Sivex Pass — the Run, the Table and the Playdesk
The Run, the Table, the Playdesk
No evaluation. No fee per attempt. Your tournaments are the test.
- The Run. Finish in the top 10% of any ranked tournament you entered that day, seven UTC days in a row. Any one qualifying finish clears the day. Miss a day and you're back on day one tomorrow. Tournaments with fewer than 20 players don't count.
- The Table. Everyone who cleared a Run that month gets a seat at an invite-only match on a Tuesday. Winner takes all. One qualifier, no match: the seat is theirs.
- Sivex Playdesk. A desk of up to $100,000, 70% of the profit paid to you monthly. One rule: a 10% loss from the high-water mark closes the desk. Nothing else.
What else is in the Pass?
| The Run → Table → Playdesk | Pass only. |
|---|---|
| The Drop | Pass only. $5,000 every two weeks to the top 1% by Sivex Rating among players with at least 10 ranked matches in the window. |
| Custom matches | Free: join any. Pass: create your own and set an organizer fee. |
| Your name | Pass: plated on the terminal rail and leaderboard, with colour, flair, frame and a pinned stat. |
| TradeLab | Free: 7 sessions per UTC day. Pass: unlimited. |
| Global chat | Free: Read along; post after a cash entry in the last 7 days. Pass: Post any time — no weekly entry needed. |
| Tournament entry and withdrawals | Identical on both. The Pass never buys entries and never changes limits. |
How is the Pass paid for?
From your Sivex wallet. Same balance you fund by crypto deposit. We don't accept cards.
When you activate, we debit your wallet for the period's price and extend your premiumUntil date by 30 days (monthly) or 365 days (annual). The payment shows as a regular wallet transaction and in your payment history at Settings · Pass.
What happens at renewal?
The renewal worker runs once a day at 03:00 UTC.
- Auto-renew on and the wallet has enough: we debit the same period you were on and extend the Pass without interruption.
- Auto-renew off, or the wallet is short: the Pass ends cleanly, we notify you, and you go back to Free. No grace period, no penalty for coming back later.
How do I cancel?
From Settings · Pass, turn off auto-renew. The current period stays active until it ends. No proration, no refund.
You can turn auto-renew back on any time before the period ends. After it passes, activate again from the Pass page.
Pass time from the referral coupon
When a friend you referred plays their first paid tournament, they earn a signup-bonus coupon. It can contain Pass time (a week or a month) or Tournament Credit. Granted Pass time is identical to a paid Pass while it lasts.
Common questions
- What does the Sivex Pass cost?
- $290 a year ($24 a month, 38% less than monthly) or $39 for 30 days. Paid from your Sivex wallet balance, which is denominated in USD and funded 1:1 with USDC/USDT.
- What is the Run?
- Seven consecutive UTC days in which you finish in the top 10% of at least one ranked tournament you entered that day. Any ranked tournament counts, so a bad first match does not end the day. Miss a day and you start again from day one, unless a Shield covers the miss. There is no fee per attempt and no limit on attempts.
- What is the Table?
- An invite-only match on a Tuesday each month between everyone who cleared a Run that month. Winner takes the Playdesk. If only one player cleared a Run, they take it without a match.
- What is the Sivex Playdesk?
- A desk of up to $100,000 on the Sivex Playdesk — it opens at $10,000 and scales with paid finishes. You keep 70% of the profit, paid monthly after the first full month. One rule: a 10% loss from the high-water mark closes the allocation. No daily limits, no consistency rules, no targets. Your Pass is on us while you hold a desk.
- How do I pay for the Pass?
- From your Sivex wallet balance, the same balance you fund by crypto deposit. We do not accept cards. Tournament credit and sponsored ticket funds are not eligible; only withdrawable wallet balance counts.
- What happens at renewal?
- On day 30 or 365, if you have enough wallet balance and auto-renew is on, we debit the wallet and extend the Pass by another period. If your wallet is short, the Pass ends and we send you a notification. Top up to reactivate.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. Turn off auto-renew in Settings at any time. You keep the Pass until the current period ends. No proration, no refund. You can turn auto-renew back on before the period ends and nothing is interrupted.
- Does the Pass include tournament entries?
- No. Entry fees are completely separate. The Pass never buys entries and never changes what a tournament pays.
