Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about playing Fantasy Premier League for real prize pots on TopPot. How leagues work, paying with USDC, payouts, fees, refunds, and eligibility.

What is TopPot?

TopPot is a platform where Fantasy Premier League managers create private mini leagues with real USDC prize pots. Everyone in the league pays an entry fee, and the top 3 managers at the end of the season split the pot.

How do FPL prize leagues work?

You create or join a mini league, link your official FPL team, and pay an entry fee in USDC. Your normal Fantasy Premier League gameweek points decide your position. When the season ends, the prize pot is paid out to the top 3 automatically.

Is TopPot gambling?

TopPot is a game of skill. Your results depend on how well you manage your Fantasy Premier League team across the season, not on luck. You are responsible for checking that skill prize pots are legal where you live. You must be 18 or over, and TopPot is not available to residents of the United States.

How are winners decided?

Winners are decided purely by official Fantasy Premier League final standings within your league. TopPot reads results from the official FPL API and never sets or influences them.

How are prizes split?

By default the prize pot is split between the top 3, roughly 60% to 1st, 25% to 2nd, and 15% to 3rd. Exact splits can vary by league setup.

Is there a platform fee?

No. TopPot takes 0%, so 100% of every entry fee goes into the prize pot for the winners.

How do I pay the entry fee?

Entry fees are paid in USDC, a dollar backed stablecoin, on the Base network. If you are new to crypto, you can top up with a card in the app and you do not need any prior wallet experience.

What are USDC and Base?

USDC is a stablecoin that always aims to be worth one US dollar. Base is a fast, low cost Ethereum network. Together they let TopPot hold prize pots and pay winners quickly and cheaply.

When and how do I get paid?

Payouts happen automatically after the Fantasy Premier League season ends. The smart contract sends each winner their share of the pot directly to their wallet, with no manual claim needed.

Can I get my entry fee back?

You can withdraw your full entry while a pot is still open and has not locked for the season. Once a league locks and the season is underway, entries stay in the pot until settlement.

Are my funds safe?

Entry fees are held in an onchain smart contract escrow on Base that TopPot does not control. TopPot cannot freeze, move, or take your funds. Payouts are handled by the contract based on FPL results.

How do I create a private league?

Sign in, link your FPL team, and create a pot. You set the entry fee and the number of players, then share your invite code with friends so they can join.

What happens if the FPL season is cancelled?

Settlement relies on official FPL data. If a season is cancelled or materially changed, settlement may be delayed. In those cases TopPot works with league creators toward a fair resolution.
