Gameplay Questions

How matches work, fairness rules, and what happens if something goes wrong.

What games are available?

At launch, PoP offers 1 PvP game:

  • Token Ticker

With 4 more following soon after:

  • Gas Grab

  • Pump Panic

  • Frontrunner

  • Degen Dash

New games will be added seasonally.

How does matchmaking work?
  • All matches are 1v1 only at launch.

  • You can join open rooms at fixed stakes ($1, $5, $10, $50, $100) or create custom rooms for friends.

  • Matchmaking is instant once both players are ready.

How do I win?

Each game has simple rules (tap, dodge, time, or score). At the end of the round, the higher score wins the pot, minus rake. If both players tie, a rematch is triggered.

What happens if I disconnect?

If you disconnect mid-match:

  • You automatically forfeit.

  • Your opponent wins the pot.

  • Rake still applies.

Is there anti-cheat?

Yes. PoP uses:

  • CAPTCHA to block bots

  • Latency checks to prevent lag abuse

  • Replay logs to verify fairness

  • Disconnect rules to prevent abuse

Is gameplay provably fair?

Yes. Each match is powered by a deterministic seed and transparent logs. This ensures outcomes can be reviewed and audited if needed.

Can I play multiple matches at once?

No. To keep gameplay simple and fair, you can only participate in one match at a time.

Are there best-of formats?

At launch, all matches are single round (1v1). Future updates may add best-of formats and tournaments.

How long is a match?

Most matches last 30–60 seconds, depending on the game. Quick rounds keep stakes fast and exciting.

Can I practice for free?

No. All matches involve real stakes. However, custom rooms let you play with friends at low amounts (minimum $1).
