Calcutta & side pots are pass-through

ds.fish takes 0% of calcutta, big-fish, and side-pot money. We track every buy-in and auto-calculate the splits — 100% of the pot goes to the winners you set.

No surprises at settlement

Entry fees flow straight to your payout sheet. The only platform fee is the one anglers already paid at registration — nothing is deducted from your prize pool or pots.
