FAQ
Common questions about rounds, fees and fairness. The game runs on Solana mainnet.
How does a round work?
Everyone who joins a round adds SOL to one shared pot. When the round's timer runs out, one player wins the whole pot, minus a small fee.
The more you put in, the bigger your slice of the wheel and the better your chance. The minimum is a small minimum, and you can add more during the same round to grow your share. Joining closes before the timer ends, and the draw starts from that fixed list of players.
How is the winner picked?
Your deposit buys entries in proportion to the SOL you put in, so your chance is exactly your share of the pot. Put in 1 SOL of a 4 SOL pot and you have a 25% chance.
When the round closes, the game asks MagicBlock's verifiable random function (VRF) for a random number, which arrives with a proof that it wasn't chosen by anyone. The game's Solana program then picks the winning entry as that random number modulo the total number of entries, and whoever holds that entry wins. Nobody, including us, can pick or predict the result.
How can I check a round myself?
Open any round from History. Its page re-checks the draw in your browser, reading straight from Solana rather than from our server: it confirms the randomness request was made when the round closed, verifies MagicBlock's VRF proof, and recomputes the winning entry and the winner from the list of deposits.
How fairness works explains each step.
What is the fee?
The fee is a small percentage of the pot. It is set on-chain and fixed for each round when the round opens, so it can't change while your SOL is in the pot.
It is only taken from rounds that are drawn: the winner receives the pot minus the fee. If a round is cancelled, nobody pays anything and every deposit is refunded in full.
Where do fees go?
All of the fee goes to the treasury wallet, which is run by an automated buyback bot, separate from the game's program. After every round, the bot uses the fee to buy $JACKPOT through Jupiter and burns it in the same transaction, so the supply goes down for good. Very small fees are batched until they're worth the network fees.
Until $JACKPOT launches, fees build up in the treasury. Once it launches, that backlog is bought and burned in one go. Every buy and burn is a public Solana transaction anyone can check from the buyback wallet, and the total burned is shown on Stats.
What is $JACKPOT and what's its contract address?
$JACKPOT is the chance token. Fees from drawn rounds buy it back and burn it, so its supply only goes down.
Contract address: TBA. Once it launches, the address is shown here, on Stats and on our official X account. Ignore any other address: scammers often launch look-alike tokens.
Why does joining a round cost a little more than my bet?
Rounds have no player limit. To make that work, your place in each round is stored in a small Solana account that you pay the storage deposit for: about 0.001 SOL with your first deposit in a round, plus about 0.00024 SOL for each deposit.
This is not a fee. It doesn't go into the pot or change your chances, and it is returned to your wallet in full when the round is closed.
What if I'm the only player?
A round needs at least two players. If the timer runs out with only one, the round is cancelled and the deposit is refunded in full, with no fee. The same happens if the random number doesn't arrive in time. Refunds are sent back to your wallet automatically; if one is ever slow, a Refund button appears on the Play page.
Who holds the pot? Can anyone take it?
The pot is held by the game's Solana program, not by a person or a company wallet. The program only lets SOL leave a round in three ways: the prize to the recorded winner, the fee to the treasury, and refunds to depositors of a cancelled round. No one, including us, can withdraw a pot any other way.
The program can be upgraded by the operator's key, for example to fix a bug. Its source and a verified build are published, so anyone can check that the deployed program matches, and any upgrade is public on-chain.
Is this real money?
Yes. The game runs on Solana mainnet and every deposit is real SOL. You must be 18 or over, and only play with an amount you can afford to lose.
