Two players, one pot, a server that keeps the clock.

Pick a stake, take the game, play it out. The result settles the moment the position is decided — no claims, no disputes, no waiting on the other side.

The pot is held, not promised

Both stakes leave both balances before the first move and sit in escrow until the game has a result.

The server keeps the clock

Time is measured where the moves are validated, so a slow connection is not a lost game.

Every cent is an entry

Stakes, payouts, deposits and withdrawals are double-entry lines you can read back in your statement.

Cards are handled by Stripe

Payments are taken on Stripe’s own page. Gambit never sees or stores your card details.

Clocks and settlement run on the server
