Challenges

How Challenges Work

A challenge is a prize attached to a target on a specific game. Someone posts it — the house or another player — naming the game, the multiplier to beat and the minimum qualifying bet. The first player to hit that multiplier takes the prize.

The rules, precisely

• It is tied to one game. Only bets placed on the named game count. Playing something else, however well it goes, does nothing.

• There is a minimum bet. Bets below it are ignored, though the threshold is applied with a 5% tolerance, so a stake just under the line still qualifies.

• The target is a multiplier, not an amount. Your win divided by your stake has to reach or exceed the number on the challenge, so a small stake can take a large prize.

• First past the post wins. The moment a qualifying bet reaches the target the challenge closes and the prize is paid to that player.

• Nobody wins, most of it comes back. If a challenge reaches the end of its life with no qualifying bet, 95% of the pot is refunded.

Some challenges are restricted to a campaign, meaning only players who arrived through a particular referral are eligible. Those are labelled on the challenge itself.

For the variant where holding the lead matters rather than reaching it first, see King of the Hill.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I win a challenge?

Place a bet on the named game, at or above the minimum stake, and hit a multiplier at or above the target. The first player to do it takes the prize and the challenge ends.

Does my bet size affect whether I win?

Only in that it has to clear the minimum. The target is a multiplier, so what matters is the ratio of your win to your stake, not the size of either.

What happens if nobody completes a challenge?

95% of the prize pool is refunded when the challenge ends with no qualifying bet.

Can I create my own challenge?

Challenges can be created by players as well as by the house, naming the game, the target multiplier and the minimum bet.
