How to Play RUG OR RICHES — Tap, Bank, Win

About

RUG OR RICHES is a press-your-luck crypto game built as a Telegram Mini App. It turns the exact emotion of degen trading — the rush of a pump and the gut-punch of a rug pull — into a simulated game loop that anyone can play for free with no wallet and no signup.

Your guide is the $MOON shark who has survived a thousand rugs and banked through every one. Grind from Shrimp to Megalodon, bank in-game $MOON, form crews, and earn Season Points along the way.

Learn the loop in under a minute

Tap to pump the chart, watch the heat, and bank before the rug. The deeper you go, the bigger the run — and the closer you get to rekt.

1 · Tap to pump

Tap to stake your simulated bet and push the price up. The higher it goes, the larger your round pot.

2 · Watch the heat

The rug-risk meter rises as you ride. Market events swing the risk live; cash out before a crash wipes your pot.

3 · Bank before rug

Click Bank to lock in round gains. Clutch high-risk exits pay bonuses, while a hard rug wipes the round's unbanked pot.

4 · Rank up

Banked in-game $MOON determines your permanent rank, unlocking VIP routes, energy capacities, and bet caps.

Game Systems

🌡️ Heat meter

The heat meter displays the current round risk. The higher the price pumps, the hotter the meter gets, signaling a higher chance of a crash.

🎭 Soft rugs vs hard rugs

A hard rug pull wipes out your entire unbanked pot for the round. A soft rug pull is a partial crash that preserves a portion of your unbanked earnings.

💰 Bank

Cashing out transfers your current unbanked round gains into your permanent spendable in-game $MOON balance.

✂️ Sell Half

Banks 50% of your round pot to secure partial gains while letting the remaining 50% continue riding the chart.

🤖 Auto-sell

Allows you to set a pre-defined multiplier target. If the chart reaches this level, the game automatically banks your pot.

🛡️ Stop-loss

Sets a floor multiplier to automatically cash out if the chart dips below it, helping manage risk.

🔥 Combos

Consecutive profitable rounds build multiplier streaks that grant bonus payouts on subsequent cashouts.

🔋 Energy

Energy fuels your taps — the cost scales with your bet (small bets ~1, big plays cost more), so it rewards smart, well-timed runs over mindless spamming. Your tank steadily recharges on its own over a few hours, so there's always a fresh run waiting when you come back — great for quick daily sessions. Grow your tank with your rank and the Max Energy upgrade, speed up the recharge with the Energy Regen upgrade, and top up instantly anytime with a refill.

🎁 Daily rewards

Includes streaks, mystery boxes, spins, and lucky draws that grant random in-game assets.

⚔️ Async Duels

Ranks & VIP

Your permanent rank is determined by your lifetime banked in-game $MOON, which unlocks bet ceilings and stats:

Rank	Banked $MOON Required	Key Perks Unlocked
🦐 Shrimp	0+	Start your journey
🦀 Crab	500K+	+20 Max Energy, Bronze VIP tier access
🐟 Fish	7.5M+	+40 Max Energy, +10% Daily Streak Bonus, Silver VIP access
🐬 Dolphin	50M+	+65 Max Energy, +25% Daily Streak Bonus, Gold VIP access

🐋 Orca	600M+	+120 Max Energy, +75% Daily Streak Bonus, Whale ranking badge
🦖 Megalodon	1B+	+160 Max Energy, 2x Daily Streak Bonus, Apex Predator badge

VIP tiers stack on top of your rank and are earnable with in-game $MOON or unlockable with Stars:

VIP Tier	Main In-Game Perks	Bet Cap Multiplier
🥉 Bronze	+12% in-game earnings, +25 energy	1.5x Bet Cap
🥈 Silver	+30% in-game earnings, lower rug risk	2.0x Bet Cap
🥇 Gold	+60% in-game earnings, 25% auto-rescue	3.0x Bet Cap

Max bet = rank base bet × VIP multiplier. Banking pays out your real round multiplier, and higher VIP tiers also bank a larger bonus when you cash out at high heat.

Season Points

Your active gameplay, quest completions, and crew contributions accumulate Season Points (in-game tracking points).

Season Points are used exclusively to monitor leaderboard standings and game activity.
