# Entry Fee

Every match requires a ticket payment to participate. 

The payment currency is determined by the tournament host, which includes:

* Toncoin
* Points
* In-game items or NFTs
* Game tokens
* USDT

{% hint style="info" %}
By Q4 2024, MiniTon will expand game tokens for entering tournaments. 

The community will decide, through a voting process, which Crypto Tokens can be utilized for entering the tournament.
{% endhint %}

***

**Payment methods:**

* [Telegram Payment](https://core.telegram.org/bots/payments)
* [TON Wallet Bot](https://t.me/wallet)

***

**When to Pay Entry Fee:**

* Players must ensure that their account balance is sufficient before they choose tournaments.
* After completing opponent matching, the platform deducts the Entry Fee from the player's account balance.

{% hint style="info" %}
The ticket fees paid by players constitute one of the sources of the match prize pool. Upon completion of player matchmaking, all ticket fees are securely locked in the smart contract until the end of the tournament.
