# Wallet & Transaction History

The **Wallet** page is where you see your Gems, buy more and check every Gem that has moved in or out. Open it from **Wallet** in the sidebar.

It shows three things:

* **Your balance**: the Gems you have right now.
* **Deposit**: opens **Purchase Gems** to buy a Gem pack.
* **Transaction History**: every credit and debit on your wallet.

## Buying Gems

1. Click **Deposit** on the Wallet page. On desktop you can also click the **+** next to your balance at the top of the site, and a Marketplace checkout offers **Purchase Gems** when you're short.
2. In **Purchase Gems**, pick a pack.
3. Pay in the secure checkout (powered by Stripe) and click **Pay** (the button shows the price).

Current packs:

| Pack       | Price (USD) |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| 500 Gems   | $4.99       |
| 1,000 Gems | $9.99       |
| 2,000 Gems | $19.99      |
| 5,000 Gems | $49.99      |

The **Purchase Gems** window always shows the packs and prices available to you.

### After you pay

| You see                                                                  | What it means                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Purchase successful!**                                                 | Your Gems will be added to your account shortly.                                                               |
| **Payment processing**                                                   | Your payment method takes time to settle. Your Gems are added as soon as it does. You don't need to pay again. |
| **Your payment did not go through** / **Your payment was not completed** | No Gems were added. You can try again.                                                                         |

Some payment methods take you to the provider's site to finish and then bring you back to your Wallet, which shows the outcome.

A **Gem purchase** row with the status **Pending** appears in your history as soon as you pick a pack, and stays pending until the payment settles. If you don't finish paying (for example, you close the checkout or leave the provider's page), it's closed as **Failed** after about a day and you aren't charged. Payments a bank is still processing stay **Pending** until they settle.

Gem purchases are final. See the [Terms of Service](/info/terms-of-service.md).

## Transaction History

The table lists your transactions, newest first, 10 per page.

| Column               | What it shows                                                                                         |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Transaction**      | What kind of movement it was (see the labels below). Marketplace purchases also show the item's name. |
| **Amount**           | **+** for Gems in, **−** for Gems out.                                                                |
| **Transaction date** | The day it happened.                                                                                  |
| **Status**           | **Pending**, **Confirmed** or **Failed**.                                                             |
| Arrow button         | Opens the Contest, for anything tied to one.                                                          |

Use the buttons above the table to filter: **All**, **Withdrawals** (Gems out) or **Deposits** (all Gems in, not just purchases).

| **Battle victory**   | A Contest prize paid to you.                                                                                             |
| **Battle entry fee** | **−** You joined a Contest, or seeded one you host with a Prize Boost. **+** The refund when that Contest was cancelled. |
| **Contest boost**    | **−** You donated to a Contest's prize pool. **+** The refund when that Contest was cancelled.                           |
| **Tip**              | **−** You tipped someone. **+** Someone tipped you.                                                                      |
| **Shop purchase**    | You bought something in the Marketplace.                                                                                 |
| **Reward refund**    | A Marketplace order couldn't be delivered and its Gems came back.                                                        |

### Statuses

* **Confirmed**: done. Almost every transaction is confirmed instantly.
* **Pending**: a Gem purchase whose payment hasn't settled (or hasn't been made) yet. The Gems aren't in your balance until it's confirmed.
* **Failed**: the payment didn't go through or was never finished. No Gems were added.

## Your balance can't go negative

Anything that would take your balance below zero is refused, whether it's a Contest entry fee, a boost, a tip or a Marketplace purchase.

## When something doesn't add up

1. Look for a **Pending** Gem purchase. Its Gems arrive once the payment settles.
2. Check for refunds and payouts you may have missed (a cancelled Contest, a refunded Marketplace order, an unclaimed prize on the [Rewards](/gems-and-wallet/rewards.md) page).
3. Still wrong? [Contact support](/help-and-faq/contact-support.md) with the date, amount and label of the transaction in question.

## Privacy

Your Wallet page and transaction history are visible only to you. Some Gem activity is public, though:

* **Boosts**: a donation to a Contest appears in the activity feed and is announced in the Contest's Discord threads, with your name and the amount.
* **Tips**: anyone can see who tipped a story in the activity feed.
* **Leaderboards**: tips and donations count toward the **Generosity** ranking on the Rivals leaderboard, and the Discord bot's `/gem-leaderboard` command lists the RivalRyze players with the most Gems.
