Frequently asked questions
How the arcade, the money and the fairness guarantees actually work.
What is Domin8?
Domin8 is a crypto arcade: a single pixel-art cabinet holding several betting games, with one balance and one shared jackpot behind all of them. Right now that's Arena, a last-one-standing brawl against other players; Rabbit Royale, a mine-dodging game against the house; and Janken, best-of-three rock-paper-scissors for money. You can play any of them for free with no account, or log in and bet real SOL, ETH or FUEL.
Do I need a crypto wallet to play?
Not to start. Free play needs no account and no wallet at all — open the cabinet and play. To bet real money you need an account, which you can create with a Telegram login or just an email address and a one-time code; there is no wallet connection in that step. A wallet only comes into it when you want to fund the account, and even then you are simply sending crypto to a deposit address that Domin8 generates for you. If you happen to have Phantom or MetaMask installed the deposit screen can hand off to them to save you copying the address, but that is a convenience, not a requirement.
Which tokens can I bet with?
Three: SOL on Solana, ETH on Base, and FUEL on BNB Smart Chain. Each token is its own separate balance — depositing SOL does not give you ETH to bet with, and games match you against other players betting the same token. You pick which one you are playing in from the cabinet, and can switch between them whenever you are not mid-round.
What does 'provably fair' mean here?
It means the result of a round is fixed and published in a form you can check before you know what it is, so it cannot be changed afterwards to suit the house. How that works depends on who you are playing against. Rabbit Royale is house-banked, so its outcomes are not decided by the game at all — a separate RNG service rolls every step, and you are given the SHA-256 hash of its server seed up front along with your client seed and a per-bet nonce. When the seed pair rotates the server seed is revealed, and you can hash it, check it matches the commitment you were shown, and replay every roll it produced. That screen is in the game. Arena works the same way round by round: the hash of the round's seed is published when betting opens, and the seed is revealed once the round resolves, so you can recompute the winning ticket yourself. Janken commits both players' hands to the server before either is revealed, so neither of you can see the other's throw first.
Can I play without betting real money?
Yes, and it's the default. Free play starts you with a $1,000 balance that exists only in your browser — it is not real money, it is not connected to your account or to any blockchain, and you cannot withdraw it or convert it to anything. It also resets to $1,000 every time you reload the page, so there is no progress to lose and nothing to protect. It is there so you can see how a game plays before risking anything. Betting real money requires logging in.
How do deposits and withdrawals work?
You deposit by sending crypto to the address Domin8 generates for your account on the chain you're using, and the balance appears once the transaction confirms. Withdrawals have two rules worth knowing before you deposit. First, money has to be played before it can leave: anything you deposit must be wagered at least once before it can be withdrawn or tipped. This is a standard anti-money-laundering measure rather than a catch — betting it once at any stake satisfies it — but it does mean a deposit you never play cannot simply be sent straight back out. If you try, the game tells you how much you still have to wager. Bonus or promotional credit carries a heavier requirement, normally three times the amount. Second, withdrawals are capped: at most 2 SOL, 0.1 ETH or 25,000 FUEL in a single transaction, and 5 SOL, 0.25 ETH or 60,000 FUEL across any rolling 24-hour period.
What is THE VAULT?
THE VAULT is a single jackpot shared across every game in the arcade, funded by the house rather than by taking anything extra from your bets — it grows by 10% of what the house earns, wherever it was earned. It pays out once a season to one winner, and a season runs 14 days by default. The part that makes it unusual is who can win it. The draw is weighted by KEYS, which come from daily quests, not from how much you have wagered. Someone betting large sums every day earns no more chance at the VAULT than someone logging in, playing a round and winning one. It is deliberately not something you can buy your way into.
What are KEYS and points?
They are two separate things that are easy to mix up. KEYS are lottery tickets for the VAULT draw, and they come only from daily quests — logging in, placing your first bet, joining a game, winning a game. Each quest pays a set number of keys, and a login streak multiplies what they're worth: from day three you earn 1.5x, from day seven 2x, and from day fourteen onwards 3x. Keys reset with each season's draw. Points are experience, earned from wagering, and they drive your rank on the leaderboard. Every $1 you wager earns 1 point, whatever the token (conversion uses live prices, refreshed hourly), and winning the round doubles it. Losing still earns points; the stake is what counts. So points measure how much you play, and keys measure how regularly you show up. Only keys affect the jackpot.
Where is Domin8 available, and who can play?
Domin8 is for adults only — you must be at least 18, and the privacy policy sets that same bar. Beyond that, online gambling law varies enormously between countries and even between regions of the same country, and it is your responsibility to know whether betting real money on a site like this is legal where you live. If it is not, do not play. Being able to load the site is not permission — access is not the same thing as legality, and no part of Domin8 should be read as advice about your local rules. If you are unsure, check your own jurisdiction's regulator before depositing rather than after. And if you would rather not deal with any of that, free play needs no account, uses no real money, and is available to anyone.
