About Zed Chess — One-on-One Chess for Money

What makes Zed Chess different

True 1v1: cash games are player vs player — not vs the house computer for prize money.
Play for money: stake matches, secure escrow, automatic winner payouts.
Mobile money only (for now): MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, and Zamtel.
Zambia-first: ZMW wallet, local networks, local payment rails.

Payments: Elicate Pay

Deposits and withdrawals are powered by Elicate Pay. Card and bank transfers are not currently supported — only mobile money payment types are available.
