Every game has its full rules, with examples, in How it works · here is what to know before you put money in
You can lose what you put in
- Only put in money you are fine losing
- Before you pay, each game shows the most you can lose
- Prices can move fast, and a lead can change in the last minutes
Who decides the result
- Races: the contract reads every price itself from public Base pools, 5-minute averages at fixed times · nobody, us included, can pick a price
- Up or Down and Closest guess: ETH's price is the middle of Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp, posted by our keeper with the time it was taken · anyone can check each price against those exchanges, and the contract refuses a price that jumps too far
- If prices can't be read in time, the round is called off and everyone gets their money back
Your money
- You pay from your own wallet and payouts go straight back to it · we never hold your money
- The contracts have no owner, no pause and no upgrade · nobody can move players' money
- If a payout can't be sent, it stays in the contract for you to take any time
- Smart contracts can have bugs · keep amounts to what you are fine losing
Fees and network costs
- 10% of what a winner wins, never of the money put in
- Nothing on money that comes back: unmatched amounts, cancelled or dead-even rounds
- Opening a private race costs $0.25
- Your wallet pays Base network fees, usually a fraction of a cent
Tokenized stocks
- Stocks race as tokenized versions on Base
- Their issuer can pause them, and can block any address, a game's contract included
- Stock races run only during US market hours
Who can play
- Adults only
- Not available to US persons
- Not available where games like these are not allowed
