Nothing unverified counts.
Every ranked result is checked by our server, computer vision or recorded evidence before it moves a rating.
Camera AI
Record the game and our model counts every make. No arguing about the score.
Real players
Ranked play needs a verified ID, so the person across from you is who they say they are.
Court check-in
Both players check in at the court before the game starts, so every match is really played.
Fair disputes
If players disagree, the evidence decides: the recording, the move log and a review.
Put something on it.
ID-verified adults will be able to play for money where it's allowed. Both stakes are held before the game starts and paid out the moment the result is verified.
Always optional: every game is free to play for ranks. 18+ only, verified ranked matches only, where permitted by law. Some games are never stakeable.
Sota Coins
Earn coins from matches and achievements, then spend them in the Sota Store on gear for your avatar. Show it off in your Locker.
Questions.
Is Sota free?
Yes. Finding rivals, playing, ranks, trophies and your Sota Score are all free. Money matches are optional and coming later.
Do I have to bet money?
Never. Casual and ranked play are free. Stakes are a separate, opt-in mode for ID-verified adults, where it's legal.
How do you know who won?
For basketball, record the game and our camera AI counts the makes. For Sota's in-app games like chess, our server is the referee: it checks every move and decides the result. For other sports, both players report and the recording settles any dispute.
What's the difference between casual and ranked?
Casual is open to everyone and just for fun. Ranked counts toward your Elo and rank, and needs a quick ID check so everyone plays fair.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Add friends, challenge them directly, or team up for basketball from 2v2 to 5v5 and take on another squad.
