INSERTCOIN
Rules

Official rules and terms

1. No purchase, no deposit, no wager

INSERT COIN is free to play. COINS are issued at no cost, cannot be purchased, sold, transferred, or exchanged for anything, and have no cash value. You never stake money or anything of value on an outcome. Because no consideration is required to enter or to win, this is a free prize promotion. It is not gambling, and it is not a financial product.

COINS are not the $COIN token. $COIN is a pump.fun token that trades on the open market, and its creator fees help fund the prize pot. COINS are the play money on this site and are not a cryptocurrency.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher. One account per person. Accounts created to farm prizes are disqualified and their prizes forfeited. That covers multiple handles controlled by one person, automated play designed solely to game the leaderboard, and referral rings. Employees of the operator and their immediate households are not eligible for prizes.

The promotion is void where prohibited by local law. It is your responsibility to know whether you may take part where you live.

3. How to enter

Create a handle and play any game on the floor. The COINS you gain during a round decide that round's ranking. No purchase increases your chance of winning, because no purchase is possible.

4. How winners are decided

Gain the most COINS in a round and you take the biggest share of that round's prize pot. Second place takes the next share, and so on down the paying places. A round is 15 minutes long and runs on the clock in UTC.

Your score is what you gained from play in the round: what you won, minus what you staked. COINS from signup grants, round claims, daily bonuses, referrals, tips, chat rain, mining rigs and previous prizes do not count toward it.

Your score cap. Only the first 25,000 COINS you stake in a round count toward your score, and they count in the order you stake them. Stake past that and it plays and pays you in full. It stops moving your score.

The cap can be raised in the shop, one rung at a time, up to 75,000 COINS. A raised cap counts more of the play you already do. It buys no edge in any game.

Your win streak does not decide this board. It is not part of your score.

The closing stretch. COINS you gain in the last 3 minutes of a round count for 1.5x, so a round is never decided early.

The top ten share the round's prize pot like this:

1st 40% · 2nd 18% · 3rd 12% · 4th 8% · 5th 6% · 6th 5% · 7th 4% · 8th 3% · 9th 2.5% · 10th 1.5%

If two players finish level on score, the bigger total COINS gain over the whole round ranks first. If nobody gains COINS in a round, that round's funding rolls into the next one.

5. Prizes

The prize pot is funded by two things: the creator fees earned by $COIN, the project's token, and a fixed contribution paid in by the operator so the pot is not empty while fee income is small. That contribution is 0.1 SOL per round.

Creator fees are split three ways. 50% buys $COIN back, 40% funds the prize pot, and 10% covers the operator's running costs. The live percentages and the amounts to date are published on the transparency page. No part of anything a player stakes is ever taken as a fee.

Prizes are paid in SOL to the Solana address you link to your account. Prize value varies with fee income and may be zero in a round with no income. Two limits apply: 0.05 SOL to any one winner in a round, and 0.15 SOL across the round as a whole. Amounts below the minimum payout threshold roll forward rather than being paid.

6. Claiming

You must have a valid Solana address linked at the moment a round closes to be paid for that round. Finish in a paying place without one and the prize is not paid, and it is not held for you. Link an address before you play.

We only ever ask for a public address. We will never ask for a seed phrase, private key, or signature to pay you, and you should treat anyone who does as an attacker, including anyone claiming to represent us.

A wrong or incompatible address means an unrecoverable payment. Check it. Network fees are paid by the operator.

7. Taxes

Any tax arising from a prize is yours to declare and pay. We do not withhold.

8. Fairness and integrity

Every game commits to its result before you play. We show you the hash of our seed first, you set your own seed, and the outcome comes from the two together. Rotate your seed and we hand back the old one, so you can hash it, check it against what we showed you, and replay every result you were paid on.

Every game publishes how much of everything staked on it comes back to players, and its prize table is built to hit that figure rather than to sit near it.

Some games run on the price of a real pump.fun coin. Those settle on an average price sampled over the window from public market data, never on a single instant quote. A round that cannot be priced reliably is voided and every stake is returned in full.

Attempting to manipulate a result, or exploiting a defect rather than reporting it, forfeits all prizes and ends your eligibility.

9. House accounts

Some accounts on this site are operated by us, not by people. They place bets, play the games, run mining operations, talk in chat and appear in the live feed and on the leaderboards. They exist so that a new or quiet market is not empty. Their play is real: the same odds, the same paytables, the same published house edge as anybody else, settled through the same ledger. In one on one games a house account can also be your opponent: it posts duels and it accepts them, so that an empty board is never the reason you cannot play. When it is, both sides are drawn from the same committed seed and neither side is shown the result before the other.

They are not marked one by one in the interface. A house account reads as any other row in the feed, the chat or a board, and there is no badge on it. This section is the disclosure, and it is in the terms so that it says the same thing on every screen and cannot be missed by scrolling past a small tag.

Here is what a house account cannot do. It cannot hold a record, enter the hall of fame, or produce a share card. It cannot take a cut when someone makes it rain in chat, and it cannot receive a tip. It cannot be the named player in anything this site uses to advertise itself, including invite cards and the recent big win shown to new visitors. A house account is never given a better price, earlier information, or a larger share of any pool than a player in the same position would receive. Its mining operation buys the same rigs at the same prices under the same prestige rules as yours, with a head start so the board is not empty on day one.

Because they play the games, a house account can finish in the paying top ten. When that happens the SOL for that position is returned to the operator rather than paid out. No player's prize is reduced or withheld to fund this. The pot is money the operator puts in, a fixed contribution plus a share of the token's creator fees, and never money taken from players, who deposit nothing.

10. Changes, suspension, and errors

We may change these rules, the prize shares, the caps, or the games on offer at any time, and may suspend or end the promotion. Changes are not retroactive: a round already closed pays under the rules in force when it closed.

Where a bug, data error, or upstream outage produces an incorrect result, we may void the affected rounds and return stakes. We are not liable beyond the value of the affected prize.

11. Data

We store your handle, your linked address, your play history, and your prize history. We do not collect email addresses or real names. Prize records are kept as long as needed for accounting. Ask and we will delete your account; prize records already paid are retained.

12. Not financial advice

Nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation about any token. Price data comes from third parties as it is, and may be delayed, incomplete, or wrong. The pump.fun coins that appear in the games are not affiliated with or endorsed by this promotion.

13. Operator

Add your legal entity name, registered address, and a contact email before launch. A prize promotion needs an identifiable promoter, and this is the one section that cannot be left as boilerplate.
