Section 1

Most real-prize platforms support a small set of payment modes. Some are deposit-only; some support both deposits and withdrawals. Start by listing your mode, then read the platform page for the current limits and the KYC documents you will need.
| State | What it means | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Initiated | The platform is preparing the request | Wait, do not retry |
| Processing | The payment partner is verifying | Wait, do not retry |
| Completed | The funds are in your bank or e-wallet | Save a receipt |
| Rejected | The payment partner declined the request | Read the rejection reason, correct it, then retry |
Section 2

Most withdrawals require a completed KYC step. The step usually takes a few minutes once documents are ready. Read wallet KYC for the document list and the common rejection reasons.
Section 3

Most rejections are easy to solve: name mismatch, document expiry, unregistered phone. Document each rejection with a screenshot, correct the cause, and retry once. If the retry fails, escalate through customer care.
