What happens if I leave or get disconnected?
Leaving mid-match hands your opponent a walkover win and your entry fee stays gone — but if your connection drops, you can jump back into the live match.

Life happens — calls, elevators, cats on keyboards. Here's exactly what the game does when someone vanishes mid-match.
Leaving or disconnecting
If a player leaves or disconnects mid-match, the opponent wins by walkover.
The leaver forfeits the entry fee — no refund.
Connection dropped? You can reconnect and resume a live match — get back in fast!
Going idle
If you stop responding while your opponent is ready to play, you'll get a warning — and about 10 seconds later the opponent wins by inactivity.
Small fairness detail: a walkover winner takes the full prize only if they had already scored in the match. If the match ended before they scored anything, they simply get their entry back.
Repeated early leaving
Rage-quitting the first round again and again gets noticed: currently, 3 early leaves within 48 hours put a 3-minute cooldown on your next 2 match entries — and it blocks game invites too. Play fair and you'll never even see it.
Good to know: only leaving during the first round counts toward the penalty, and losses by inactivity don't add strikes. Finishing a match you're losing never punishes you.
