h4rn accused FACEIT of failing to pay $7.5K in prize money - the platform has already responded

Bulgarian Counter-Strike 2 player David “h4rn” Benchev has publicly complained about FACEIT over issues with a prize payment. According to the esports player, the platform failed to transfer the $7.5K he was supposed to receive for strong results in a professional league.

As h4rn claims, the issue was caused by his banking details. The player said that he updated his payment information back in December 2025 and had already received one payout to the new account afterward. However, in April 2026, FACEIT allegedly sent the money to his old banking details for some reason. That account is still active, but it belongs to another person, and Benchev has no access to it.

At first, h4rn tried to resolve the issue directly with the platform’s administration, but later stated that his messages began to be ignored. After that, he decided to make the situation public.

A FACEIT representative has already commented on the matter:

“We are currently looking into this situation and working to recall the original payment, after which it can be processed again and sent to the correct account.

When the payment was processed in April, it was sent to the banking details that h4rn had originally provided. These details belong to an active bank account, but it is registered to another person whom h4rn does not have access to. That is why the payment was not returned. Our team is in contact with h4rn and separately with the bank in order to recover the funds and attempt to send them again to the account he most recently provided.”
