Ask the awkward ones.

It joins the reward fund and is held until results are in. Complete the challenge and it comes back to you in full, plus your share of the reward. Don’t complete it and it stays in the fund for the people who did.

Evenly, always. Everyone who completes gets exactly the same amount, whether they finished first or last. There is no ranked reward mode on Pledro.

On Grind challenges, nothing. On real-money challenges when they arrive, our share is up to 10% of everything entered and never more than that, in any circumstance. It comes only from entries that stay in the fund, and if everyone completes we take nothing at all. In full: half of the entries that stay in the fund, or 10% of the fund, whichever is smaller, then trimmed again so the reward divides into exactly equal shares. The whole arithmetic →

Nothing is returned to the entrants: completing is the only route back to your entry, and that is what gives the challenge its weight. It is stated on the screen before you commit. Pledro keeps 10% of the fund, the same cap as anywhere else, and the other 90% goes to charity. Real-money entries are not live yet, so no charity has been paid a penny and none is chosen yet. Where that 90% goes →

Yes, on real-money challenges when they arrive: £250 into a public challenge and £100 into a private one. The rule lives on our servers, so it holds whatever the app asks for. You can also set your own lower caps, and a weekly limit applies by default. Looking after you →

A real-money challenge runs only if three or more people enter it. If it comes up short, it is called off and every entry is returned in full, with a notification telling you so. Nobody can pull a challenge under that line by leaving it: once a second person has entered, an entry that leaves stays in the reward fund and still counts toward the field.

No. They are free, they cannot be purchased, and they are not money. They exist so the whole loop can be learned without any spending.

Real-money entries are coming, 18+, UK, pending authorisation. They are not available today and we won’t give a date before we can keep it.

Results land up to about an hour after the window closes. That hour covers the sync grace period, verification, and distributing the reward. It is not instant, on purpose.

Yes, four steps: type, rules, window, entry. You can keep it private and invite people, or list it publicly in the arenas.

Eight rooms in the challenges hub, Pledro Official, Big Funds, Quick Ones, This Weekend, Free Entry, Starting Soon, Filling Up and Charity, so open challenges are browsable rather than buried in one list.

Four: custom, quick (a 24 to 48 hour window), weekend, and start-when-full, which waits for a set number of entrants before it begins.

While you are the only one in it, yes. Withdraw whenever you like, no reason needed, and your entry comes back in full, before or after it starts. The moment somebody else enters, everyone in it is committed, including you: leaving then means your entry stays in the reward fund and completing the target is the only route back to it. That is deliberate, it is what gives the challenge its weight, and it is on the screen before you commit and again before you leave. If you created the challenge you can call it off only while you are still the only one in it. After that you leave like anybody else, and the challenge carries on without you.

Every entry is returned in full and you are told. It happens when a real-money challenge does not reach three entrants, when the person who created it leaves while still the only one in it, or when we have to void one from our side. Nobody is paid and Pledro takes nothing.

You compete against the target. Friends in the same challenge see each other in the standings and the discussion, but their result never reduces yours, everyone who completes is paid the same.
