# Quickstart

> From opening the bot to a dealt hand.

**1. Open the bot**

Start [@Aceupgamebot](https://t.me/Aceupgamebot) in Telegram, or tap the
**♠ Play** button in a group that runs its own Ace Up venue.

The first screen asks two things: that you are 21 or over, and that you
accept the [terms](https://aceupgame.com/terms/). One tap covers both,
and it is recorded once.

**2. Deposit SOL or ETH**

Open **Wallet → Deposit** and pick a chain. You get a deposit address that
belongs to you and does not change — save it if you want to top up later.

| | Minimum |
| - | - |
| SOL on Solana | 0.005 SOL |

Send only that asset on that network. The screen shows the chain ID and the
explorer so you can check before you send.

> [!WARNING]
>
> SPL tokens, wrapped SOL and ERC-20 tokens are not credited. Only the
> native coin on the named network. If you send the wrong thing, read
> [Wrong network](https://aceup.mintlify.site/money/wrong-network.md) — it is usually recoverable.

**3. Wait about 30 seconds**

Ace Up watches the chain for you. There is no "I've sent it" button because
there is nothing for you to tell us — the deposit is credited on
confirmation, normally within half a minute.

You can play with it straight away. A 60-minute hold applies to
*withdrawing* that deposit, not to betting it.

**4. Place a bet**

Tap **Play · SOL** or **Play · ETH**, then tap chips on the felt to build
your bet. **Undo** removes the last chip, **Clear** empties the spots,
**Rebet** repeats your last one.

![Chips stacked on the betting spot with the total shown, and Undo, Rebet and Clear beneath the chip rack.](https://mintcdn.com/aceup/9Or0tHJTM0oGeA8-/images/screens/bet-placed.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=9Or0tHJTM0oGeA8-\&q=85\&s=a8acd517c991430f94ecc2caac4d4bd4)

Deal names the total before you commit, split into the main bet and any
side bets.

**5. Play the hand**

Hit, Stand, Double and Split. A button that does not apply is faded and says
why — "Split · not a pair" — rather than disappearing.

The full rules are on [Rules and paytables](https://aceup.mintlify.site/play/rules.md). The short version:
six decks, the dealer hits a soft 17, and blackjack pays 3:2.

**6. Withdraw whenever you like**

**Wallet → Withdraw**, paste an address, confirm in the bot DM. Under
0.5 SOL or 0.05 ETH a day it sends automatically; above that a person
approves it first.

See [Withdraw](https://aceup.mintlify.site/money/withdraw.md) for the whole path.
