FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When does GameShard reopen?
We are starting with a closed beta alongside the first Hubs. We will announce the public opening date on Discord.
I had an account: will I lose it?
No. We restore your account and you sign in with your usual password. If you used two-step verification, you turn it back on at your first sign-in.
How much does it cost to play?
Nothing. Any entry fees are set by the Hub running the tournament. GameShard Plus, which is optional, will only add cosmetic extras.
How do commissions work?
They apply to entry fees and prize pools collected through Stripe Connect: 30% on Free, 20% on Pro, 10% on Whitelabel.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Whitelabel plans: add a CNAME record and we verify the domain and issue the certificate automatically.
Which games are supported?
At least 16 games at launch, including League of Legends, VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, EA SPORTS FC, Rocket League and Fortnite, with results read automatically for LoL and VALORANT. More arrive as plugins.
