Betting on versus games

You can bet X on versus games. How betting works depends on the game.

Othello, Chess, and Shogi

• The two players don't bet themselves.
• Spectators can bet on the player they think will win, up to move 10.
• The people who bet on the winner split the pot. 5% goes to the Treasury.
• Bets are returned if the game is a draw, or if only one side has bets.

One Card and Mahjong

• Only the players themselves bet. There are no spectator bets.
• The host decides the bet per player (0 means no betting) and how the pot is split.
  • Winner takes all: the top-placed human player gets everyone's bets.
  • Split by points: in One Card, each loser pays the 1st-place player according to the points in their hand (100 points means the whole bet). In Mahjong, X is split by the point differences between human players (25,000 points equals one bet).
• Either way, you can't lose more than your bet. The Treasury takes 5% of the winnings.
• Computers don't bet. If there is only one human player, the bets are returned.

Good to know

• Bets are also returned when an offered draw is accepted.
