How Ace Up works

Three things are worth understanding before you play. None of them take long.

​

1. Your money

You deposit to an address that is yours alone and does not change. It is derived for your account on each chain, so your SOL address and your ETH address are different and neither is shared with another player. Balances are held per asset. SOL and ETH never mix, there is no conversion between them and no exchange rate is ever applied to your money. Amounts are counted in whole base units — lamports for SOL, gwei for ETH — so nothing is ever rounded against you mid-hand. Bets are placed in multiples of 1,000 units, which is what makes a 3:2 blackjack and a 2:1 insurance pay exactly.

​

2. The deal

Before a single card is dealt, the server picks a secret seed and publishes SHA-256(seed) — a commitment. It cannot change the shuffle after that without the hash no longer matching. When the round settles, the seed itself is revealed. Anyone can hash it, compare it to the commitment, and re-derive the exact shoe the round was dealt from. The shoe is six decks, reshuffled for every round. That means there is no count to keep and no penetration to exploit — and it also means the cards you are dealt owe nothing to the hand before.

​

3. Venues

A venue is a place to play. There are two kinds and they work identically for you as a player: A group that runs Ace Up has its own Telegram bot with its own name and branding. The game, the rules, the odds and the fairness proof are the same everywhere — the owner sets the table limits and the table names, and nothing else. Your account is global. One balance, one history, one set of limits, wherever you play.

What Ace Up never does

• No welcome credit, no free chips, no bonus with a wagering requirement.
• No prompt to deposit after you lose a hand.
• No rake, and no table fee taken from your bet. The house edge is the only thing the house earns, and it is printed.
• No conversion of your balance into anything else.
