Entry Fee vs. Division Fee vs. Withdrawal Fee – What's the Difference?


When setting up an event, providers can configure three types of fees: Entry Fee, Division Fee, and Withdrawal Fee. Understanding these differences helps ensure a smooth registration process and clear fee structures for players.

Fee Type
Description
Entry FeeAn optional per-player fee that applies to all divisions a player registers for. If enabled players must pay this in addition to any division fees.
Division FeeA fee specific to each division a player registers for. Player must pay this fee for every division they enter.
Withdrawal FeeAn optional fee charged if a player withdraws from all registered divisions. It can only be set if an entry fee is enabled and must be less than the entry fee.

Example Scenario:

A player registers for two divisions with the following setup:

  • $10 Entry Fee (applies once, no matter how many divisions)
  • $20 Division Fee per division
  • $5 Withdrawal Fee (charged if the player withdraws from all divisions)

Total cost at registration:
 $10 (entry fee) + $40 (two division fees) = $50

If the player withdraws from all divisions:
 $5 withdrawal fee is charged.

Entry Fee – Important Notes

  • Entry fees are optional—if enabled, players must pay the set entry fee in addition to any division fees.
  • If an entry fee is enabled, doubles divisions must use the ‘Pay Separately’ payment option.
  • The minimum entry fee is $6.

A Stripe processing fee applies to each entry fee, varying by country and account: contact Stripe for details.

Withdrawal Fee – Important Notes

  • Withdrawal fee is optional and can only be enabled if an entry fee is set.
  • The withdrawal fee must be less than the entry fee.
  • It is only charged if a player withdraws from all registered divisions.
  • Once an event has registrants, the withdrawal fee cannot be changed.
  • Providers can set a rule to charge the withdrawal fee only after a certain date.
