Tables, stakes and payouts
Free, practice and testnet tables, how seats are paid for and refunded, the 5% fee, and deposits and withdrawals on testnet.
Testnet only. Online tables with stakes run on test networks with test tokens that have no value. There is no real-money play.
Kinds of tables
| Table | Who plays | Stake |
|---|---|---|
| Practice | You and three bots, in your browser | None |
| Free | People online; bots fill empty seats 20 seconds after the first player sits | None |
| Rooms | People online, 2 to 4 seats | Fixed per room: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 test USDC/USDT |
| Your stakes | People online; whoever opens the table picks the stake | 0.50 to 1,000 test USDC/USDT |
Joining a table with a stake
- Pick a table and a seat. Your seat is held for 150 seconds while you pay.
- Your wallet signs the entry for exactly the stake. The tokens go into the game's vault contract on that network, not to anyone's account.
- The game starts when every seat is paid.
If a table isn't full 10 minutes after the last payment, it's cancelled and everyone is refunded by the contract.
Payouts
- The winner receives the whole pot minus a 5% fee. Example: 4 players × 5 USDC = 20 USDC pot, the winner gets 19 USDC.
- Players can pay on different networks at the same table. The winner is paid on each network the table collected on.
- Payouts are made by the vault contract. The contract only pays a winner signed by the game's referee key, or refunds; the contract owner has no way to take stakes.
Getting test tokens
- Open Wallet → Deposit and copy your address for the network you want.
- Get test USDC from Circle's faucet at faucet.circle.com (20 test USDC per request, once every 2 hours per address and network).
- Send it to your in-game address. It shows up in your balance after the network confirms it.
Withdrawing
Wallet → Withdraw: pick the network and token, enter an address and an amount, confirm. You don't need gas:
- USDC on Base, Arbitrum and Avalanche moves with a signed authorisation that the relayer submits.
- Tokens on BNB Chain need one transaction from your wallet; the game first sends you a little BNB for the fee (a few times a day at most).
- On Solana the game pays the fee. Sending to an address that has never held that token costs 0.30 USDC extra, to open its token account.
There's a limit of 20 withdrawals per day per account.
