Your Cadoo wallet is the money layer under every game: deposits in, entry fees out, Earn bonuses and stake recoveries back in, then cash-out when you’re ready. Here’s how the live rails work so wallet lines stop feeling mysterious.
Adding funds (deposit)
Open Wallet → Deposit and pay with PayPal or Stripe (cards and wallets). Live fee: 3.5% + $2. Minimum deposit is $50; maximum per deposit is $1,000.
Money games that need a deposit also require a deposit unlock (Bronze I, Premium, or an unlock path).
Joining games and Earn payouts
Entry fee leaves your wallet when you join. Finish successfully and that stake unlocks. Forfeited stakes from players who don’t finish can fund winners after the platform take on that pot.
Earn / bonus pool games use an additional prize pool plus a max payout per finisher — often shown as Earn $Y. Those bonuses land as payout lines when you finish in the funded set.
Hosting a game (CYOC)
When you fund an additional prize pool, your wallet is charged the pool plus 10% of the pool as host processing at create. Create in the app or on cadoo.games/cyoc. Players still join and play in the app.
Cash out
Request a withdrawal in the app. Live fee: 10% + $2. Payouts are processed by ops to PayPal or Stripe — not an instant auto cron. Identity checks may apply.
Premium
Cadoo Premium ($1.99/wk · $4.99/mo · $39.99/yr) unlocks Premium games, unlimited free joins (non-Premium free trial is 3), and hosting/deposit gate exemptions while active. It does not replace deposit/withdraw fees on cash movements.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my deposit less than what I paid?
Deposits include a 3.5% + $2 processing fee. The wallet credit is what remains after that fee.
Is cash out instant?
No. You request a withdrawal; ops processes it manually to PayPal or Stripe. The fee is 10% + $2.
What’s the difference between stake return and Earn payout?
Stake return unlocks the entry fee you paid when you finish. Earn payout comes from a host- or brand-funded prize pool up to the game’s max payout.
