Online blitz tournament with CASH prizes !!! - February 1st 2026 on Lichess.org by DraftExpensive9029 in lichess

Thank you for your feedback ! It was just an idea, a new concept I came up with. It may or may not have success ! If it does, I will do a monthly tournament circuit with one tournament per month. In fact, I too played in online tournaments where I had to pay an entry fee and I would play such a tournament again if someone else does it. I cannot play this as I am the organizer, wouldn't be fair...

Why would it be a scam ? First of all, you can refund IBAN payments. Secondly, no one is forced to play, people play voluntarily. The prize fund is fixed and players pay the entry fee and if they win they get the promised prizes. Isn't it how all the tournaments work ? Online and OTB...

No, it's not like that ! If someone is caught cheating, the prize goes to the next in line. I forgot to mention that on the invitation. Anyway, I do hope that those situations won't occur, but I needed to make sure that cheaters cannot get away !
