Compete in Matches and Tournaments

Compete for cash on Scorbit machines. There are two kinds of competition:

  • Tournaments are run by a venue. Buy an entry, play during the tournament, and the top scores share the jackpot.
  • Matches are private competitions you start yourself and invite friends to. The best score takes the jackpot.

The Compete tab

Open the Compete tab to see live tournaments near you, your matches, and recent results. Use Search competitions… or the filter icon to narrow the list.

Before you can compete

Competing for cash requires you to:

  • be 18 or older, with your birthday on your profile;
  • verify your phone and turn on two-factor authentication;
  • verify your age, a one-time identity check.

Complete your profile to compete

Until you've verified your phone and age, the Compete tab shows a Complete your profile to compete checklist. Tap each step to finish it.

Entries are limited to $100 a day and $500 a week.

Example: enter a tournament

A tournament

  1. Open a tournament from Compete, Home, or a machine's Competitions section.
  2. Check the Jackpot, the Entry fee, the Rules (how many places get paid), and the end time.
  3. Tap BUY ENTRY, agree to the Competition Rules, and confirm. Some tournaments offer a free entry: tap Claim Your Free Entry.
  4. Go to the tournament's machine and Tap In with Tap to Play. If the machine has no Tap Pad, open its page and tap PLAY A GAME instead. Look for the trophy icon next to your name in the game lobby: it means your entry is applied.
  5. Play your best game. Your score counts toward the tournament and appears under CURRENT STANDINGS.

You can buy more entries to try again. If you claim a slot and change your mind before the score starts, unclaim it to get your entry back.

Example: challenge friends to a match

  1. On Compete, tap Start under Start a Match. You can also tap + on a machine's Competitions section.
  2. Name the match and pick:
    • an Entry fee between $2 and $20. Part of the fee goes to Scorbit; the rest builds the jackpot;
    • a Timeframe: Today, 1 Week, or Custom;
    • the Venue and Machine.
  3. Tap START MATCH, review the rules, then buy your own entry.
  4. Tap Invite Players and choose from the people you follow and people who follow you, or send an invite by text message.

Invited players get a notification and can Accept Invite or Decline Invite. When the match ends, the best score wins the jackpot. If nobody joins, you get a full refund.
