The 4 transparency guarantees
Ktkarena commits to 4 concrete transparency points regarding the commission. These aren't marketing promises - each one is verifiable by you.
Guarantee 1 - Displayed BEFORE every bet
When confirming a bet, the app systematically displays:
- The identified tier (Discovery, Standard, Premium, Elite, Institutional).
- The applicable commission rate (5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1.5%).
- The exact amount in KTK you'll pay if you win.
- The net winnings (gross winnings minus commission) you'll actually receive.
No bet can be confirmed without you having seen these 4 pieces of information. If you don't see them, report it: it's a critical bug to fix.
Guarantee 2 - Never adjusted after the fact
Once your bet is confirmed, the commission is frozen at its displayed rate. Even if:
- Ktkarena changes its rates in the meantime → your bet keeps its old rate.
- You move to a higher or lower tier between staking and resolution → your bet keeps the tier rate from the moment you staked.
- The bet is resolved months later → the rate displayed at the start applies.
It is technically impossible to retroactively modify a bet's commission. The history is immutable.
Guarantee 3 - Calculated with a public formula
The commission is no algorithmic mystery. Here is the exact formula:
Commission = (Opponent's stake) × (Tier rate)
Example:
- You stake 50,000 KTK against someone who also stakes 50,000 KTK.
- Identified tier: Standard (between 10,000 and 50,000 KTK).
- Applicable rate: 4%.
- If you win, commission = 50,000 × 4% = 2,000 KTK.
- Net winnings = 50,000 (stake returned) + 50,000 (winnings) − 2,000 (commission) = 98,000 KTK.
See the calculation in detail.
Guarantee 4 - Recorded in an immutable audit log
Every transaction (bet placed, bet resolved, commission taken, KTK balance changed) is recorded in an immutable transaction log.
What this means concretely:
- Ktkarena cannot modify a commission after taking it.
- You can export your full history from your settings.
- Every line is timestamped and encrypted.
- Even administrators cannot erase a record.
Important. If you find a discrepancy between what was announced before a bet and what was actually taken afterwards, it's a critical bug. Report it to support@ktkarena.com with the transaction ID. Full refund if the bug is confirmed.
How to verify it yourself
If you want to make sure everything adds up, here are 3 ways to verify:
Method 1 - Before every bet
Read the confirmation screen carefully. The commission amount is displayed in exact KTK (not an approximate percentage). That amount is what will be taken, not anything else.
Method 2 - After every winning bet
Compare the amount credited to your KTK balance with what was announced. The difference (if any) must be exactly the commission displayed at the start.
Method 3 - History export
In the app, go to Account → Data → Export my full history. You get a JSON file with all your transactions, including the commissions taken. Each line contains:
- The transaction ID.
- The exact date and time.
- The tier.
- The commission rate.
- The exact amount taken.
