Game Mechanics

Understanding the rules is key to survival and profit in StealGame.

The Pot

The Pot starts at 0 and grows as players deposit.

Actions

1. Deposit

  • Cost: 0.00003 ETH (You can Deposit Multiple Times Each Round!).
  • Effect:
    • Adds to the Pot.
    • Increases your Win Chance (weighted by total deposited amount).
    • Resets the "Last Deposit" timer.

2. Steal

  • Requirement: You must be selected as the Stealer.
  • Steal Window: You have 3 minutes to act once selected.
  • Reward: You get a percentage of the pot (8%, 4%, or 2% depending on pot size).
  • Fee: A ~5% fee is deducted from your stolen amount.
  • Risk: If you fail to steal in time, or someone else steals first, you miss out.

Rounds

The game is divided into rounds (~7 minutes each).

  • Deposit Phase: Players deposit to build the pot.
  • Steal Phase: A stealer is randomly selected based on their deposit weight.
  • Cooldown: After a steal attempt or window expiry, a new round begins.

Points System

Every action you take earns you Points, which are tracked on the Leaderboard.

  • Depositing: Earn points for every ETH deposited.
  • Stealing: Successful steals award bonus points.
  • Airdrop: Your total points determine your share of the $STEAL Airdrop at the end of Season 1.
