PariMate Game Rules

1. User Accounts

• Users must be 18+ to create an account and participate in betting.
• Users can create a profile with a username and avatar (optional).

2. Events

• PariMate currently offers upcoming football matches as events.

3. Creating a Game (Game Captain)

• Any user can become a game captain by creating a game.
• To create a game, the user predicts upcoming matches from the current 10 match fixtures active on PariMate for the week.
• The user that creates the game becomes the game captain and sets the stake amount (minimum stake amount can be enforced by PariMate).

4. Joining a Game

• Users can browse a list of publicly available games created by other users or join a private game by invitation.
• Each game to be joined displays details like the total pot amount, stake amount, the number of users who have already joined, and match fixtures to predict.
• Users can choose to join a game by staking an amount equal to the game captain's stake.

5. Making Predictions

• Once a user joins a game, they predict the final score of the match by entering a specific scoreline (e.g., Home Team 2 - Away Team 1).

6. Point System

• PariMate uses a point system to reward users for accurate predictions.

• • Exact Score Match: Predicting the exact final score awards the highest number of points (20 points).
• • Winner Prediction: Predicting the correct winner (home team, away team, or draw) awards a moderate number of points (12 points).
• • Win Margin Prediction: Predicting the correct winner and the margin of victory within a certain range (e.g., within 1 goal) awards a lower number of points (4 points) compared to an exact win margin prediction (potentially offering bonus points in the future).
• NOTE: Win margin points only apply when the correct winner is predicted. Does not apply to a draw or a loss

• If a game is abandoned, its becomes null and void and no points allocated
• Users can see a breakdown of how points are awarded for different prediction outcomes.

Example:
Consider a game where the actual score is Home Team 3 - Away Team 1. Here are some potential scenarios:

• • User A: Predicts Home Team 3 - Away Team 1 (exact score match) - Earns 20 points.
• • User B: Predicts Away Team win (incorrect winner) - Earns 0 points.
• • User C: Predicts Home Team win and within 2 goal margin (correct winner and win margin) - Earns 12 points + 4 points = 16 points.
• • User D: Predicts Draw (incorrect winner) - Earns 0 points.

In this example, User A would be the winner with 20 points.

7. Bet Settlement

• The outcome of the bet is determined based on the official results of the match.
• PariMate uses reliable data sources to verify results.
• In case of disputes (e.g., score discrepancies, postponements), PariMate may have a designated team to review and make a final decision.

8. Winning & Payouts

• The user with the most points at the end of the game wins the entire stake pool (all users' stakes combined), minus the PariMate commission fee of 10%.
• In case of a tie in points, the stake pool is split proportionally among the tied users.
• Winnings are automatically credited to the user's PariMate wallet and can be withdrawn using available methods.
