Every Battle has a Purse, shown on the Battle's details page along with how it's split among the top finishers. For example, 1st place might take a set percentage, 2nd a smaller one, and so on. Prizes are real cash, delivered to your Prize Wallet.
Where does the prize money come from?
Purses are put up by Bankroll U and, for sponsored Battles, by our sponsor partners. Players never contribute to the Purse.
