Designed so that cheating is detectable and the damage is capped.
Nobody can make fraud impossible. What a system can do is make every cheat visible in the numbers and limit what it can cost. That applies to account holders, to sources, and to us.
For signal sources
- Sealed until kick-off. In the valuable window we only hold ciphertext.
- Signed receipts, anchored hourly. What you sent and when cannot be changed later, by anyone.
- Never shown before placement. Not on any board, not to any account holder.
- Attribution by id. Every executed bet carries your source and proposal id.
- A portable record. Your bundle verifies without our server.
For account holders
- We hold no money. Your money stays in your accounts. The worst case is the normal risk of betting, inside your limits.
- A trail for every bet. Fair price, odds, placement, ticket, result, share. Exportable and checkable against your bookmaker account.
- A maximum stake the Agent enforces. A larger stake is cut to it. Which agents run and how much per bet is your choice, in your account.
- One switch. Turn the Agent off, and nothing more is placed.
For the network
- Time-bound reports. Placement results arrive within seconds, stamped on our side before any result exists.
- Statistical check. "Failed" placements must win as often as placed ones. If they win more, we know.
- Program accounts. Everything on a registered account counts.
- Small stakes first. Limits rise with the record.
- The signal is the leash. Unpaid shares switch the signal off the same day.
Eight ways to cheat, and what each one costs the cheater.
We wrote this list against ourselves first. Most cheats only work if the system believes what the client says. It does not.
| Who, and how | What stops it, or shows it |
|---|---|
| An account holder does not pay the sharewe hold no money | The signal is the leash: without the engine the Agent is worthless, and it is switched off the same day. Our exposure is one settlement period, never more. |
| "The bet was not placed"said only of winners | Placement results are reported within seconds, stamped on our side before any result exists. And the failed ones must win at the same rate as the placed ones; after fifty bets a difference is visible. |
| Bets are copied to a second accountthat is not in the program | Bets arrive just in time, not as a feed. Not everyone gets every bet, so each set is a fingerprint. Copying is a breach of contract. And registering the second account is simpler than cheating. |
| Private betting on a program account | It counts anyway. Program accounts are program accounts, and hiding it is a breach of contract. |
| A source bets first, then sends the signal | It is scored at receipt, after its own move: worse closing-line value, no execution, no pay. It punishes itself. |
| A source sends thousands and shows the winners | One scorecard, everything counts, and seals open by time, not by choice. |
| A source re-sells what the board already shows | Uniqueness is measured against our own board at receipt. It scores as nothing. |
| Someone says we cheated | Every bet has its full trail in the dashboard, exportable; every receipt is signed and anchored. The answer is in the record, not in an argument. |
We sell measurement. Never the bet.
- You are the bettor. On your own accounts, with your own money.
- Your bookmakers, your responsibility. Which ones you use, and whether that is permitted where you live, is your decision.
- No pool, no outside capital, no token. You bring the accounts and the money.
Only what settlement needs.
Your contact details, the accounts you register, the Agent's placement reports and status. Used for settlement and fraud prevention, never sold, deleted when the retention period ends.
Keys stay where they belong.
The referee's signing key never leaves its server and is never logged. The Agent places nothing without a fresh, valid instruction from the engine.

If you find a vulnerability in the Agent, the referee or this site, report it through the contact form with the subject "Security". We answer every report, credit the finder if they wish, and do not pursue good-faith research.
