- Match: A head-to-head typing race between two Participants.
- Practice Match: Free play; no impact on Rank or Balance.

- Staked matches may not be available in all jurisdictions. Void where prohibited.
4. Responsible Gaming
If you feel your play is becoming problematic or addictive, please reach out for help. Staked matches are intended for responsible adults only.
5. Account Security
You are solely responsible for all activity under your Account. Notify support@typepvp.com immediately of any unauthorized access.
6. Deposits & Withdrawals
Instant & Automated: All deposits and withdrawals are processed instantly. Transactions are final once confirmed; you bear responsibility for address accuracy.
7. Gameplay & Winning
Match Duration: Each Match lasts 30 seconds.
Word List: A hidden pool of English words is used—unknown to Participants until Match start.
Win Criteria:
- Highest count of correctly typed words at Match end wins.
- If tied, higher accuracy (correct ÷ total typed) wins.
- If both count and accuracy are identical, the Match is a draw and Stakes are returned.
8. Ranking & Leaderboard
Rank Points determine your Tier (Wooden → Mythic). Leaderboards display top players; your personal rank is shown when authenticated.
9. Anti-Cheat & Fair Play
- We employ automated systems to detect bots, scripts, macros, collusion, and other fraudulent behavior.
- Accounts found cheating may be permanently banned and forfeit eligibility for winnings.
- Alternatively, suspected cheater Accounts may be placed into an “infinite lose-streak” ban pool, where all future Matches result in losses (opponents automatically win).
- If you believe you have been banned or placed in the lose-streak pool in error, please contact support@typepvp.com or reach out via X with evidence of legitimate play; we will review and may reinstate your Account.
10. Tournaments

- Tiebreakers: On an exact tie, a 15-second sudden-death rematch determines the winner.
