How Entry Fees and Prize Pools Work on Rivals

The Money Flow

Every paid tournament on Rivals follows the same transparent flow: players pay entry fees, those fees form the prize pool, and winners receive automated payouts.

1. 1.Organizer creates tournament and sets entry fee (minimum $5 / 450 INR)
2. 2.Players register and pay — funds go into a secured prize pool
3. 3.Rivals takes 10% platform fee from the prize pool
4. 4.Organizer takes 0–30% organizer fee from the remainder
5. 5.Rest is distributed as prizes to winning players

Example: 8-Team Tournament at $50 Entry

Let's say you enter an 8-team tournament with a $50 entry fee per team. Here's how the money breaks down:

• •Gross revenue: 8 × $50 = $400
• •Rivals platform fee (10%): $40
• •Remaining: $360
• •Organizer fee (15%): $54
• •Prize pool: $306

The $306 prize pool is then distributed according to the chosen model — winner takes all, top 2, top 3, or a custom split. Every number is visible to every participant before the tournament starts.
