About Chessd

Our Mission

Chessd was built with one simple idea: chess players deserve to earn from their skills. We created a platform where every game matters, every move counts, and winning has real rewards.

We believe chess is the ultimate skill game — no luck, no randomness, just pure strategy. Chessd brings that competitive edge to mobile, letting players worldwide stake real money on their games with instant payouts.

What We Offer

Chessd is more than a chess app. It's a competitive gaming platform built for players who take their chess seriously:

• Staked Games: Six stake tiers from KES 20 to KES 5,000, so every player can find their comfort level
• Instant Payments: M-Pesa and USDT deposits/withdrawals — your money moves as fast as your pieces
• Fair Matching: Queue-based matchmaking ensures you play opponents at the same stake level
• Transparent Fees: A flat 20% house fee on winnings — no hidden charges, no surprises
• Secure Escrow: Both players' stakes are locked during the game, guaranteeing the winner gets paid
• Free Play: Practice locally or against the computer bot without any account or deposit required

Fair Play Commitment

Integrity is at the core of Chessd. We have zero tolerance for cheating, engine assistance, or collusion. Our systems monitor for suspicious play patterns, and violations result in permanent account suspension and forfeiture of funds.

Every game is recorded server-side, and all disputes are resolved using objective game logs and transaction records.

Built for Africa, Open to the World

Chessd was born in Kenya, built with M-Pesa integration from day one. We understand the African mobile money ecosystem and designed our payment flow around it. But Chessd is for everyone — with USDT support, players from anywhere in the world can join and compete.
