HOW TO PLAY

You pay one entry and you're in for the whole week. During the week there are 4 surprise check-ins. Nobody knows when they'll be until one hour before, when a 5-minute window is announced on the round page. Somewhere inside that window is a hidden second. Press GM once, as close to it as you can.

• A table takes new players until check-in 1 ends (or until it has 100 players). After that it plays out its week, and a new table opens straight away, so everyone at a table has the same four chances.
• You can press only once per check-in, and only while the window is open.
• Players who show up for more check-ins rank higher. Among players with the same number, the one who was closest overall ranks higher.
• Scores and the hidden seconds are revealed when the week ends.
• The top 3 share the pot: 50% / 30% / 20%. Exact ties split their places.
• Your entry stays in the game until the week ends; there's no early exit.

Tip: keep the round page open. It refreshes itself when a check-in is announced and when the window opens.

The first bid makes you king. To take the crown from someone, bid at least 10% more than the current bid. Every bid puts the clock back to 60 seconds. Whoever is king when the clock hits zero wins the pot.

• Every bid goes into the pot and is not returned, even if someone outbids you. Only the last king gets paid.
• You can't outbid yourself while you hold the crown.

Pick red or blue and put in any amount above the minimum. When the round ends, one color is drawn. Everyone on that color shares the pot, in proportion to what they put in.

• The draw is 50/50, no matter how many people are on each side.
• If nobody picked the drawn color, everyone is refunded.

Everyone buys one ticket at the same price. When the round ends, one ticket is drawn and its owner takes the whole pot. Everyone has the same chance.

Guess a number from 0 to 100 and put in your stake. When the round ends a number is drawn. The closest guess wins the pot; if several guesses are equally close, they share it in proportion to their stakes.

Pick one of 10 doors. When the timer runs out, one door is drawn and everyone behind it splits the pot equally. Every door has the same chance of being drawn, but the fewer people behind it, the bigger each share. The trick is guessing where everyone else will go.

• How many people picked each door is hidden until the round ends, so nobody can wait and grab the quietest door at the last second. Only the total number of players is shown.
• If nobody is behind the drawn door, or fewer than two people played, everyone is refunded.

Everyone pays the same entry and decides how many of the 10 lanes their duck will cross, from 1 to 9. Each road is open for 2 minutes and a new one opens straight after. When the timer runs out, or as soon as the road is full, the ducks set off and one car comes down a random lane. Ducks that stopped before that lane are safe; any duck that reached it is hit.

• Safe ducks share the pot by lanes crossed: a duck that crossed 6 lanes gets three times the share of one that crossed 2.
• Every lane is equally likely to get the car, so crossing more lanes is riskier: 1 lane is safe 90% of the time, 9 lanes only 10%.
• Nobody can see how far the other ducks are going until the crossing, so nobody can wait and react at the last second.
• At least 2 and at most 20 players per road. If the car catches every duck, or only one joined, everyone is refunded with no fee.
• After the crossing, the round page shows a replay and a leaderboard with everyone's lanes and payouts.

Back one of the six horses (#1 Thunder, #2 Blue Moon, #3 Lime Rocket, #4 Sunset, #5 Violet, #6 Frost) with any stake from the minimum up. Betting stays open for 3 minutes. Then the race runs live for everyone at the same moment: keep the round page open and you'll see the countdown, the race and the finish together with every other player.

• The backers of the winning horse share the pot in proportion to their stakes.
• How much was bet on each horse stays hidden until betting closes, so nobody can pile onto the quiet horse at the last second.
• The winner is drawn from the round's secret number, with an equal chance for every horse that got at least one bet. A horse nobody backed can't win, because there would be nobody to pay.
• If every bet is on the same horse, or only one player joined, there's no race and everyone is refunded with no fee.
• After the race, the round page shows the finishing order, how much was bet on each horse and a leaderboard of every player's payout. You can replay the race too.

Duels are started by players, not by the site. On the Duels page, choose a stake and your move and press Play now. If someone is already waiting at that stake, you play the one who has waited longest, straight away. If nobody is, your move is posted as a challenge for the next player. You can also accept a specific challenge from the list. The result appears the moment a challenge is accepted.

• Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, paper beats rock.
• Your opponent can't see your move until the duel is over, and you can't see theirs.
• A tie refunds both players, with no fee.
• If nobody accepts within 30 minutes, your stake comes back automatically. You can also cancel it yourself before it's accepted.
• You can have up to 3 open challenges at once, and you can't accept your own.

Buy tickets at a fixed price, up to 20 at a time and 100 per draw. Once a day one ticket is drawn and its owner takes the pot. Each ticket has the same chance, so more tickets mean better odds. The round page shows your current chance.
