RULES

50 TAP buys one credit. One credit is one ranked play of one game.

Deposit whatever amount you like. You receive as many whole credits as it covers, and anything left over is recorded and added to your next deposit in the same month. Nothing is lost, but nothing is rounded up either.

Credits are not a token or a coin. They exist in your arcade account only. They cannot be sent to another player, sold, or withdrawn back into TAP.

Starting a game spends the credit. If you close the tab or lose connection part way through a run, that credit is still spent, the same way it would be in an arcade cabinet.

Every game can be played free, as much as you like, with no wallet connected. Free runs are practice: they are not ranked, do not enter the competition, and do not count toward anything.

When a practice run ends you are shown where that score would have placed on the live leaderboard, so you can see exactly how close you are before deciding to spend anything.

Each competition runs for one calendar month in UTC. Every verified TAP deposit made during the month counts toward that month’s prize pool.

When the month ends the leaderboards freeze, scores are validated, and winners are confirmed. Past competitions stay viewable and are never overwritten.

The top player on each game wins ten percent of the month’s qualifying TAP deposits.

The pool is calculated from the verified record of deposits, not from the balance of any wallet, so the figure can always be checked against what actually arrived.

Prizes are sent manually by the team after the month closes, and the transaction is published so you can verify it on Solana yourself.

Highest score wins. If two players finish on the same score, the one who reached it first ranks higher.

Only your best score on each game counts toward your rank. Playing again can improve your position but never worsens it.

Scores are verified on the server. The game does not simply report your score and have it accepted: the run is checked against what was actually possible, and impossible results are rejected.

Suspicious runs are reviewed by a person before a competition is finalised, rather than being thrown out automatically. A genuinely excellent run should never be penalised for being excellent.

Games award points. No game on this site awards TAP. Points decide your position on the leaderboard, and position is what wins a TAP prize at the end of the month.
