FAQ
Why do I need to Sign to Play if it’s free?
Signing confirms intent and ties the entry to your connected wallet session. It helps keep competitive entries fair.
How do I know my run will count?
If the competitive badge is visible, your run is armed and your score will auto-submit when the run ends.
Why did my badge disappear?
Credit entry badges clear after the run ends. Pass badges clear when the timer expires.
What if the tournament is inactive or ended?
When there isn’t an active tournament window, entry and submissions are blocked. You can still play Free Mode anytime.
What if my transaction is pending or not found?
Wait for confirmation, then try redeeming again. Pending transactions can’t be credited yet.
It says “Already redeemed.” What does that mean?
That transaction hash was already used. No duplicate credits will be added.
I pasted the wrong hash. Can I fix it?
Yes. Paste the correct transaction signature and redeem again.
Mobile wallet tip?
Use Phantom. Open Pink Cardinal inside the Phantom Browser for the smoothest connect and signing.
Can I send from an exchange?
Sometimes. Auto-redeem works best when you send from the same wallet you connected on Arcade. Some exchanges batch or obscure sends, which can make verification unreliable.
