Your First Bet

Let's walk through placing your first bet on ORE Pump, step by step.

Before You Start​

Make sure you have:

  • ✅ A connected wallet (Phantom or Solflare)
  • ✅ Some SOL in your wallet (any amount works - even 0.00001 SOL)
  • ✅ Understood the UI basics
Risk Warning

Only bet what you can afford to lose.

Step 1: Wait for Betting Phase​

Look at the status bar at the top:

  • "BETTING" with countdown = You can place bets
  • Watch the countdown timer for remaining time

If you see "SPINNING" or "RESULT", wait for the next round to start.

Step 2: Choose Your Bet Amount​

  1. Click on a coin to open its detail view
  2. Use the preset buttons (0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 2.5 SOL) for quick selection
  3. Or type a custom amount in the input field

Step 3: Pick a Coin and Approve​

In One-Click Mode (default):

  1. Click/tap any coin card
  2. Your wallet will pop up asking you to approve the transaction
  3. Review the amount and click "Approve" or "Confirm"
  4. Wait for confirmation (usually 1-2 seconds)

In Select Mode:

  1. Click coins to select them (highlighted border)
  2. Click "Place Bet" to bet on all selected coins
  3. Approve the transaction in your wallet
Wallet Approval Required

Every bet requires your wallet approval before it's placed. You always control what gets signed.

How to Choose?​

For your first bet, don't overthink it! Some strategies:

  • Random pick: It's all luck anyway
  • Follow the crowd: Bet on coins with high market cap
  • Contrarian: Bet on underdog coins with low market cap

Step 4: Watch the Action​

After betting closes:

Spinning Phase​

  • Reveal animation plays
  • The winner is being determined on-chain

Result Phase (~15 seconds)​

  • Winner announced with celebration animation
  • Winning coin shows price count-up and multiplier
  • If you bet on the winner: 🎉 You win a share of the pot!
  • If not: Better luck next round!

Understanding Your Results​

If You Won​

  • Your winnings are added to your claimable SOL balance
  • Check the wallet drawer to see your earnings
  • You can claim SOL anytime

If You Lost​

  • Your bet is gone (this is how the game works)
  • But you still earned unrefined ORE while playing!
  • Your unrefined ORE earns refined ORE over time
  • Try again next round

  1. Start small: Learn the rhythm before betting bigger
  2. Watch a few rounds: See how the game flows before betting
  3. Check your balance: Know how much you're willing to spend
