How to Use the AECGambit Lottery
The AECGambit is a provably fair, on-chain lottery that offers a fun way to participate in the ecosystem while contributing to its growth. This guide explains how to place your bets and claim your results.
Key Mechanics to Remember:
50/50 Split: For every bet, 50% is sent directly to the Perpetual Engine as protocol revenue, and 50% goes into the prize pool.
Time-Locked Pools: Bets are placed into pools that last for a short duration (approx. 2 minutes). After a pool closes, anyone can trigger the draw.
Individual Random Results: Your outcome is not dependent on other players. Each bet has its own individual, random result determined by a future blockhash.
Step 1: Navigate to the Gambit Page
Connect your wallet to the AetherCycle dApp and select the "Gambit" tab from the main navigation menu. You will see the main dashboard with the current pool's status, your personal stats, and the prize structure.
Step 2: Place Your Bet
Review the Prize Structure: Before betting, take a look at the "Prize Structure" panel. This shows you all possible winning multipliers (from a small win up to a 1000x Mega Win) and their exact chances.
Enter Your Bet Amount: In the "Place Your Bet" card, enter the amount of AEC you wish to bet. The amount must be between 100 and 10,000 AEC.
Approve & Place Bet:
Approve: If this is your first time, you'll need to approve the Gambit contract to spend your AEC. Click "Approve" and confirm in your wallet.
Place Bet: Once approved, click the "Place Bet" button and confirm the transaction.
Your bet is now locked in for the current pool. You can only place one bet per wallet in each pool.
Step 3: Wait for the Draw and Claim
Once the pool timer runs out, the status will change, and the pool will be ready to be drawn. This is typically handled automatically by the dApp.
After the pool you participated in has been drawn, your result will appear in the "Recent Results" panel . For winning bets, a "Claim" button will appear.
Click "Claim" and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Your winnings will be sent directly to you.
For losing bets, the result is simply recorded, and no claim action is needed.
You can track your lifetime performance, including your net profit and biggest win, in the "Your Stats" panel . Good luck!
