2nd, 20% to 3rd (for 8-player brackets). Larger tournaments may pay deeper. Exact distribution is listed on each tournament's detail page before you register.

Match Format

Most RaiseGG tournaments run as single-elimination or double-elimination brackets. CS2 matches use our game server (automatic result detection). Dota 2 requires match ID submission after each round.

Payouts

Winnings are credited to your RaiseGG balance immediately after bracket completion. Withdraw anytime.
