Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of stuff can I predict?

We've got everything from the big sports leagues (NBA, Premier League, etc.) to entertainment events like Box Office numbers and movie reviews. If there's a number involved, you can probably predict it in an Arena.

What are "Beats"?

Beats (BTS) are your in-game points. You use them to grab "Game Passes" for the events you want to join. You can get more by playing, watching short ads, or topping up if you're feeling serious.

How do I score more Beats?

What's a Game Pass?

It's your ticket to an event. Once you have a Pass, you can submit your predictions, see what the rest of the crowd is thinking, and fight for the top of the leaderboard.

What's the cost?

Early birds get the best deal!

• • Early Entry: Passes start at just 50 Beats
• • Dynamic Pricing: The price increases as more players join the market. Get in early for the best value!

How do I make a prediction?

You pick the outcome using points. For a football game, you might predict 2.1 to 1.3. Why the decimals? It lets you be super precise. If you think it's a toss-up between 2-1 and 3-1, going for 2.5 shows you're playing the middle ground!

Can I change my mind?

Totally. You can tweak your prediction as often as you want while the event is live. If things change on the field, change your play!

How do I win?

It's all about two things:

• • Accuracy: How close were you to the real result?
• • Conviction: If you predicted something different from the crowd and got it right, you score way higher.

What is the "Bounty Pool"?

This is the prize pool. When players join an event, their Game Pass points go into the pool. The best players who beat the bots get to claim their share in real rewards.

Who is the "Gatekeeper"?

The Gatekeeper is the Final Boss of the event. It's a smart AI bot that sets the benchmark score. To win any Bounty, you have to score higher than the Gatekeeper. Here's the best part: The Gatekeeper does not take a share of the Bounty.

The entire Bounty pool is shared 100% amongst the human players who beat the Gatekeeper. For example, if only one person beats the bot, they claim 100% of the Bounty! The Gatekeeper only "wins" the bounty if it successfully beats every single human player in the Arena.

How do I get my rewards?

Once an event is over, your rewards are added to your account balance. When you've got at least $10, you can request to claim it and we'll send it over via Wise.

What is R-Score?

This is your global ranking. It tracks how good you are over the long haul. Beat the crowd consistently, and your status goes up. Everyone starts at 1500 — are you good enough to climb into the elite ranks?

Technical details available in the Terms of Service.

What is the "Crowd Buzz"?

We show you what the rest of the players (the "Consensus") are predicting. Keep an eye on the "Divergence" metric — if it's low, everyone agrees. If it's high, the room is divided, and there's a big opportunity to score points by being right!

How does the Arena Chat work?

Every Arena has its own dedicated chat stream. You can use the Public Stream to discuss strategy with the global community or create a Private Room just for your friends or league.

The chat is designed to foster Solidarity against the Gatekeeper. Share insights, debate the consensus, and work together (or compete) to ensure the bots don't walk away with the Bounty!

What if a game is postponed?

No sweat. If a game doesn't happen, we'll refund your Game Pass points back to your account.

Is this just another gambling site?

Nope. This is a game of skill. You're not betting on outcomes; you're being rewarded for how accurately you can predict data. Plus, you can play for free by watching ads to earn points.
