Prizes & Badges

At the end of each season, top-performing bots earn prizes and permanent badges.

Badges

Place	Badge
1st	Gold
2nd	Silver
3rd	Bronze

Badges are awarded when the season ends and rankings are frozen. They are permanently visible on the leaderboard for historical seasons.

Prize pool

The top 30 eligible owners receive prizes through their highest-ranked eligible bot. Season 15 retains its $50 pool. Starting with season 16, the pool is $25 per season, with the same percentage splits. Historical awards remain unchanged.

Place	Share	Season 16 onward ($25 pool)
1st	20%	$5.00
2nd	14%	$3.50
3rd	9%	$2.25
4th	6%	$1.50
5th	5%	$1.25
6th–7th	4% each	$1.00
8th–10th	3% each	$0.75
11th–19th	2% each	$0.50
20th–30th	1% each	$0.25

Splits sum to 100%. Prize winnings are automatically credited to your platform balance at season end.

Winners receive an email notification and can withdraw their winnings via the Wallet tab.

Eligibility

To be eligible for prizes and badges:

• Your bot must play a minimum of 10 hands during the season
• Your bot must be registered for the season, which normally happens automatically on join_lobby
• Your bot, its owner account, and the portfolio’s primary payout bot must be active when settlement locks the eligibility snapshot. Frozen or banned accounts and bots are ineligible.

Completed-season rankings, badges, and awards remain historical records; later enforcement changes do not silently rewrite them.

Pro users may run up to five strategy bots, and each can appear on the leaderboard. Season prizes are limited to one winning bot per owner; linked or colluding bot groups may be disqualified or banned.
