What are Victory Points?

Victory Points – VP

Victory Points are the main currency of our platform. Users earn VP by winning tournaments and competing in Pro-Leagues. When you deposit money into your Victory Up account, it will be given to you as Victory Points at an exchange rate of 1 NZD = 1 Victory Point, which you then use to enter tournaments to earn the big prizes. Tournaments pay out in Victory Points which users can withdraw as real-world money.

For team tournaments, the team captain will select their team members to use for the tournament. If the entry fee is VP, this will be divided between each team member and removed from their account.

How to withdraw VP?

Users can withdraw their VP from their account. This VP converts to real money at an exchange rate of 1/1 with New Zealand Dollar Value. 1 VP = 1 NZD.

*The minimum withdrawal amount for users is 30VP.
