# Claim your winnings

The arena never pushes tokens to you. When a round is finalised on-chain it records a **claim**: an amount that only your wallet can release. This is deliberate. Nobody, not even the game's operator, can redirect a claim to another address.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the Wallet & claims drawer

The **BAWSAQ Arena** panel sits at the side of the screen while you play. Open the **Wallet & claims** drawer. If you have a claim waiting, a **Redeem claim** button is there.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Press Redeem claim

Your wallet asks you to confirm one transaction. It costs a little gas. Confirm it, and the tokens land in your wallet within a few seconds.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Older claims

Claims stay available across later rounds. If you played several rounds before claiming, press **more** and then **Load older claims** to see all of them. Each round is one claim per wallet: your returned stake, bounties, winner share and any refund, added together.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can enter the next round while an old claim is still unclaimed, as long as you have 1,000 BAWSAQ sitting in your wallet. If you need the winnings to pay for the next entry, claim first. Winnings are never reinvested automatically.
{% endhint %}

## What is in a claim

| You...                          | Your claim holds                                              |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Survived to the bell            | Your 1,000 back, plus bounties, plus the pot or a share of it |
| Were knocked out                | The bounties you earned before you fell, if any               |
| Deposited more than once        | Every extra entry, refunded in full                           |
| Entered after the cutoff        | Your deposit, refunded in full                                |
| Were in a round that was voided | Your deposit, refunded in full                                |

Total claims always equal total deposits. Nothing is skimmed and, in survivor rounds, nothing is burned.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bawsaq.org/start-here/claim-your-winnings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
