Chess with crypto: USDT deposits and withdrawals
EonChess uses USDT, a stablecoin worth about one dollar, for prizes. You can deposit and withdraw on three networks: BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), Solana and TON. The minimum deposit is 5 USDT and EonChess charges no fee to withdraw, only the network cost.

Why USDT
USDT holds a stable value around one dollar, so a game's prize does not change in value between winning it and withdrawing it. That lets you play for a specific amount without worrying about the ups and downs of other cryptocurrencies.
How to deposit
You deposit from your own wallet or from an exchange:
- Open your EonChess wallet and choose the network: BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), Solana or TON.
- Copy your deposit address, which is unique to your account.
- Send USDT on the same network from your wallet or exchange. The minimum is 5 USDT.
- Your balance appears automatically when the network confirms the transaction, usually within a few minutes.
Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Send only USDT, on the right network and to the exact address: if you get it wrong, the funds may be lost.
How to withdraw
You request the withdrawal from your wallet, choosing the network and entering your destination address. Before you confirm, the form shows the minimum amount, the network fee and the exact amount you will receive: EonChess charges nothing to withdraw.
Every withdrawal is confirmed with a 6-digit code sent to your email or to the Telegram bot chat, or with your withdrawal PIN if you set one up. Without that confirmation it is not processed, even if someone has access to your session.
It usually takes a few minutes. Large withdrawals and those from recent accounts go through a manual review of up to 24 hours.
An anti-money-laundering measure
The amount you deposit must be played at least once in games with a stake before it can be withdrawn. It is an anti-money-laundering measure, and in your wallet you can see how much is left to play.
