Bounties & competitions

Prize pots start from a house seed and grow with play. Prizes are in OWX. Table bounties unlock as their game gets played; every eligible winner shares the pot, and winners are queued for payout and reviewed by staff.

The fine print

How the money works

Three rules run the whole house. Everything else is bookkeeping.

01
⛁ Chips in, OWX out. CHIPS are bought with OWX, ICP, ckBTC, ckETH or ckUSDC. Chips play the tables — blackjack, dice, flip, slots. Bought chips can be cashed out in OWX (2% fee) once they've been wagered once; free chips can't be cashed out. Prizes are won through the bounty pots, and playing with chips is what enters you. (The free arcade never touches chips.)
02
Flip, dice and slots keep 4.0% per bet. Blackjack's edge comes from its rules. For every 100 chips placed on flip, dice or slots, 96.0 come back to players as winnings — on long-run average, per bet. Three honest notes. One: it's an average — any single bet wins or loses in full, and short sessions are pure luck. Two: it's per bet, not per bankroll — chips you win back and wager again meet the same edge again, every time they cross the table. Three: there's no fee on buying chips or on winning; cashing out to OWX has a 2% fee. Every deal and roll is verifiable.
03
Every chip wagered adds a fixed 0 OWX to the open prize pot. That fixed rate is 25% of the house edge counted in internal pool units (100 per chip), converted at a fixed 0 OWX per unit that was set once when pools moved to OWX. It is not 25% of the edge's dollar value at the OWX market price, so the dollar value of what a bet adds moves with the OWX price. It feeds the bounty pot that is open on that table — live, bet by bet, while you play. Pots start from a house seed and grow with play. When the pot reaches its prize, every eligible player who's up on the table shares it; winners are queued for payout and reviewed by staff, and the next numbered round can open on a fresh pot (a round marked FINAL doesn't come back). No pot open on a table = nothing accrues anywhere — the table says so right on the page.

The arcade is a different world: free, no chips, ever. When an episode is live the week's best verified scores split the prize pool at the deadline — no live episode means scores are just for bragging until the next one opens.

For the auditors — the exact live numbers

flip/dice/slots edge 4.0% · pot share 50% × (1 − buy burn share 50%) = 25% of the edge in pool units · edge per chip 4 units × 25% = 1 units × 0 OWX per unit (fixed, not a market price) → an open pot climbs 0 OWX per chip wagered. Example: a 4,000 OWX pot opening on a 2,000 OWX house seed needs — chips of play across all players, then winners are queued for payout. All values are read live from the house settings.
