# Main & Sub-Accounts

A sub-account is an independent account created under your primary Rails account. It maintains a separate balance and monitors its own activities while sharing the same linked wallet as your main account. Rails sub-accounts enable you to manage specific activities separately while keeping everything connected to your main Rails account and wallet. Your main account, established at signup, serves as the default account.

Your Main Account:

{% columns %}
{% column width="41.66666666666667%" %}

* Is treated as a separate account
* Has its own balances and activity
* Shares the same linked and connected wallet as the main account
* Transfers between accounts are not supported at this time
  {% endcolumn %}

{% column width="58.33333333333333%" %}

{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

At present, your main account is where you:

* Connect or link a wallet to your account.
* Find your Daily or Monthly Statements.  Note: Statements for sub-accounts aren't available just yet, however you can export the data itself from the sub-accounts [Portfolio](https://help.rails.xyz/general/navigating-the-platform/portfolio-page-overview) screen.
* Make Deposits; deposits to sub-accounts are not currently supported, but [withdrawals](https://help.rails.xyz/deposits-and-withdrawals/withdrawals) operate similarly to your main account.

#### Play Sub-Account

Play is our trading evaluation platform, built to help you learn perpetual futures trading in a realistic setting, with simulated capital. When you win an evaluation in [Play](https://play.rails.xyz/app/evaluation/BTC-USD), a dedicated sub-account is automatically created if you win your evaluation, and claim your trading credit.

This sub-account is automatically created when trading credits are claimed, is denominated with your Rails username and displays the Rails Play logo for easy identification.
