Paid brackets and ladders across EA FC, Madden, Fortnite, PUBG Mobile, 8 Ball Pool, Chess.com, and a rotating catalog — for the working, school-night, family-room gamer who wants a $10 entry into a friendly $50 pot. Not a sportsbook. Not a skins site. Just skill, settled.
Sample pots from a Wednesday evening. Real pots, real numbers, real tickets.
Why Skillstake
On a $50 pot, that means about $42–$43 paid out vs. roughly $35. Same lobby. Same opponents. More of every bracket ends up in a player’s pocket.
EA FC Volta ladders run on dedicated infrastructure with match-id and replay capture. PUBG Mobile and Fortnite are replay-verified. Chess.com ties results to official game IDs. No "trust me bro" screenshots.
ID, age, and residency are checked on registration. The hard work is done before you pay — so when you withdraw, it lands in 24–48 hours, not three weeks later in a support ticket.
Skillstake holds skill-game licenses in NJ, CO, WA, TN, MA, and NY, and is gated hardest in exactly those states. No grey zone, no offshore shell — funds move through regulated rails.
How it works
EA FC, Madden, Fortnite, PUBG Mobile, 8 Ball Pool, Chess.com, and a rotating catalog. Brackets from $5 fifty-player payouts to four-figure prize pools.
Card on file, no funny money. Crown tier members pay zero entry fees on monthly free-rolls.
Server-authoritative matches or replay-verified capture feed the result back to the bracket. Standings update live.
Withdraw to ACH, PayPal, or Venmo. Settled in 24–48 hours after the bracket closes.
The catalog
We add a title when its match results can be verified reliably and its community wants a paid ladder. We drop one when its match integrity breaks. That — not a content filler pipeline — is how the catalog moves.

Crown tier
Crown is the play-every-night tier for the regulars. Cancel any time — your standard account and balance stay put. We don’t trap you with annual lock-ins.
Integration roadmap: Stripe-routed billing, in-app upgrade flow, profile cosmetic shop. Crown slots are priced to pay for themselves within the first 3–4 paid brackets a member plays.
