Rules & mechanics

Bet SOL on the country you think will have the hottest viral fan / honey shot at the FIFA World Cup 2026. Two markets:

• Baddie of the Day — one market per matchday, sides are the countries playing that day. Settles at the end of the matchday.
• Miss World Cup — single market with all 48 countries. Settles at the end of the tournament.

The outcome is reflexive: it's about which country's pool ends up biggest, not about sporting results.

At the lock time the pools freeze, and the backend computes the winner: the side with the biggest pool wins — argmax(side_totals). If two or more sides are exactly tied for the max, the lowest-numbered side wins — a tie never voids a market. The team reviews the computed settlement and then releases payouts.

Winners get their stake back plus a pro-rata share of the losing pool, minus a 10% rake on the losing pool only.Your principal is never taxed if you win — only losing-side stakes contribute to the rake. Payouts are pushed to winners' wallets by the team after settlement review — there is no claim step and nothing to sign to get paid.

• Only one side has bets at lock — no counterparty, so every stake is refunded in full (no rake, no jackpot contribution).
• Zero bets — the market closes with no winner and nothing to pay.
• Voided markets — if a market has to be voided (e.g. a matchday is cancelled), every stake is refunded in full.

Ties are not a refund condition — a tie goes to the lowest-numbered side.

Every 1 SOL bet anywhere earns 1 jackpot ticket (weighted by the exact lamports you bet). 5% of every losing pool flows into a single jackpot vault. A single winner is drawn after the WC final — the exact draw procedure is published before the draw. See the jackpot page for live odds.

Bets are SOL transfers to the WCB pool wallet, which is operated by the team: the pool wallet custodies stakes between lock and payout. Settlement is computed by the backend and payouts are pushed from the pool wallet — so you are trusting the team to hold funds and pay out honestly. What keeps it checkable: every bet and payout is a public on-chain SOL transfer you can verify on any Solana explorer. The website never asks for your keys; the only thing you ever sign is your own bet transfer.
