Platform rules

There is no starting balance. Your account is empty at sign-up: you play with money you deposit, or with a promo code.

Your balance has two parts. They are identical when you bet, but different when you withdraw: what you deposited and won on it can be withdrawn; what the platform gave you (promo codes) can only be played until you have staked and wagered it (rules below). Referral earnings are withdrawable as long as you have no promo code still to wager.

PROMO CODE WAGERING. Redeem a promo code worth X and you must stake at least X in total before winnings count as withdrawable. Until then every payout goes entirely into the non-withdrawable part. One tournament is enough if the stake covers the whole promo amount: wagering counts the stake that actually reached settlement, so raising a bet and lowering it before betting closes does not help.

Once wagered, the restriction is lifted. A payout on a stake made with gifted money is withdrawable in full (both the stake and the winnings). A gift you did not stake stays a bonus: it can only be played, not withdrawn directly. A payout on a stake made with your deposited money is withdrawable in full with no conditions. Whether your winnings are withdrawable does not depend on what money other players staked.

Deposits and withdrawals are cryptocurrency only, in USDT. You can deposit and withdraw on four networks: TRON (TRC20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), Solana, and TON. On BEP-20, Solana, and TON the minimum is 5 USDT and the platform pays the network fee on withdrawals. On TRC-20 the minimum for deposits and withdrawals is 100 USDT, and 4.50 USDT is deducted from a withdrawal: it pays the TRON network fee (gas), which the player bears. The sender also pays the network fee on deposits. No other method is accepted. A transfer sent on a network other than the one you chose is lost with no way to recover it.

A deposit is credited automatically once the transfer gets enough network confirmations: usually a few minutes, occasionally longer if the network is busy.

A withdrawal has two steps, not one click. The money leaves your balance the moment you submit the request: that is a reservation, so the same money cannot be staked again while the request is pending. It only leaves the platform after the platform's administration approves the request.

Double-check the wallet address before submitting a request. A blockchain transfer cannot be reversed, and a wrong address means the money is lost with no way to get it back.

Predictions are accepted not on every team in the tournament, but only on the ones entered, typically the CIS teams.

Your job is to say which place in the final standings, once all games are done, each of the tournament's teams will take.

Two teams cannot be assigned the same place. A prediction is accepted only as a whole: every team in the pool needs a place.

Until betting closes, nobody's picks are known to anyone: not on the site, not in server responses, including your own to other players. If you'd also like to hide the fact that you're playing at all (your name and stake), turn on anonymous mode in settings: it hides them from other players while betting is open.

Each team earns points based on how far off you were. Zero difference scores the maximum; the further off, the less you get.

Past a certain gap no points are awarded at all. The table in force:

A separate bonus is awarded for any three teams whose place in the overall standings you guess exactly right (zero deviation). It does not matter which teams or where they finish: only the count of exact hits matters.

The bonus is paid only for all three at once: this is a platform rule, not a per-tournament setting, and it does not change from one tournament to the next. Two exact hits out of three earns nothing.

If fewer than three teams remain in the pool, say after withdrawals, the “trio” becomes however many teams are actually there. Otherwise the bonus would be unreachable even for a flawless prediction.

Players are compared on total points. On a tie, these tiebreakers apply in exactly this order:

RakuBet is not a bookmaker and does not set odds in advance. Every stake goes into one pool, the platform keeps its margin, and the rest is distributed across players by the final table.

Your multiplier depends on where you finish, not on what specifically you guessed. The top of the table gets back more than it staked, the bottom less.

Settings in force for this tournament:

Your place on the payout scale is set by the share of MONEY you finished ahead of, not the share of players.

Stakes have a floor and a ceiling. The ceiling grows with the pool: while the pool is small, a large stake would be playing against its own money and would distort everyone else's distribution.

The limit is recalculated on every bet and shown on the tournament page.

You can change your bet while betting is open: the amount, the order of teams. The difference is charged or refunded immediately. The part already filled through a queued order cannot be reduced.

To stake more than the current limit, place an order: you name the amount you want and the money is reserved on your balance.

The order fills itself in slices as the pool grows, exactly as much as the limit in force allows.

Whatever is left unfilled returns to your balance when betting closes. You can cancel the order any time before that and the remainder comes back at once.

A tournament needs at least two different participants. If only one bet remains by the time betting closes, the tournament is not run, and the money is refunded in full, with no margin taken.

There is no minimum pool: a tournament with a small pool is settled exactly like any other. How large the win can be at the current pool is shown on the tournament page before you bet: the maximum multiplier shown there is computed from the real pool.

A disqualified team, or one absent from the games, is excluded from scoring: no one earns points for it. Predictions on the remaining teams stand.

The team list is frozen the moment the first bet appears. After that the roster of the tournament does not change.

Results are entered from the official tournament table and confirmed by hand in two steps: entry first, then a separate confirmation of the settlement.

The interim table refreshes after every game and shows what the outcome would be if the tournament ended now. It is an estimate, not a result.

A settled tournament is never recalculated or cancelled.

You earn a share of every stake made by a player you brought in.

The credit arrives after the tournament is settled, as one notification per tournament. It is withdrawable as long as you have no promo code still to wager. If a tournament is cancelled or a bet is refunded, nothing is credited.

Only increases count. If a player edits their stake up and down, nothing is credited twice for the same money.

You cannot refer yourself. Accounts created to farm referral credits are blocked along with the credits.

The paid subscription opens up analysis of your own play: accuracy per team with current rosters, a map of your errors by placement range, how your standing moved across the season, and how far your predictions sit from the crowd's average.

Buying while a subscription is active extends it from the expiry date rather than starting over.

By design it contains nothing that gives an edge in a running tournament. Access to other players' live predictions will never be part of it.

Nickname colours, frames, badges and titles change only how you look on the board and in your profile. They have no effect on points, multipliers or limits.

Two-factor protection (a code from an authenticator app) is turned on in profile settings. Turn it on first if you plan to withdraw money: even someone who learns your password cannot get into your account without the code from your app.

Anonymous mode hides your nickname and stake from other players while betting is open. Once betting closes, predictions open up the same way for everyone regardless of the mode. You can turn it on or off in profile settings at any time.

If an error in settlement or a breach is suspected, the platform may temporarily pause money operations (site-wide or on one specific account) while it investigates. Betting and play continue as normal; only money moving out is paused. This is a protective measure. It is lifted as soon as the cause is found.

Breaking any of these gets the account blocked, with a stated reason and for a length of time the platform decides, from one day to a permanent ban.

Every movement of money is written to a transaction log, so any player's balance can always be checked and reconstructed to the cent. Settlement errors are rare and, as a rule, only happen at the one manual step: entering tournament results; if you spot one, contact support and name the tournament.

These rules may change, while the terms of an already-open tournament do not: its settings are frozen when it is created.
