What Happens to Cheaters
Secure Money Handling
When you play for real stakes, your money is protected with our blockchain-based escrow system.
Escrow System Explained
Think of it like a trusted middleman. When you start a wagered game:
Both players' stakes go into a secure digital "lockbox"
Neither player can access funds during the game
Winner's reward is released automatically
No human touches the money - all handled by secure code
You never have to trust your opponent - the system guarantees fair payouts.
