Withdrawals

A withdrawal moves USDC from a real-money table contract back to your wallet.

How it works​

There are two steps. First, you leave the table — between hands. Second, you sign a withdrawal transaction and the contract releases your stack to your wallet.

  1. Leave the table. Click leave at the table between hands. You can't leave mid-hand; you finish the current hand first. The contract notes that you're no longer seated and grants you permission to withdraw.
  2. Click withdraw. Sign the transaction from your wallet. The contract sends your stack directly to your wallet — no queue, no Stacked approval, no schedule. The amount is exactly your seat balance at the moment you left.

You pay the gas on the withdrawal — it's a transaction you sign. Gas on Base is typically under a cent.

Other ways you end up withdrawing​

The same withdraw step is what you use any time a contract is holding your money for you:

  • You leave a table voluntarily. The standard case above.
  • The Host kicks you between hands. Same flow — you get permission, you click withdraw.
  • The Host ends the table. Every seated player gets permission to withdraw their stack.
  • The Host declined your seat after you deposited. Your deposit waits in the contract until you click withdraw. See Deposits.
  • The 24-hour emergency exit unlocks. A separate path for the rare case settlement stalls — see 24-hour emergency exit.

In every case, Stacked never moves your funds without your signature. Whether you left, got kicked, the table closed, or you're emergency-exiting, the final click is always yours.

Why between-hands only​

A withdrawal is the contract releasing your seat balance. The seat balance is whatever was last settled on-chain — which is updated at the end of each hand. Waiting until the current hand finishes makes sure the contract knows the correct balance to release; it isn't a Stacked policy decision, it's just how the contract sees things.
