Payment Policy

Refund Policy

This policy covers refunds for Gem purchases, tournament entry fees, and any other transactions on EsportsChamp.

Effective: June 2026 · Alpha Tech Labs

General Refund Position

All Gem purchases and virtual coin transactions are final and non-refundable unless a verified technical error occurred on our end, or a tournament was cancelled by the platform.

Gem Purchases (In-App Purchase)

Gems are purchased through Google Play Billing (via RevenueCat). Once a purchase is successfully processed and Gems are delivered to your account, the transaction is considered final.

  • Gems delivered to your wallet are non-refundable
  • Gems have no monetary value and cannot be converted to cash
  • For billing issues raised through Google Play, Google's own refund policy applies — contact Google Play support directly for those disputes
  • For platform-side issues (Gems purchased but not delivered), contact us at support@esportschamp.in within 48 hours of purchase
Account Deletion: Deleting your account forfeits all remaining Gems. No refund is issued for unspent Gems upon account deletion.

Tournament Entry Fees (Coins)

Coins used to enter tournaments are generally non-refundable. Exceptions are listed below.

✓ Automatic Coin Refund — Tournament Cancelled by Platform

If a tournament is cancelled by our admin team (insufficient players, technical failure, or emergency), all entry fees are automatically refunded to your coin wallet. No action required from you.

✓ Automatic Coin Refund — Multi-Stage Tournament (Leave Before Round 1)

In multi-stage bracket tournaments, you may leave before your Round 1 stage begins. When you leave, your slot is released and your entry fee is refunded to your coin wallet. Once Round 1 starts, leaving is not permitted and no refund is issued.

✗ No Refund — Player-Initiated (After Tournament Starts)

Once a tournament match has started, entry fees are forfeited. No-shows are disqualified and receive no refund.

✗ No Refund — Disqualification for Rule Violations

If you are disqualified for cheating, hacking, or other violations, your entry fee is forfeited.

Technical Error Refunds

If a verified technical error on our platform results in an incorrect charge or undelivered Gems/coins, we will make it right.

Eligible Errors

  • Gem purchase processed via Google Play but Gems not credited within 24 hours
  • Double deduction of coins for a single tournament registration
  • Coins deducted for a tournament that failed to register you
  • Platform error during coin earn event that caused incorrect credit

Failed Payments

If your payment fails during a Gem purchase, no charge is applied and Gems are not credited.

  • Any temporary hold placed by Google Play is released within 3–5 business days
  • You will not see Gems in your wallet if the purchase failed
  • Retry the purchase with a valid payment method or contact Google Play support
  • If your account shows a Gem credit without a corresponding payment, contact us immediately

Dispute Resolution

Before initiating a chargeback with Google Play or your bank, please contact us first. Most billing issues can be resolved directly and quickly.
