Website Usage and Currency System
Fantasy Sports Betting Platform
OnlyBets offers a unique, fantasy-based platform for sports betting enthusiasts. Our website functions as a comprehensive social network and statistical tool specifically designed for the world of sports betting. It is an environment where you can simulate betting scenarios without the risks associated with real money betting.
Internal Currency System
- TipCoins and BetCoins: As part of our fantasy betting system, OnlyBets uses two types of internal virtual currencies - TipCoins and BetCoins. These currencies are integral to our platform and are used for placing bets and recording user statistics.
- Nature of Currencies:
- TipCoins: These are allocated to users for placing bets on the platform. Users receive a set amount of TipCoins periodically (e.g., weekly) and can earn more by participating in various activities on the platform.
- BetCoins: This currency is used to track the outcome of bets. Users win or lose BetCoins based on the results of their bets. BetCoins serve as a measure of a user's betting skill and are used in leaderboards and other competitive features.
- No Real Money Value: It is crucial to understand that TipCoins and BetCoins do not have real money value. They are purely virtual currencies designed for use within the OnlyBets platform and cannot be bought, sold, traded, or exchanged for real money, goods, or services.
- Not Cryptocurrency: These internal currencies are not cryptocurrencies. They do not exist on any blockchain, are not mined, and have no value outside of the OnlyBets platform.
Responsible Use
- Fantasy Betting: Users are reminded that OnlyBets is a platform for fantasy betting. The bets placed using our internal currencies are entirely fictional and are meant for entertainment and statistical tracking purposes only.
- Compliance with Local Laws: While OnlyBets is not a real-money betting platform, users are advised to ensure that their participation complies with local laws and regulations regarding online betting and gambling.
Disclaimer: OnlyBets is committed to promoting responsible gaming. If you believe you have a gambling problem or know someone who does, we urge you to seek help from appropriate authorities or organizations. This platform is strictly for simulated betting and should not be used as a basis for real money gambling decisions.
