Rules

Pay ETH. You get miners. Clear min and you're the hooked one. If a ten-minute block goes by with nobody over min, the round dies — and that person can take the pot.

1. You take miners

   Pay ETH on this page. You get miners. You can't sell them, send them, or list them. When the round dies, those miners die with it. The next miner gets more expensive as more get taken. Same ETH later buys fewer miners.

2. Over min, you're the hooked one

   Send any amount and you still get miners. Only a buy at or over min makes you the hooked one — the last person who cleared it. That buy keeps the round alive. Under min you still get miners, and you still get on miners if people buy after you. You're not the hooked one. You can't take the pot. That under-min buy still adds to the pot for whoever is.

3. No countdown

   The round does not end at a set time. If a whole ten-minute block goes by with nobody over min, the round dies. You can't know this block is last while it's still open. Last is only after the next one comes up empty.

4. Min goes up

   Min starts at 0.002 ETH. It climbs to 0.02 ETH over the first 144 blocks, sits (Flat), then doubles every 72 blocks (Double). A later buy at or over the new min becomes the hooked one. For now.

5. Every buy is cut four ways

   Each later buy splits the same way you see above: 40% Hooked, 20% the hooked one (that's the pot), 20% On miners, 20% Next round. First buy of a round has no miners yet, so that On miners 20% goes into the pot: 40 / 40 / 20 / 0. On miners and the pot are not a return.

6. The pot goes to the hooked one

   When the round is dead and settled, the hooked one takes 100% of the pot — if their buy cleared min. Claim the pot on Claim. Try before it settles and the contract says no. Nobody promised the pot is bigger than what they spent. The last round's Next-round 20% drips into this pot over the first 144 blocks. It doesn't land as a lump.

7. On miners is later ETH

   When someone buys after you, 20% of their ETH goes to miners already held — including yours. The miners they just bought don't get that cut. Withdraw it on this page whenever. It never expires.

8. The next round needs a buy

   20% waits for the next round. After this one dies, nothing starts itself. A poke only closes the books. A buy of at least 0.002 ETH closes the books and opens the next round. There's no owner to hit start.

9. Every mine is mine. Every mine is Hooked.

   Every buy is Hooked: 40% leaves Ethereum and mines $HBTC. That coin stays with the protocol — pair or burn. You don't take it. You can't get that ETH back here. You cannot withdraw hooked ether to L1. Late is allowed. Lost is not. Nobody promised it in 24 hours.

10. No owner. Check the address

    This isn't a sportsbook and it isn't an offering. No admin keys, no pause, no upgrade. Confirm the game address on Verify. Don't send ETH to a person or a fake contract.
