OpenFront with money: OpenFront with real money
In OpenFront the money in a match is in-game money: it buys buildings and units and is gone when the match ends. CashWars is OpenFront with real money. Every player pays a buy-in in SOL, the buy-ins form the pot, and the player who conquers the map takes it home.
What a pot is worth
The pot is the sum of all buy-ins. The winner receives it minus a 2% win fee. Three examples:
| Buy-in | Players | Pot | Winner receives |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | 4 | $4 | $3.92 |
| $5 | 10 | $50 | $49 |
| $25 | 8 | $200 | $196 |
Buy-ins are $1, $2, $5, $10 or $25 in Solo and Teams, paid in SOL at the live rate. A Golden Round adds a bonus to the pot.
You see the money on the map
- Every part of the map shows a live dollar value: the pot times its share of the whole map.
- Next to every player you see what their land is worth right now.
- Hold 95% of the map for 15 seconds and the whole pot is yours.
How the money moves
- You deposit SOL to your own CashWars deposit address. Deposits are free.
- Joining a lobby reserves your buy-in; when the match starts, it goes to the escrow wallet.
- The winner's payout is sent to their balance as its own transaction on the Solana blockchain.
- You withdraw your balance to any Solana address, at any time. The withdraw fee is shown before you confirm.
OpenFront with money: questions and answers
Can you play OpenFront with money?
Yes, in CashWars: an OpenFront-style territory war in which every match is played for real money. Each player pays a buy-in in SOL, and the winner takes the pot.
Is the money in CashWars real?
Yes. Buy-ins, pots and payouts are in SOL on the Solana blockchain, and every payout and withdrawal is a public transaction. The money in OpenFront itself is in-game money with no cash value.
How much money is in an OpenFront-style match on CashWars?
The pot is the buy-in times the number of players, plus the bonus of a Golden Round. For example, 10 players with a $5 buy-in make a $50 pot, and the winner receives $49.
Where does the money in the pot come from?
From the players in the match. Every player pays the same buy-in when the match starts; there is no outside prize pool except the bonus of a Golden Round.
Can you really win money?
You can win money and you can lose your stake. A match is a contest between players: the winner takes the pot, everyone else loses what they put in. You must be at least 18, and playing for money must be legal where you live.
