Rulebook
Rules
There are four of them. Every figure below is the figure the engine actually uses.
- 1
Pay to own a market.
The board is 173 real gambling markets. One operator owns each of them at a time. Pay the price on a market page and it is yours: your name, your colour and your link on it, immediately.
- 2
Anyone can take it from you for 1.5× what you paid — immediately.
There is no auction, no window and no waiting. The takeover price is always 1.5× what the current owner paid, rounded up to the next whole pound, and it is printed on the market page. Pay it and the market changes hands the moment the payment settles. Then it is yours at that price, and the next person pays 1.5× yours.
- 3
20% of every pound goes to the players.
Every pound an operator spends splits 20% to the prize pot and 80% to us. There is one pot for the whole board — markets do not hold pots of their own, so a market page shows what it has put in, not what it is holding.
- 4
Every visitor is in the prize draw. One entry per day you come back. No sign-up.
A seat is created for you on your first page view. You get 1 entry for every day you come back, entries never expire, and there is no form, no account and no purchase at any point. Nothing anyone buys improves their odds, because there is no paid route in. Free entry, no purchase necessary, 18+.
Opening prices
A market nobody owns costs its opening price. That price is set by market size, and size is the only thing the S / A / B / C label means.
- S8 markets$100
- A20 markets$100
- B40 markets$100
- C105 markets$100
What gets an operator delisted
- An upheld regulator finding of withheld or unreasonably delayed player withdrawals.
- Offering anything in exchange for a player rating, or otherwise trying to manipulate its rating.
- Reversing a payment after a sale has been published.
A delisted operator loses every market it owns and is not refunded. Its ledger entries stay published, because deleting the record is how a public board becomes worthless.
Player ratings
Players rate the operators they have dealt with. No rating is published until an operator has 25 of them — below that it reads “Not rated”, which is itself information. An operator cannot pay to raise a rating, suppress a report or remove a complaint.
The prize draw
Free entry, no purchase necessary. No deposit, wager or payment of any kind is needed to enter or to be paid, and there is no paid entry route at all. You must be 18 or over, and 21 or over where local law requires it.
Entry is automatic and anonymous — no sign-up, no account, no form. You get 1 entry for each day you visit, and entries never expire, so someone who has come back for three months holds ninety. Winning resets your entries to zero. Entries have no cash value and cannot be bought, sold, transferred or gifted.
Up to $1,000 the pot pays one winner. Above that it pays 40% to one winner and 5% to each of 12 runners-up.
Winners are given a claim code on the site and have 30 days to claim with it, at which point we collect the details needed to pay and to verify age. Unclaimed prizes return to the pot. Prizes are paid in cash by bank transfer, never as casino credit or anything that has to be gambled to be realised.
