Sbarter is a decentralised protocol that enables players to compete in skill-based events — challenges and tournaments — with real stakes attached, across a growing library of video games. It is operated by Sbarter Limited, a Malta-incorporated company fully controlled by Association Sbarter, a Swiss non-profit association that governs and maintains the protocol. Sbarter is not a game, not a casino, and not a gambling platform. It is a neutral technology layer that makes competition meaningful.

Sbarter is built for three types of participants: players who want their skill to mean something; creators who want to engage their communities through competitive events; and video game publishers (VGPs) who may choose to enhance the protocol experience by providing verified match data. All three are equally essential to the ecosystem.

Sbarter is compatible with games that produce clear, verifiable results — win/lose or score-based — where players choose their own opponent. The game catalogue grows continuously and is driven by the community. Check the in-app library for the current list of supported games.

Sbarter opens to new countries progressively, following a regulatory review in each jurisdiction. The community is informed as new markets become active. If the app is not yet available in your region, it means the legal verification for that market is still in progress. Follow official Sbarter channels for updates.

Yes. The Sbarter app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

No. The blockchain infrastructure runs entirely in the background. The app handles wallet creation and transactions automatically. You fund your account, choose a game, and compete. That is all.

Download the Sbarter app, enter your email address or phone number, and follow the onboarding flow. You will complete an identity verification step (KYC) before you can create or join events. Once verification is confirmed, your account is active.

Verification exists to keep the protocol fair for everyone. It confirms that every participant is a real person, is of legal age, and is competing from an eligible country. Sbarter does not use this process to build a profile on you — it is designed to protect the community, not to monitor individuals.

A government-issued identity document (passport or national ID) and a short liveness video check. The process is conducted by SumSub, an independent identity verification provider. Sbarter does not receive or store your identity documents.

No. Your documents are submitted directly to SumSub via their secure platform. Sbarter never stores, views, or accesses your identity documents at any time. The only data Sbarter retains is your email address or phone number, date of birth, and country of residence. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the minimum legal age applicable in your country if that is higher. Age is verified during the KYC process and enforced at protocol level.

Verification normally completes within a few minutes. If your account is still inactive, check your email or in-app notifications for any additional steps required. If the issue persists, contact support@sbarter.com.

Sbarter uses geolocation to enforce compliance with applicable law in each jurisdiction. If a mismatch is detected, you may be temporarily restricted from events. Please contact support@sbarter.com to resolve the situation.

No. The use of VPNs, proxies, or any tools that conceal or misrepresent your location is strictly prohibited under the Terms and Conditions. Accounts found to be using such tools may be suspended.

Update your country of residence in the app settings as soon as possible. If the new country is not yet available on Sbarter, your access to events may be restricted until the platform is active there.

No. Each person is permitted one Sbarter account. Creating multiple accounts violates the Terms and Conditions and may result in permanent suspension of all accounts.

SBT is the utility token of the Sbarter protocol. It is used to enter skill-based events, pay protocol fees, and — in the future — participate in protocol governance. It is not a financial instrument, not an investment product, and not a form of currency or e-money. See the SBT Whitepaper for full details.

You can acquire SBT Tokens through compatible third-party cryptocurrency exchanges, or directly within the app using the fiat on-ramp, which allows you to fund your wallet in your local currency. Sbarter does not sell SBT Tokens directly.

The Sbarter Wallet is a non-custodial wallet embedded in the app, generated automatically when you create your account. Built on the Solana blockchain, it allows you to hold, send, and stake SBT Tokens. Non-custodial means Sbarter never holds your private keys or has access to your funds — ever.

No. The Sbarter Wallet is non-custodial. Sbarter does not hold, store, control, or have any access to your private keys or your SBT balance at any time. Your assets are under your sole control.

A Session Authorization allows the app to execute a defined sequence of related on-chain operations in a single session — for example, converting funds received via the fiat on-ramp directly into SBT Tokens — without requiring you to confirm each individual step. Before granting one, the app clearly shows you the operations covered, the duration, and any applicable limits. You can revoke it at any time. Operations already executed cannot be reversed.

Because the Sbarter Wallet is non-custodial, Sbarter cannot restore access to your private keys or recover your SBT Tokens. If you lose wallet access, you will need to complete the KYC process again to create a new verified wallet. Please keep your login credentials and recovery information in a safe place.

You can fund your wallet directly within the app using the fiat on-ramp, which supports a wide range of payment methods — including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and local payment options depending on your country. The available methods are displayed in the app and vary by region.

Yes. From launch, you can convert SBT Tokens back to fiat through the in-app off-ramp. This process is managed by third-party providers. Sbarter does not process or facilitate these conversions directly.

No. When you use the fiat on-ramp, you interact directly with the third-party provider under its own terms and privacy policy. Sbarter acts as a referrer only and does not process, store, or access your card or banking data at any point.

Each event deducts a Protocol Transaction Fee, automatically applied by the smart contract. This fee is fixed, non-refundable, and displayed before you confirm participation. Standard Solana network (gas) fees may also apply. There are no hidden charges.

Yes. Entry amount ranges are defined at the protocol level for each game and region. These limits keep competition proportionate and fair. The applicable range is displayed when you create or join an event.

A Challenge is a skill-based, 1-versus-1 event between two players, created through the Sbarter app. The creator sets the game, game mode, winning condition, entry amount in SBT, and any minimum Integrity Score required. Both players stake the same amount into a smart contract; the winner receives the combined total minus the Protocol Transaction Fee. Settlement is automatic — no manual intervention is possible or required.

In the app, select a game, set your parameters, and confirm. A smart contract is generated automatically. Your challenge appears in the lobby until another player accepts it. You can also send it privately to a specific follower.

Yes, but only before another player accepts it. Once a second player joins and both entry amounts are locked in the smart contract, the challenge is immutable and cannot be modified or cancelled.

The result is resolved automatically — either by oracle data from the VGP (where available), by matching result submissions from both players, or by the Community Dispute Resolution mechanism if there is a disagreement. Settlement is instant and handled entirely by the smart contract.

A private challenge is visible only to, and can only be accepted by, players you follow or who follow you. It is the best way to compete directly against friends or specific community members.

Yes. Open challenges are visible in the lobby, where you can browse and join those that match your game preference, skill level, and entry amount.

A Tournament is a multi-player, multi-round competitive event built on the same protocol as challenges. Any verified user can create one. Tournaments may also be organised by Event Makers for their communities, with branded formats and dedicated prize pools.

Any verified user with a sufficient Integrity Score can create a tournament. Event Makers have access to additional configuration tools and larger event formats.

Yes. A tournament creator can fund a prize pool directly, making participation free for all players. This is a common format for community events and brand activations.

Prize distribution is automatic and governed by the smart contract, based on the rules set by the tournament creator. No manual intervention is required or possible at settlement.

Browse open tournaments in the app, check the entry requirements and prize structure, and confirm participation. Your entry amount is locked in the smart contract immediately upon joining.

Results follow a three-step process: (1) Oracle resolution — if the game has an active VGP oracle integration, it feeds the verified result directly to the smart contract. (2) Matching user submissions — if no oracle is available, both players submit the result independently; if submissions match, the smart contract settles automatically. (3) Community Dispute Resolution — if submissions conflict, the event is referred to an independent panel of verified community members.

When a result cannot be determined automatically, the protocol selects a panel of independent, verified users to review the evidence submitted by both players and decide the outcome. The panel's decision is executed automatically by the smart contract, is final, and is binding on all participants. Sbarter does not participate in, supervise, or influence this process in any way.

When your event is referred to Community Dispute Resolution, you will receive an in-app notification with instructions. You can submit gameplay screenshots, video clips, or other relevant recordings directly through the app, within the permitted timeframe.

No. Decisions made by the Community Dispute Resolution mechanism are final and binding. Sbarter does not review, override, or adjudicate outcomes. The protocol is decentralised and neutral, and Sbarter does not act as a judge between players.

A Non-Validated Event is one where the result could not be established through any of the three mechanisms. In this case, the smart contract automatically refunds all entry amounts to all participants. Repeated involvement in Non-Validated Events may affect your Integrity Score.

Gameplay takes place entirely within a third-party video game, outside the Sbarter protocol. Sbarter has no control over in-game performance, game servers, or connectivity. In the event of a genuine technical issue, use the dispute mechanism and submit relevant evidence.

The Integrity Score is a protocol-level fair-play metric, automatically calculated based on your event participation history — including validated results, dispute frequency, and community resolver conduct. A higher score gives you access to more events, improves your leaderboard visibility, and signals to other players that you are a reliable competitor.

By participating consistently, submitting accurate results, and avoiding disputes. Fair, reliable play is what the score measures and rewards.

Yes. Submitting incorrect results, repeatedly triggering Non-Validated Events, or voting in bad faith as a community resolver can reduce your score. Adjustments are automatic, governed solely by protocol rules, and are not reviewed or manually overridden by Sbarter.

No. Integrity Scores cannot be purchased, traded, or transferred. They are personal, non-fungible, and earned entirely through behaviour on the protocol.

The ELO rating measures your competitive performance across all challenges — whether played as individual 1v1 events or within tournaments. It increases when you beat stronger opponents and decreases when you lose to weaker ones, creating a dynamic, merit-based ranking.

Sbarter collects the minimum data necessary: your email address or phone number, date of birth, country of residence, and your public wallet address. Your identity documents are handled exclusively by SumSub, our independent KYC provider, and are never retained by Sbarter. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

No. Sbarter does not sell your personal data to any third party, under any circumstances.

Your public wallet address and transaction history are recorded on the Solana blockchain — a public, immutable ledger. This is a fundamental characteristic of blockchain technology and is outside Sbarter's control. Your wallet address alone does not reveal your name, but third parties may independently attempt to link on-chain activity to your identity. See the Blockchain Transparency section of the Privacy Policy for full details.

Yes. You can request account deletion and erasure of your off-chain personal data at any time through the app settings or by contacting support@sbarter.com. Data permanently recorded on the Solana blockchain cannot be deleted. Certain data may also be retained for up to five years where required by law. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, restrict, port, or erase your personal data, and to object to certain types of processing. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA. To exercise any of these rights, contact support@sbarter.com.

Contact support@sbarter.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Malta Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC) at www.idpc.org.mt, or with the data protection authority in your country of residence.

Sbarter uses encrypted data storage, strict access controls, and regular security reviews. Your identity documents are held by SumSub using bank-grade security standards. Your wallet is non-custodial — Sbarter never holds your private keys, which means your funds cannot be accessed or moved by anyone other than you.

Yes. The Sbarter smart contracts have been audited by CertiK, a leading blockchain security firm. The audit report is publicly available on the Sbarter website.

Contact support@sbarter.com immediately. Secure your device and change your login credentials. If you believe your wallet private keys have been exposed, transfer your SBT Tokens to a new secure wallet without delay. Sbarter cannot access or recover wallet private keys on your behalf.

All Sbarter events and transactions depend on the Solana network. Network congestion or outages may delay transaction execution. Sbarter has no control over external blockchain infrastructure and is not liable for network-level failures. We will communicate disruptions through official channels.

Sbarter uses Lit Protocol for decentralised key management. Under this model, sensitive data is encrypted so that only you and the relevant smart contract can decrypt it. Sbarter itself does not have access.

The Sbarter app is available on iOS and Android. Check the App Store or Google Play for current minimum version requirements.

No. Your Sbarter Wallet is created automatically during onboarding via social login. You do not need to download a separate wallet app, manage a seed phrase, or have any prior crypto experience.

No. For Players and Event Makers, the full Sbarter experience is available exclusively through the mobile app. There is no web interface for players or creators.

Close and restart the app. If the problem persists, contact support@sbarter.com with a description of the issue and, if possible, a screenshot. Our support team will investigate.

The Fair-Play Policy prohibits: cheating or using unauthorised tools; falsifying results or evidence; manipulating network latency; multi-accounting; collusion; exploiting bugs; circumventing geographic restrictions; using bots or automation; voting in bad faith as a community resolver; and violating the terms of any third-party video game. Violations result in Integrity Score reduction, suspension, or permanent account termination.

No. Sbarter does not offer gambling, games of chance, lotteries, or any activity where outcomes depend on luck. All events are skill-based — outcomes are determined exclusively by player performance in the game. Sbarter does not set odds, profit from player losses, or rely on chance. Stakes make competition meaningful. They do not make it gambling.

Depending on the severity, consequences range from an automatic reduction of your Integrity Score to temporary suspension or permanent termination of your account. Serious or repeated violations result in a permanent ban. Enforcement is automated where possible; manual review may apply in complex cases.

Yes. Only game modes that produce clear, verifiable results are eligible. Random or luck-based modes are not supported. The eligible modes for each game are listed in the app.
