Frequently Asked Questions

GameVesta is a skill-based gaming platform where you play browser-based HTML5 games and compete with other players for cash prizes based on your scores — all in PKR (Pakistani Rupees). Prizes are awarded purely on skill and ranking, with no element of chance.

Click "Sign Up" in the top navigation bar. Enter your name, email, and a password (minimum 6 characters). Confirm your password and click "Create Account". You'll be logged in automatically.

Yes! Creating an account is completely free. Many games are also free to play. Some games have optional entry fees or per-attempt costs for higher earning potential.

GameVesta works on any modern browser — desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone. Games are fully responsive and support both mouse/keyboard and touch controls.

Currently, please contact the platform administrator to reset your password. Password reset via email is planned for a future update.

There are four types:

• Free Rewarding — Play for free, earn PKR based on your score.

• Paid Rewarding — Pay a small fee per attempt, earn higher PKR rewards.

• Free Competitive — Join competitions for free, win prizes from a fixed pool.

• Paid Competitive — Pay a one-time entry fee to join a competition with larger prizes.

Browse games on the Home or Games page, click on a game card, read the instructions on the pre-game screen, then click "Start Game" (free) or "Pay & Play" (paid). The game loads in fullscreen.

Yes! You can play unlimited times. For rewarding games, only your best score in each reward period counts toward earnings. For competitive games, only your best score counts for the final ranking.

Rewarding games have a repeating cycle (e.g., every 30 minutes or every day). Your best score resets at the start of each new period, giving you fresh chances to earn. A countdown timer on the game card shows when the current period ends.

If a game has a time limit, a timer appears in the HUD bar at the top. When time runs out, the game ends automatically and your score is submitted.

Yes. Click the pause icon (⏸) in the HUD bar at the top of the game. Click again to resume. The timer pauses as well.

• FREE — No cost to play.

• PKR X / attempt — Per-play cost (paid rewarding game).

• Entry: PKR X — One-time contest entry fee (paid competitive).

• 🏆 — Competitive game with a prize pool.

• Popular, New, Hot — Admin-assigned tags to highlight games.

When the competition's scheduled end time is reached, the system automatically ranks all players by their best score. Prize money is credited to the top players' wallets. The game is then unpublished.

Points are what you earn during gameplay (e.g., popping bubbles, hitting targets). Score is calculated from your points with a time bonus — finishing faster gives a higher score. Score is what determines your ranking and PKR earnings.

Score = Points × (1 + max(0, 120 − time) / 600). Finishing under 120 seconds gives you a bonus of up to +20%. After 120 seconds, there's no bonus — score equals points.

The system uses a best-score model. If your new score is lower than your existing best for the current period/contest, only your play count is incremented — the score stays at your previous best.

Leaderboards show the best score per player for a specific game, contest, or reward period. Players are ranked from highest to lowest score. The top 3 get gold 🥇, silver 🥈, and bronze 🥉 badges.

Yes! After each play, your rank is shown on the game-over screen. You can also check the Leaderboard page to see your position across all games and contests.

Go to the Leaderboard page and select "My Entries" to see your performance across all games. Or visit your Profile page for a detailed breakdown including per-contest and per-period stats.

In rewarding games: your score is converted to PKR using a conversion rate (e.g., 10 points = PKR 1). Money is auto-credited to your wallet.

In competitive games: fixed prizes are awarded to the top-ranked players when the competition ends.

The conversion rate determines how many points equal PKR 1. For example, if the conversion rate is 10, scoring 150 points earns you PKR 15.00. Each game can have a different conversion rate.

For rewarding games, money is credited instantly when you set a new best score. If you beat your best, only the difference is added.

For competitive games, prizes are credited when the competition ends and the system distributes rewards to top players.

Your balance is always visible in the navigation bar at the top (green badge showing "💰 PKR X"). Click it to go to the full Wallet page with your transaction history.

A transaction is any movement of money in your wallet:

• Credit (green ↗) — Money added (game rewards, competition prizes, admin credit).

• Debit (red ↙) — Money deducted (attempt costs, entry fees, admin debit).

• Withdrawal (yellow ↻) — Your request to cash out.

Yes. The balance in the navbar refreshes every 30 seconds. On the Wallet page, you can see real-time transaction history.

You'll see an "Insufficient Balance" warning with a "Top Up Wallet" button that takes you to the Wallet page. You need to have funds credited (by winning games or admin credit) before playing paid games.

1. Go to the Wallet page.

2. Enter the amount you want to withdraw.

3. Click "Proceed to Payment Details".

4. Choose your payment method: Bank Transfer, EasyPaisa, or JazzCash.

5. Enter your account details and confirm.

6. The amount is deducted immediately; an admin will approve the request.

• Bank Transfer — Select from 27+ Pakistani banks, provide account title and number.

• EasyPaisa — Provide account title and phone number.

• JazzCash — Provide account title and phone number.

The withdrawal request is sent to the admin immediately. Processing time depends on the admin's review. You'll receive an email notification when your withdrawal is approved or rejected.

If rejected, the full amount is automatically refunded to your wallet. You'll receive an email notification explaining the rejection.

The minimum withdrawal is PKR 0.01. There's no maximum limit — you can withdraw your full balance.

Currently, once a withdrawal is submitted, it's processed by the admin. Contact the administrator if you need to cancel.

Competitions run between a scheduled start and end date. During that window, all players play the same game and compete for the best score. When the competition ends, prizes go to the top-ranked players.

Prizes are fixed amounts set by the admin (e.g., 1st: PKR 500, 2nd: PKR 300, 3rd: PKR 100). When the competition ends, the system automatically credits the winners' wallets.

Some competitions require a minimum number of players. If the threshold isn't met by the end, prizes are not distributed. If set to 0, prizes are always distributed regardless of player count.

Yes! You can join anytime while the competition is running (between scheduleStart and scheduleEnd). You'll just have less time to improve your score.

Only paid competitive games require an entry fee. Free competitive games let you join at no cost. The entry fee is a one-time payment per contest — play unlimited times after that.

Go to the Leaderboard page and select the specific game. You can switch between past contest rounds to see final rankings and winners.

Go to the Profile page (click your avatar in the navbar → Profile). You can update your name, email, and avatar.

Yes! Your Profile page shows detailed stats: total plays, unique games played, financial summary (won, redeemed, balance), and per-game breakdowns with contest-level detail.

Redemption rate = (total redeemed ÷ total won) × 100%. It shows what percentage of your earnings you've withdrawn or had paid out.

Click your avatar in the top-right corner, then click "🚪 Logout" from the dropdown menu.

The Referral Program lets you invite friends to GameVesta. When they sign up using your unique referral link, verify their email, and start playing — you earn a bonus percentage on their game rewards for a limited time.

Go to the Referrals page (click "🤝 Referrals" in the navigation menu). Your unique referral link and code are displayed at the top. You can copy the link or share it directly.

You earn a percentage of your referred friend's game rewards. For example, if the bonus is 10% and your friend earns PKR 100 from a game, you get PKR 10 as a referral bonus. The exact percentage is set by the platform admin.

Referral rewards are active for a limited period (e.g., 30 days) starting from when your friend verifies their email. After the period expires, you no longer earn bonuses from that referral.

Yes, there is a maximum number of referrals per user (set by the admin). Check your Referrals page to see your current count and limit.

A referral becomes active once your friend completes email verification. Until then, the referral stays in "pending" status and no bonuses are earned.

If the system detects suspicious activity (e.g., the referrer and referee sharing the same IP address), the referral is automatically flagged for admin review. Flagged referrals do not earn bonuses until approved.

Referral bonuses are automatically credited to your wallet as regular credits. You can see them in your transaction history and withdraw them like any other earnings.

No. Creating multiple accounts for self-referral is against our Terms of Service. Such activity is automatically detected and may result in account suspension.

Try these steps:

1. Refresh the page.

2. Clear your browser cache.

3. Make sure JavaScript is enabled.

4. Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge recommended).

5. Check your internet connection.

Scores are saved when the game-over screen appears. If you close the browser or navigate away mid-game, the score is lost. Also ensure you're logged in — guest plays don't save scores.

A game marked "Not Live" is currently unpublished by the admin. It could be under maintenance, a future competition that hasn't started yet, or a past competition that has ended.

You can browse games but need to log in to play, earn rewards, and appear on leaderboards.
