§ RESPONSIBLE PLAY
Responsible play
This is a negative-expectation game. In the long run, you will lose about 5% of what you bet.
How much it will cost you
Expected loss per shot = bet × 5% + gas. At 1 shot per second with a 0.1 APT bet, you fire about 3,600 shots an hour and can expect to lose around 18 APT, plus gas. In the short run some players come out ahead (in simulations, about 23.9% of players are winning after an hour), but the longer you play, the closer your result gets to the expectation.
Set limits for yourself
- The budget you start a session with is the most you can lose in that session: stop when it's gone, no automatic top-up
- A bot authorization's allowance and floor add another limit: once the balance falls below the floor, it can no longer bet from the balance
- Set a time: when it's up, end the session and revoke the authorization
- Don't chase losses: shooting big fish or raising the bet won't improve the expectation
When to stop
- You've used money you didn't intend to use
- You keep playing to win back what you lost
- It's affecting your work, studies, sleep or family
If you feel you can't control it, stop playing and seek help (support resources to be added by region). Minors may not participate; this type of game may be prohibited where you live.
