Wallet FAQ

General Questions

Do I need MetaMask or any external wallet?

No! FortisArena provides everything. Your wallet is created automatically when you sign up. No seed phrases, no external apps, no gas fees for internal transfers.

What’s my wallet address?

You have a UID instead of a complex wallet address:
Use this UID to receive payments from other FortisArena users.

Is there a mobile app for the wallet?

Yes! The wallet is fully integrated into the FortisArena mobile app (iOS & Android). Same features, optimized for mobile.

Balances & Earnings

What are the different balance types?

Do I need to manually claim my earnings?

No! All earnings are auto-credited:
  • Tournament winnings → Instant
  • Tips → Real-time
  • Guild revenue → Weekly auto-payout
  • Org salaries → Scheduled

Why are my tournament winnings showing as “Pending”?

Pending means:
  1. Under review - Anti-cheat verification (24-48 hours)
  2. Locked - Tournament still ongoing
  3. Scheduled - Set for future payout
Once cleared, they move to your spendable balance.

Can I convert between balance types?

Yes:
  • FRT ↔ FPT: Internal swap (minimal fee)
  • Crypto → Fiat: Sell function in wallet
  • Fiat → Crypto: Buy function (coming soon)
  • Points: Cannot convert (rank only)

Withdrawals

How long do withdrawals take?

What’s the minimum withdrawal amount?

  • Crypto: $5 equivalent
  • Fiat: $10 equivalent
  • Internal: No minimum

Why was my withdrawal rejected?

Common reasons:
  1. KYC incomplete - Verify your identity first
  2. Daily limit exceeded - Try tomorrow
  3. Suspicious activity - Contact support
  4. Bank details incorrect - Update in settings
  5. Under 18 - Age verification required

Can I cancel a withdrawal?

  • Pending withdrawals: Yes, cancel anytime
  • Processing withdrawals: Contact support immediately
  • Completed withdrawals: Cannot reverse

Security

Is my money safe?

Yes! Multi-layer protection:
  • Ledger-based accounting (auditable)
  • 2FA for all withdrawals
  • AI fraud detection
  • Manual review for large amounts
  • Cold storage for platform reserves

What if I get hacked?

Contact support immediately: We can freeze your wallet within minutes if suspected fraud.

Can staff access my wallet?

No!
  • Staff cannot initiate withdrawals
  • Staff cannot see your private keys
  • Support can only VIEW transaction history for troubleshooting
  • All staff actions are logged and audited

What happens if FortisArena shuts down?

Your on-chain balances (FRT, FPT) are yours forever. You can withdraw to any external wallet anytime. Fiat balances are held in segregated accounts.

Fees

What are the fees?

Why am I being charged a fee?

  • Crypto withdrawals: Blockchain network fees (not us)
  • Fiat withdrawals: Payment processor fees
  • Currency swaps: Liquidity provider fees

Are there hidden fees?

No! All fees are shown before you confirm any transaction. No surprises.

Technical

What blockchain does Fortis use?

  • FRT & FPT: BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
  • Supported deposits: BSC, Polygon
  • Why BSC?: Low gas fees, fast confirmation

Can I deposit from any exchange?

Yes! Use these networks:
  • Binance: BSC (BEP20)
  • Coinbase: Send to Polygon address
  • Other exchanges: Ensure BSC/Polygon network
⚠️ Warning: Sending on wrong network = Lost funds!

What if I send crypto to the wrong address?

Unfortunately, blockchain transactions are irreversible. Always:
  1. Double-check the address
  2. Use copy-paste (not typing)
  3. Send a small test amount first
  4. Verify network (BSC/Polygon)

Why is my deposit not showing?

Check:
  1. Confirmations: BSC needs 15+ confirmations
  2. Network: Did you use BSC/Polygon?
  3. Address: Correct address?
  4. Time: Can take up to 30 minutes
If still missing after 1 hour, contact support with tx hash.

Can my guild have a shared wallet?

Coming Q2 2026! Guild Treasury feature will allow:
  • Multi-signature withdrawals

  • Revenue auto-distribution

How do organization payments work?

  • Schedule recurring payments to players
  • Bulk payouts to entire rosters
