How do I change my stake tier?

The tier system: flexible by default

On Ktkarena, you're never locked into a tier or a level that would fix your commission, your bonuses, or your maximum challenge : the choice stays flexible with every challenge.

You're free to stake at any tier at the time of each challenge. You choose:

• Discovery (1K-10K) for a small challenge or a test.
• Standard (10K-50K) for a regular challenge.
• Premium (50K-200K) for a medium challenge.
• Elite (200K-1M) for a big challenge.
• Institutional (1M-20M) for a high-level challenge.

No automatic "promotion". No "demotion". You choose based on what you need at that moment.

How to pick your tier when starting a challenge

On the stake screen (after picking an event and an outcome), you see a tier selector:

| Discovery | Standard | Premium  | Elite   | Institutional |
| 1K-10K    | 10K-50K  | 50K-200K | 200K-1M | 1M-20M        |
| 5%        | 4%       | 3%       | 2%      | 1.5%          |

You tap the tier of your choice. The screen adapts with:

• The allowed amount range.
• The commission that will be applied.
• The estimated winnings for the amount you're about to stake.

You can switch tiers several times before confirming, with no impact whatsoever. It's a simple selection.

Mixing tiers throughout the day

You can place several challenges at different tiers on the same day. Here's a typical example:

• 9:00 AM: you see a match kicking off at 9 PM. You stake 5K on Discovery (quick test).
• 2:30 PM: another event interests you. You stake 30K on Standard.
• 6:45 PM: a big evening match. You stake 150K on Premium.
• 8:50 PM: a last-minute challenge. You stake 8K on Discovery (just for fun).

Each challenge is independent. You pay each one's commission based on its tier (5% for Discovery, 4% for Standard, 3% for Premium). You're not "promoted" because you started a Premium challenge.

The "tier promotion" myth

Many players ask us: "How do I move up a tier?" Answer: you don't move up, you choose.

There's no progression system where you unlock the tier above by earning XP or accumulating a certain volume. The only criterion is the exact amount you choose to stake on each challenge.

So:

• No track record required to stake on Elite (first time is OK).
• No "extra verification" for Institutional (standard KYC is enough).
• No "loyalty" scheme locking you into a tier.
