DARK HORSE RESERVE
League buy-ins and championship payouts, handled in-house. No third-party delays.
How It Works
From deposit to payout, the whole loop in four steps.
-
01
Fund your Reserve
Add funds via card or ACH. Your balance lives in a segregated Reserve account, ready whenever a league opens for buy-in.
-
02
Buy in to any league
One tap covers any Dark Horse league buy-in. The Reserve confirms instantly and locks your spot for the season.
-
03
Compete
Manage your roster all season. Your buy-in is held safely in escrow until the title is decided.
-
04
Get paid, automatically
The moment the championship is settled, winnings land in the winner's Reserve. No forms. No follow-ups. No waiting on a third party.
Why Reserve
Built for the way Dark Horse leagues actually move money.
Instant Settlement
Championships end Sunday night. Winnings land before Monday morning. No invoice. No manual triggers. Just paid.
League-Aware
The Reserve knows your league's buy-in and payout structure. It pays exactly what was agreed at draft, every time.
One Account, Every League
One Reserve serves every Dark Horse league you join. Buy-ins and payouts flow through the same balance. Nothing scattered across half a dozen apps.
Built for Trust
The transparency standard of LeagueSafe, brought in-house.
Segregated Escrow
Reserve balances are held in a dedicated escrow account. Your money stays yours, fully protected and untouched until the league pays out its winners.
Full Transaction History
Every deposit, buy-in, and payout is logged per league. Open the ledger anytime. Nothing happens behind a curtain.
Commissioner Oversight
The commissioner can verify every payout against league rules before it lands. Disputes are routed and resolved without anyone losing access to their own funds.
Until Then
Reserve launches alongside the Dark Horse app in 2027 / 2028.
Until Reserve goes live, every Dark Horse league continues to use LeagueSafe for buy-ins and payouts. Same money safety. Same payout structure. Same trusted process you already know.
