📈 4. Understanding Returns

Stakes show a multiplier, which tells you exactly how much you’ll win.

  • 1x = get your exact stake back
  • Above 1x = profit

Example:

  • Stake $50 at 1.5x → Get $75 back
  • ($50 stake + $25 profit)

🔄 Super Stakes

Super Stakes have dynamic returns until gameplay begins.

Once the match starts, your multiplier locks.


⚔️ 5. How You Win

Your stake wins if:

  • The player you backed wins the match, or
  • They meet the condition you selected (like Win By Points)

Results are determined in real-time by live gameplay.
