What payment methods are available for tournament registration?
Payment options may vary depending on the tournament and organizer settings.
In general, there are two main payment types:
1. Online payment (via Stripe)
Some tournaments require online payment during registration.
Please note that, in addition to the entry fee, a service fee will be added.
In this case:
You will be redirected to a secure payment page.
Payment is processed via Stripe.
You can pay using a credit or debit card (and other methods supported by Stripe in your region).
After successful payment:
Your registration will be confirmed automatically (or manually approved by the organizer).
If payment fails:

Your status may appear as Confirmed or Pending (depending on organizer settings).
The entry fee is paid directly to the organizer at the venue.
Important: Even if payment is made on-site, registration must still be completed through the platform before the deadline.
I withdrew from a tournament. When will I receive my refund?
Tournated provides the registration platform, but refund decisions and processing are managed entirely by the event organizer.
If you have withdrawn from a tournament and are expecting a refund:
Please allow the organizer a reasonable time to process the request.
Refund timelines may vary depending on the organizer’s internal policies and banking procedures.

Click on the event’s league/tour.
Go to the Contacts tab.
