QUARTERSQUARTERS

TERMS OF PLAY

DRAFT · LAST UPDATED 2026-09-02 · BASED LTD
DRAFT FOR COUNSEL REVIEW. Plain-language terms for the soft launch. Not yet legal advice, not yet final.

1. WHAT THIS IS

QUARTERS is a skill-based arcade. You pay a fixed entry fee (a "quarter") to play a game, and prizes are paid from a pool of entry fees to the highest verified scores. Outcomes are determined entirely by your inputs against a random seed that is fixed and published before you play. There is no element of chance in the score.

2. WHO MAY PLAY

  1. You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live.
  2. You are responsible for confirming that paid skill contests are lawful in your jurisdiction. Where they are not, you may not play for prizes.
  3. You may not play from, or on behalf of anyone in, a jurisdiction subject to sanctions.

3. SOFT LAUNCH

QUARTERS is live on Robinhood Chain with real ETH. It is in soft launch: stakes are deliberately small, the machines on the floor may change, and the service may be paused or taken down at any time without notice. The contract's authority is currently held by a single operator key pending transfer to hardware custody. Play accordingly.

4. FEES AND PRIZES

  1. Each play costs the posted price for that cabinet. The price is split at the moment of play: 85% to that cabinet's prize pool and 15% to the house, which pays the verifier's gas out of its share. When cabinet deeds exist, part of the price may go to the cabinet's operator instead; the split in force is always readable on the contract.
  2. A played quarter is spent and is not refundable.
  3. A credit pack is a deposit held in escrow by the Quarters smart contract. You may close it at any time and receive the unspent balance.
  4. Prize pools pay out by on-chain settlement after each scoring period, to the wallets holding the top verified scores, according to the published payout table (1st 30%, 2nd 18%, 3rd 12%, ranks 4–10 share 40% equally; on a board with fewer than ten players the pool is split among the players present in those same proportions; rounding dust goes to the house). Settlement is permissionless and final.

5. VERIFICATION AND DISPUTES

  1. A score is valid only if the verifier can reproduce it exactly by replaying your recorded inputs against the committed seed.
  2. Every verified run is published as a receipt. The receipt is the sole evidence of a score, and a score that cannot be reproduced from its receipt is void.
  3. If you believe the verifier is wrong, re-run the receipt and write to us with the result. We will investigate in good faith.

6. FAIR PLAY

You may not use bots, scripts, input automation, tool-assisted play, replay injection, multiple wallets to manipulate a board, or any exploit of the client, verifier, or smart contract. Runs flagged for automation may be withheld from payout, and repeat abuse may result in a permanent block from the service.

7. WALLETS AND KEYS

You control your wallet and are responsible for it. A credit pack creates a session key stored only in your browser. Clearing your browser loses that key; your deposit remains recoverable by closing the pack from the same wallet.

8. TOKENS

Tokens that use the QUARTERS name are not issued or endorsed by QUARTERS unless announced by @quartersfun.

9. AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES

We may change games, prices, payout tables, and these terms. Changes take effect when posted. The service is provided as is, without warranty. We are not liable for network failures, wallet errors, or losses arising from your use of the service, to the extent permitted by law.
