Public bets are open for participation to all players on the platform. These bets are displayed randomly in the “Updates” section. In contrast, private bets are restricted to players who receive an invitation from the bet creator. Private bets are not displayed in the “Updates” section and are accessible exclusively via an invitation link.

Odds serve as an additional parameter to enable a more precise ranking. At Nionoki, odds are added rather than multiplied, which distinguishes the system from traditional bookmakers.

• At least one player has already joined the bet.

• Once two players are in, the bet is guaranteed to take place.

• A pot (prize pool) has already been formed. In contrast, when creating a new bet, the pot starts only with the initial stake.

• Selection of bets can be made personally.
• Stake amount can be set personally.
• The “Only visible by invitation” feature can be applied to restrict access.

A private bet is established by activating the “Only visible by invitation” option during the creation process. After finalizing the setup, the “Invite to private round” button appears exclusively on the creator’s bet slip. This button remains active until the first match has kicked off.

Invitations to private bets are managed exclusively through the internal “Invite to private round” button on the creator’s bet slip. For security reasons, the full access link is not displayed in the browser. This ensures that only users invited directly by the creator can join; any forwarded links remain invalid for unauthorized participants.

'Approve' confirms the player's participation, while the red 'X' rejects it. This action is independent of whether the invited person has already submitted their predictions. Even if they haven't done so at the time the decision is made, the decision remains valid.

First: A bet is automatically closed for new entries at the kick-off of the first listed match. No further participation is possible once the event has started.

Second: Once the maximum number of players has been reached, participation is no longer possible.

The stake will be automatically refunded.

Affected matches are ignored for scoring purposes. The bet is finalized based on the remaining matches and moved to the "Finalized" section.

Additional points can be purchased at any time. To do so, use the "Buy game points" function located in the main menu.

This is due to several reasons. Thanks to the minimal cost for the virtual game points, the following benefits can be guaranteed for our users:

• To be able to offer the platform entirely free of third-party advertisements.

• To prevent abuse and protect the ecosystem from spam accounts or bots.

• To cover operating costs over time, thus ensuring the platform's continuity.

• To be able to continuously improve and further develop the platform.

• To enhance the gameplay by ensuring a solid thrill; as game points are not free, successful gaming rounds are essential to avoid repetitive topping up.

These minimal fees are comparable to inserting a coin into a pinball or foosball machine and are necessary to continue playing.

A different appearance of the badge indicates a private bet. This occurs when the "Only visible by invitation" property is activated. The visual change serves as an immediate signal to the user.
