Ranked Games in Balance Bet are competitive matches that let you test your skills, climb the ranks, and prove yourself against others. These games are designed for those seeking a challenge, with your performance directly influencing your ranking within the game.
Key Features
Automatic Game Creation: Ranked games are created automatically once enough players have joined the queue. Each game session requires 5 - 10 players. From the Ranked page you register for a ranked game of your choosing, based on the leagues and matches included. Immediately after registration, you will join the queue for that particular game. While in the queue, you can place bets and follow the available wagers. Once the queue fills up, the game will start and all of your preplaced bets will transfer to the game. Since this process may take time, joining a ranked game is more like a registration than an immediate entry.
Standard Initial Balance: All participants start with an initial balance of 50,000 coins. This equal footing ensures fairness and encourages strategic play.
Ranking Impact: Your performance in ranked games affects your rank. Consistently winning and achieving specific milestones can help you climb the ranks while underperforming may lead to rank point deductions.
Gameplay
Joining a Ranked Game: You can queue up for as many ranked games as you see available. If you’re extra competitive, we recommend to join them all, as it is the only way to rank up quickly.
Betting: You'll receive a starting balance of 50,000 coins to place bets on real-world sports events. Only matches within the game’s start and end dates are available for betting.
Total Bet Requirement: As with regular games, you must place total bets equal to or exceeding your initial balance by the end of the game to avoid disqualification. For ranked games, this means placing at least 50,000 coins in total bets.
Minimum Bet Amount: Each individual bet must be at least 1,000 coins, unless your balance is below this amount, in which case you can only go all-in.
Ranks
Your performance in ranked games determines your position in Balance Bet's ranking system. The ranks are:
Rookie (with sub-ranks Rookie III to Rookie I)
Varsity (Varsity III to Varsity I)
Pro (Pro III to Pro I)
All-Star (All-Star III to All-Star I)
Champion (Champion III to Champion I)
MVP (MVP III to MVP I)
Hall of Fame (the highest and ultimate rank)
Each rank, except for Hall of Fame, has three sub-ranks (III, II, I). You advance through these ranks by earning rank points based on your performance in ranked games. The system rewards consistent performance, strategic play, and achieving specific in-game goals.
You’ll progress through the ranks by earning enough rank points to move from one sub-rank to the next. Once you reach I in your current rank (e.g., Rookie I), earning additional rank points will promote you to the next main rank (e.g., advancing from Rookie I to Varsity III).
Rank Promotion: Success and strategic play will lead to promotions. You can track your current rank points in your profile and see how close you are to advancing.
Rank Demotion: If you lose rank points and fall below a certain threshold, you may be demoted to a lower sub-rank or even a lower main rank. Maintaining consistent performance is crucial to staying at your current level.
Rank Stability Zone: After achieving any ranks you will get the benefit of the rank stability zone if your rank points are above 0. In this state you will not be automatically demoted if your lost more rank points than you have. Instead, your rank points will go down to zero, giving you one more chance to play a ranked game while maintaining your current rank.
