📈 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:

Results are determined in real-time by live gameplay.
