Terms and Conditions

OVERSKILL.gg terms: a skill-based CS2 competition with USDC entries, non-custodial on-chain escrow, and a reward for the winner. No chance, pure skill.

1. Acceptance and scope

Read-only access to OVERSKILL.gg is public. To interact — any action that writes data: creating or joining a match, connecting a wallet, or claiming a prize — you need a connected Steam session.

By using the platform you accept these Terms in their current version, identified at the top of this document. We record your acceptance minimally, as the acceptance date and the accepted version (acceptedTosAt, tosVersion). If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

2. Eligibility

By using OVERSKILL.gg you represent and warrant that:

  • you are at least 18 years old;
  • your participation is lawful where you reside;
  • you are not located in a prohibited jurisdiction.

The platform may use your IP address and your declared location to verify these requirements, and reserves the right to block access or void a match on a false attestation. Geo-gating is designed and can be activated; this version ships with no region-based access restriction.

To compete you also need:

  • a Steam account at least 90 days old;
  • at least 50 hours recorded in CS2;
  • a public profile.

3. Nature of the service

OVERSKILL.gg is a skill-based competition, structured as a skill contest: players pay an entry that forms the prize pool; the prize is known before the match and is awarded to the winner on skill — with no chance, the outcome depends only on skill; the platform charges a service fee.

Match conditions are symmetric for both teams: in team formats both sides play both halves, so no map or side favours a competitor on the basis of chance.

OVERSKILL.gg is not a game of chance, not a financial or DeFi yield product, and not a token launch. Competitive formats are Solo (1v1) and Duo (2v2). Squad (5v5) is not available in this version.

4. Account, Steam and wallet

Steam (OpenID) is the only sign-in identity. You may have exactly one active wallet at a time, which must be an externally owned account (EOA); smart wallets are not supported in this version. The wallet is linked with a SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum) signature. There is no self-service unlink: any wallet change or detachment is handled through the official Discord as a compliance path.

5. Entries, escrow and settlement

Each player pays an entry in USDC (per the defined tiers) that forms the match prize pool; the winner receives the prize (the prize pool minus the service fee).

The on-chain flow is:

  1. Spend authorization (approve).
  2. Match creation and prize lock (createGame).
  3. Settlement and split (finalizeGame).

The platform is non-custodial: funds stay in the immutable OverskillGame smart contract deployed on the BASE network, never with the platform. On-chain transactions are irreversible, and you pay your own gas (native ETH on BASE). Always review the amounts before you confirm.

6. Winnings, claim and cooldown

Each winner nets between 1.80× and 1.90× their entry, depending on the entry tier (the prize pool minus the tiered service fee). After the match is settled, the prize becomes claimable after a rank-based wait tied to your Trust rank (on-chain PlayerRank): Recruit 72 hours (default for new wallets), Established 24 hours, Veteran 2 hours, Elite 0 hours. That wait is snapshotted at settlement from your rank — it is not a fixed 72 hours for every rank. Claiming is an on-chain action that you initiate, and it requires a verified email address. You pay network gas; there is no claim fee.

7. Service fee

The platform charges a tiered service fee on the prize pool by entry tier: 10%, 7%, or 5% (capped at 10%). This is the platform’s only fee. Claiming a prize is free of any additional platform charge; you pay only network gas.

8. Conduct and anti-cheat

Cheats, unauthorized software, collusion, and any manipulation of the result are prohibited. A VAC ban leads to the account being banned and a preventive freeze of recent matches (typically the last 14 days) for review. Evidence is based on VAC, the game-server plugin, and the match demo.

9. No-show, abandonment and walkover

The following situations result in the full forfeit of your entry, with no refund:

  • failing to show up to the match;
  • abandoning a match in progress;
  • a walkover (a win by the opponent’s absence).

The absent player is excluded from the prize split. The system does not distinguish a voluntary abandonment from a connection failure.

10. Freezes, forfeiture and compliance holds

The platform may withhold a claim for:

  • suspected cheating;
  • an open dispute;
  • an administrative hold;
  • the wallet being on a blocklist (OFAC / KYT).

Confirmed cheating results in the forfeiture of the funds to the platform. Appeals are handled through the official Discord.

11. Disputes

Within a fixed 72-hour dispute window after settlement (independent of your claim wait by rank), any participant may open a dispute. The evidence (demo, logs, and match events) is attached automatically, and the claim is withheld while the dispute is open. Handling targets:

  • first response within 24 hours;
  • resolution within 72 hours.

12. Refunds

When a match is technically voided or the prize pool is still locked on-chain and recoverable before settlement, the platform prefers an on-chain cancel that returns each player’s full entry. When an on-chain cancel is not possible (stranded pot, post-settlement correction, or cancel-failure triage), a residual operational refund from the treasury may be used. The platform never pays the same pot twice (no double payout via cancel and treasury). No-show, abandonment, and walkover remain full forfeits with no refund (section 9). Confirmed cheating is a forfeit (section 10), not a refund. Player-initiated on-chain transfers (including claim) remain irreversible once confirmed.

13. Rewards and raffles (promotional)

The rewards and raffles layer is a free promotional sweepstakes. Tickets:

  • are not money;
  • are not redeemable;
  • never affect match outcomes, prizes, or matchmaking.

It is governed by its own rules and is the single, explicit exception where a random mechanism is used — always outside the competition.

13b. Redeem codes (promotional gift)

A redeem code is a free promotional gift: staff issue a code that you exchange for a specific item (a CS2 skin or a game key). It is not a sweepstakes (there is no random draw — the code names its prize) and not a sale: a code is never sold, never priced, and never earned by play; there is no path to buy one. It does not use reward tickets, does not touch a match prize pool, and has no on-chain settlement. If you resell or commercialise a prize you received, that is your responsibility under Steam’s terms and applicable law.

14. Account closure and the right to be forgotten

Closure is requested through the official Discord (no self-service): the account is marked for deletion for 30 days, after which personal data is permanently deleted. It cannot be closed while there are winnings in cooldown or frozen, or a dispute is open. Match history is anonymized (the wallet is replaced by a hash), and on-chain and audit records are retained.

15. Limitation of liability

The platform is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

  • indirect damages;
  • losses arising from user error;
  • third-party failures (Steam, the RPC node provider, the BASE network, or DatHost);
  • causes beyond our reasonable control.

16. Changes and governing law

We may update these Terms. Material changes are communicated and the current version is identified at the top of this document (this version has no re-acceptance flow). These Terms are published by the operator of the OVERSKILL.gg service. Any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you under the laws that govern your situation remain unaffected.
