How Matches Work

Every match is 1v1. You pick a game, set your stake, and face another player. The winner takes the pot minus rake.

Custom Rooms:

Rake & Payouts

Every match has a 10% rake on the total pot. The rest goes to the winner. Rake splits into:

  • 40% → $POP buyback + future burns

  • 60% → Treasury

Example:

  • Player A and B wager $10 each. Pot = $20.

  • Rake = $2. Winner payout = $18.


Fairness & Anti-Cheat

Games run on dedicated seeds and logs. That means match outcomes are transparent and reviewable.

  • CAPTCHA prevents bots.

  • Latency checks keep inputs fair.

  • Logs allow disputes to be reviewed.

PoP never plays against you. Every opponent is another player.


Disconnects & Forfeits

If you disconnect mid-match, it counts as a loss. Matches are fast (20–60 seconds), so always play on a stable connection.

Q: What if my opponent disconnects?

A: You win the match automatically.

Q: Can I pause a match?

A: No. Matches run until they finish.
