# Glossary

> The words Ace Up uses, and what each one means here.

## Ace Up

**Venue** — a place to play. Either the house (@Aceupgamebot) or a group that
runs its own Ace Up bot. Your account and balance are the same at all of them.

**House venue** — Ace Up's own venue, in @Aceupgamebot's DMs. Same tables, same
rules; the platform keeps the whole house win.

**Owner** — the person who runs a venue. Takes 30% of its net house win, funds
nothing, and cannot play there.

**Manager** — someone an owner has added to help run a venue. Sees the dashboard,
cannot touch payout addresses, and also cannot play there.

**Handle** — the total amount wagered over a period. Not the same as what the
house won.

**Net house win** — what the house won minus what it lost. An owner's share is of
this, not of handle.

**Carry-forward** — a losing period's deficit, carried into the next period and
earned back before another payout. It is never a debt.

**Period key** — how a two-week settlement period is named, e.g. `2026-W37`, the ISO week it starts in. Periods run from a Monday 00:00 UTC
to Sunday 23:59 UTC.

## Money

**Base unit** — the whole-number unit money is counted in. Lamports for SOL, gwei
for ETH. Both are one-billionth of a coin.

**Available** — what you can stake right now.

**Withdrawable** — what you can send out right now. Lower than available if a
deposit is still inside its 60-minute hold.

**Hold** — the 60 minutes after a deposit during which that deposit can be played
but not withdrawn.

**Sweep** — Ace Up consolidating deposits from your address into its own wallet.
It happens after you are credited and does not affect your balance.

## The game

**Shoe** — the stack of cards a round is dealt from. Ace Up's is six decks, 312
cards, rebuilt and reshuffled every round.

**H17** — the dealer hits a soft 17 (an ace counted as 11 plus six) and stands
on any hard 17 or better.

**DAS** — doubling after a split is allowed.

**Soft hand** — a hand with an ace counted as 11.

**Push** — a tie. Your stake comes back.

**Blackjack** — an ace and a ten-value card on the first two cards. Pays 3:2. A
21 made after a split or a hit is 21, not a blackjack.

**House edge** — the share of everything wagered that the house keeps on average.
0.89% on the main hand here.

**Side bet** — Perfect Pairs or 21+3. Optional, resolved on the deal, and much
more expensive than the main hand.

## Provably fair

**Server seed** — the server's secret input to the shuffle. Revealed after the
round settles.

**Client seed** — your input to the shuffle. Visible to you the whole time and
yours to change.

**Nonce** — the round counter that makes each round's shoe different from the
last even with the same seeds.

**Commitment** — `SHA-256(server seed)`, published before any card is dealt. It
is what stops the shuffle being changed afterwards.

**Verify** — re-deriving a round's shoe from its revealed values and checking it
matches what was dealt. Runs in your browser.

## Chains

**Chain ID** — the number that identifies a network to a wallet. Getting this
wrong is what "wrong network" means.

**Native coin** — SOL on Solana. Tokens are not the
native coin and are not credited.
