FAQ
Common questions
What is cfUSD?
cfUSD is the play-money balance caddie.fun uses for stakes. It has no cash value and cannot be withdrawn - it keeps an honest ledger of who won. Real money between friends settles on Venmo, outside the app.
What is the minimum entry fee?
Entry fees start at 1 cfUSD per player and are capped at 10 cfUSD per round. Side-game exposure is capped at 5 cfUSD per side game and 5 total per round.
What if someone leaves mid-round?
If a player leaves, their entry is held in escrow until the round settles. The remaining players play it out and the leaver forfeits per the format rules.
