QUANTUMARCADE

WHAT THIS COSTS

Running this takes electricity, a machine, and a Lightning node with money parked in it. Two small deductions cover that. Both are listed here, both appear as their own line in your transaction history, and both are computed by the same code that generated this page.

The two deductions

1. A percentage of winnings

Taken only when you win. If you lose a round, nothing extra is taken — you simply lost the round. This is the house's actual revenue.

2. Rounding down to whole satoshis

Balances are tracked in millisatoshis — thousandths of a satoshi — because the maths needs that resolution. Payouts are floored to whole satoshis and the fraction stays with the house.

The most this can ever cost you on a single payout is . It is a rounding, not a second fee, and it is bounded by that amount every time.

What that does to your odds

A rake changes the real return, so quoting the game's raw figure would be misleading. Both numbers are below: what the game's maths return before the deduction, and what you actually receive after it.

How you can check all of this

What is not taken

The aim is for this to feel free, which means being exact about the places it is not. If you find a number on this page that does not match what your history shows, that is a bug worth reporting, and the ledger will settle the argument.
