👉 Let’s Talk About Steem-Bingo

---

Can you lose when you play Steem-Bingo?

In most lotteries and games, you lose money if you don’t win.
But Steem-Bingo works differently.

---

💰 How Steem-Bingo Works

Steem-Bingo typically has a prize pool ranging from 350 to 430 STEEM per round, with a daily draw and 6 lucky winners.

🎟 1 STEEM = 1 ticket

If you don’t win, you will receive an upvote worth 20% more than the ticket cost.

That means:

• 1 ticket (1 STEEM) → 1.2 STEEM returned
• Maximum 15 tickets → 18 STEEM returned

---

⏳ Payout Timing

Upvote rewards are paid out after 7 days, which is standard on Steem.

---

📈 Example Strategy

Let’s say you buy 15 tickets every day for 7 days:

• Total spent: 105 STEEM
• Return: 105 STEEM + 20% = 126 STEEM

After the first 7 days, you can reuse your initial 105 STEEM, and the cycle continues.

This means you can keep playing while earning approximately 20% extra each week.

---

🎯 The Key Idea

With Steem-Bingo:

• You always get value back from your tickets
• You can reuse your funds and continue playing
• You still have the chance to win one of the daily prizes

👉 In principle, you are playing for free over time, while having the opportunity to win big rewards.

🎲 Play Responsibly • Have Fun • Win Big

🔢 How Rounds Work

Each round has a maximum of 430 tickets. Once a round fills up, it closes immediately and a new round opens — no waiting, no gaps.

Tickets per user per round: Maximum 15 tickets per user per round.

Bought more than 15 at once? No problem. Your surplus tickets are automatically carried forward into the next round(s). You don't lose them — they're pre-assigned and ready to go the moment the next round opens.

---

🎰 How the Draw Works

Every midnight UTC, one round is drawn — always the oldest closed round waiting in the queue.

If rounds are filling up quickly and multiple rounds are pending, they draw one per night in order. No round is ever skipped.

Numbers are drawn randomly using a Fisher-Yates shuffle across the full 75-number Bingo pool.

🏆 Win Conditions & Rewards

There are 7 outcomes per round. Prizes are proportional to how many tickets were sold — a full 430-ticket round pays out the maximum amounts shown below.

#	Condition	Max Reward	How
1	Full House	117 STEEM	All 24 numbers on your card (excluding FREE) matched
2	Four Corners	60 STEEM	B1, B5, O1, O5 all matched
3	Full Row	50 STEEM	Any complete horizontal row matched
4	Full Column	50 STEEM	Any complete vertical column matched
5	Any 10 Numbers	18 STEEM	Any 10 of your numbers matched
6	Life-Saver	15 STEEM	Randomly selected from non-winning players
7	Unlucky	0 STEEM	Randomly selected from non-winning players

Rewards scale proportionally. If a round closes with 215 tickets (half full), all prizes are halved.

Multiple win conditions can be hit in a single round by different players.

---

🍀 Life-Saver & Unlucky

After all pattern wins are determined, two players are randomly chosen from everyone who didn't win a pattern:

• Life-Saver — receives 15 STEEM (at max pool). Congratulations, luck was on your side!
• Unlucky — no prize, just the title. Better luck next round!

Life-Saver and Unlucky are always two different players.

---

💚 Upvotes for Every Buyer

Every ticket purchase earns you an upvote on your blog — regardless of whether you win or not.

• Buy tickets → we post a comment on your latest blog post with you as 100% beneficiary → upvote follows
• The more tickets you buy (up to 15 per round), the larger your upvote target
• Upvotes build up over time — we never skip a buyer

Who does NOT receive an upvote:

• The Unlucky player — no upvote, no comment, nothing extra

Who DOES receive an upvote:

• All regular buyers ✅
• Pattern winners ✅ (they also receive a congratulations comment)
• The Life-Saver winner ✅

---

Targets are always met — upvotes may come from multiple accounts over time as voting power naturally recovers. Our VP never drops below 80%.
