How it works
Play-money wagering · Global league
FightIQ is a play-money wagering game. You stake a balance on fight outcomes at live market odds; when a fight settles, your balance moves. No real money is involved. The rules below are for the Global league — private leagues (coming later) can set their own balances and rules.
- Everyone starts with 500 play-money balance.
- Before each event — once the previous event has finished — every member receives a flat 100 stipend. (A season's very first event isn't funded.)
- No rebuys. If you run your balance down, the per-event stipend is the only way back up.
- Minimum wager is 10; the maximum is your available balance.
- Pick a winner (required), plus an optional method (KO/TKO, Submission, or Decision) and round, then set your stake. Each pick page shows a live payout estimate before you commit.
- Your stake is held from your balance when you place the wager.
- You can change your pick or stake any time until the line locks (see below), and you can fully cancel an open wager to get your stake back.
- Each fighter's odds come from live betting markets and drift as the market moves. If no market is available, a fight is priced even (2.00×).
- Betting on a fight locks at its closing line — the moment the previous fight on the card ends (or, for the card's first fight, when the event goes live). Whatever the odds are at that instant are frozen, and every wager on that fight settles at the same frozen odds.
- Once locked, a fight can no longer be bet, edited, or cancelled.
Your payout is the total returned to your balance (your stake included):
stake × winner odds × method bonus × round bonus
- Getting a prop wrong is free upside — a wrong method or wrong round just multiplies by 1.00 (no penalty). You still win on the winner alone.
- A Decision pick has no round bonus (decisions go the distance).
Method bonus
A DQ counts as KO/TKO for the method bonus.
Round bonus (by scheduled rounds)
Pick the wrong winner and you still get a partial refund of your stake based on which props you got right (evaluated against the actual result):
Consolation is a fraction of your stake. A Decision pick has no round leg, so a wrong-winner Decision can reach at most the method tier.
If a fight ends in a Draw, a No Contest, or is cancelled, every wager on it is voided and your full stake is refunded — no win, no loss.
- Wagers settle on the official result as called on fight night — the referee's stoppage or the judges' decision.
- Overturned results don't change payouts. If a result is later reversed (e.g. a commission overturns it to a No Contest after a failed drug test), your wager stays settled as it paid on the night. The day-of result is final.
- Each wager settles once. Winnings and refunds are credited to your balance the moment the fight is official.
Play money only. No real-money wagering or cashout.
