Frequently Asked Questions

RUG OR RICHES is a viral press-your-luck crypto game built as a Telegram Mini App. Players tap to pump a simulated candlestick chart, attempting to lock in their gains before the chart inevitably rugs. For more gameplay info, see our Game Guide.

Yes. Playing is 100% free with no purchase required. You start with free in-game $MOON and can tap to earn more.

No wallet is needed to play. RUG OR RICHES runs inside Telegram and never asks for seed phrases, private keys, or recovery words.

No. The game uses a simulated entertainment loop. It is not real trading, not investment advice, and not a financial product.

Inside the game, $MOON refers to virtual in-game points/currency used to purchase upgrades, unlock VIP routes, and climb the ranks. It has no monetary value.

No. Currently, $MOON refers strictly to off-chain in-game points. Any future token launch is proposed, not guaranteed, and would require separate final terms and legal/regulatory review.

You can play directly inside Telegram by launching our official mini-app bot or clicking the Play button on our website.

Yes, RUG OR RICHES is built native to the Telegram platform as a Mini App, allowing it to load and play instantly without downloading external apps.

Set your simulated bet, tap to pump the chart, watch the heat meter climb, and click 'Bank' to lock in your gains before the chart rugs. It is a game of quick reflexes and nerve.

A 'rug' or 'rug pull' refers to the simulated market crash. If the chart rugs before you cash out, your unbanked position for that round is wiped out.

The heat meter shows the current risk level of the round. The higher the price goes, the hotter it gets, and the closer you are to a potential rug pull.

A soft rug is a partial crash where only a portion of your unbanked round pot is lost, allowing you to salvage the remaining amount.

A hard rug is a total crash. It wipes out 100% of your unbanked round gains, leaving you rekt for that round.

Clicking Bank cashes out your current round gains, transferring them permanently into your permanent, spendable in-game $MOON balance.

Sell Half cashes out 50% of your current round pot, securing partial gains while letting the other half continue to ride the chart.

Auto-sell is a feature where you set a target multiplier (e.g. 2.0x). If the chart pumps to this level, the game automatically banks your pot.

Stop-loss lets you define a safety floor multiplier. If the chart dips below this level, the game automatically banks your pot to preserve points.

Active taps consume energy. Your energy tank slowly regenerates over time, and you can increase its capacity and speed via permanent upgrades.

Ranks represent your lifetime banked in-game $MOON. Ranks climb from Shrimp up to Megalodon, unlocking higher bet ceilings and energy perks. Check the full chart on the Guide page.

VIP tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) offer in-game benefits like earnings multipliers, bet cap boosts, and rug shields. They represent in-game upgrades only.

No. All upgrades and features can be unlocked over time using in-game $MOON earned from playing. Paid items are optional convenience tools.

Daily spins are a free login reward giving you a chance to spin the wheel daily for in-game $MOON, energy refills, lucky draw tickets, and mystery boxes.

Streaks reward consecutive daily logins. The longer your streak, the higher your daily claim multiplier. Missing a day resets the streak.

Mystery boxes contain randomized in-game loot, ranging from basic energy refills to rare cosmetic skins. Odds are fully published in the app.

The lucky draw is a daily promotional jackpot. Tickets are collected during active gameplay, and a random drawing awards in-game $MOON pots.

No. Making a purchase does not increase your ticket count, improve your odds in any draw, or guarantee any prize. Ticket collection is purely gameplay-based.

No. All in-game prizes, boxes, streaks, and spin rewards are strictly virtual entertainment items with no cash value.

Yes. We reserve the right to tune, balance, or adjust in-game reward values, multipliers, and items to keep the game economy fair and functional.

Yes. We believe in transparency, so the odds for mystery boxes and the daily spin wheel are fully published in-game.

Season Points (referred to as Airdrop Points in some app builds) track your gameplay activity, quest progress, and achievements across the current season.

No. Season Points are in-game points only and have no value or guaranteed conversion to on-chain tokens.

No. Season Points are in-game tracking points. They do not guarantee tokens, cash value, allocation, or any future reward. If a future distribution is approved, final eligibility and terms may consider gameplay history, anti-cheat review, jurisdiction, and legal/platform requirements.

No. A future token is not guaranteed. Any potential token event is hypothetical, proposed, and subject to final regulatory and legal clearances.

No. Paid items may improve the in-game experience, cosmetics, energy, or convenience, but they do not guarantee token eligibility, token allocation, prize odds, rewards, or monetary value.

If a future token distribution is approved, eligibility will be audited based on genuine gameplay logs, compliance with local laws, and verification by our anti-cheat systems.

Yes. Any use of bots, auto-clickers, multi-accounting, API tampering, or exploit abuse will void all in-game points and cancel any potential distribution eligibility.

Yes. Due to varying international regulations, residents of certain countries or jurisdictions may be ineligible to claim any future token distributions.

Yes. The parameters, snapshot schedules, and allocations of the proposed airdrop are subject to change, revision, or cancellation at any time. For more information, visit the Airdrop page.

The proposed model establishes a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) tokens. No new tokens can ever be minted once deployed.

No. The proposed token distribution includes 0% for private investors or venture capital, prioritizing public players and community growth. For details, see the Tokenomics page.

Fixed supply means that the total number of tokens is permanently capped at launch, protecting the ecosystem from supply inflation.

It is a system that separates unlimited in-game points (for bet limits, upgrades) from the capped, proposed on-chain token. This prevents gameplay loop inflation from diluting token scarcity.

Sinks are mechanisms that consume or lock up tokens (such as entry fees for competitive matches, cosmetic skins marketplace, and staking).

A proposed framework where a portion of game revenue could be used to purchase tokens from the market and permanently burn them to support ecosystem sustainability.

No. Nothing in our game, website, guide, litepaper, or tokenomics documentation is financial or investment advice. Read the full Litepaper for complete disclosures.

Yes. Every tap, bet, cash-out, and reward claim is computed and saved directly on our secure backend database, preventing client-side hacking.

Our servers enforce strict verification limits (e.g. max tap frequency, bet caps, request verification). Suspicious or automated accounts are flagged and excluded.

Provably fair is a cryptographic protocol that lets players verify that each round's rug crash multiplier was pre-determined and not altered during play.

Yes — the Daily Crash pick uses provably-fair commit-reveal today: the day's seed hash is published before any picks are made, and the raw seed is revealed the next day so anyone can verify the crash point. Note that the main tapper rounds are a fast client-side simulation (for feel and pacing), not a provably-fair market — the commit-reveal fairness applies to the Daily Crash.

No. RUG OR RICHES will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, passwords, or recovery words. If anyone does, block and report them immediately.

We collect basic Telegram profile info (user ID, username), game state data, and Telegram Stars payment references for verification. Read our Privacy Policy.

Telegram Stars are digital tokens introduced by Telegram to purchase virtual goods and services inside mini-apps and bots.

You can optionally spend Stars to purchase VIP tiers, energy refills, speed boosts, cosmetic button skins, or unlock a Season Pass.

No. Purchases are strictly optional. The entire game loop, ranks, upgrades, and normal progression are fully accessible to free players.

Generally no. All Stars transactions are processed by Telegram and are final. Refund policies are governed by Telegram's Terms of Service.

For Telegram Stars purchase issues, use the official bot support flow or community support channel. The team should support Telegram’s /paysupport flow for Stars-related payment issues. Refunds and support requests may require Telegram payment charge details.

No. Stars purchases are purely for virtual in-game entertainment items and do not guarantee or convey any real-world value or future token allocation.

Crews are in-game clubs where players band together, chat, and accumulate their scores onto a joint crew leaderboard.

Real. Crew Wars are an all-crews weekly league: every crew is ranked by the war points its members earn, and the top-ranked crews claim the biggest chests — there is no simulated rival. If any feature ever uses a placeholder for pacing, the site labels it clearly and never presents sample or simulated activity as real live user data.

You share a unique invitation link with friends. When they launch and play, you both receive bonus in-game $MOON.

Yes. If you share RUG OR RICHES because you may receive in-game rewards, disclose that connection clearly (e.g., '#ad' or '#sponsored').
