Rock Paper Scissors against another player for real stakes. Wondering how Rock Paper Scissors works? Rules, odds and honest numbers - no fluff, no "secrets".
The numbers, so you don't have to guess.
How a match works
Matches are Best of 3. In each round both players pick rock, paper or scissors before the 30-second move clock runs out. The first player to win 2 rounds takes the match. A drawn round still counts as one of the three. If nobody has a majority, the pot is split.
Creating and joining
- Pick a coin, enter your stake and create a room, or join an open one from the lobby.
- The match starts as soon as the room is full; your stake is charged at that point.
- You can leave a room before it starts. Open rooms close after 60 minutes.
Winning and payouts
- A 5% platform fee is taken from each stake when the match starts.
- The winner takes the whole pot, which is 1.9× their stake.
- A level match splits the pot; a cancelled match refunds every stake in full.
- Not throwing before the move clock runs out loses the match.
