# HoodShot FAQ

> Common questions about HoodShot: how it is fair, what you need to play, fees, limits, verification, and more.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is HoodShot?">
    A fully on-chain casino on Robinhood Chain with three live games (Coin Flip, Dice, Plinko). You bet directly from your wallet, a smart contract holds the stake and pays out, and every outcome is verifiable by anyone. There is no account and no custody.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is HoodShot provably fair, and how?">
    Yes. Your bet terms are hashed into a digest that is fixed on-chain before anything is decided. The house signs that digest with an RSA key whose public half is in the contract, and exactly one valid signature exists per digest, so the house cannot pick an outcome. The result is then derived from the signature by a public rule. See [Provably Fair](/concepts/provably-fair) and [Verify a Bet](/concepts/verify-a-bet).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can HoodShot manipulate outcomes?">
    No. Signing your digest is the house's only move, and RSA leaves exactly one valid signature, which the contract checks against its stored public key. There is no branch point where an outcome is chosen. Changing your pick, stake, or block would change the digest and invalidate the signature.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need an account?">
    No. Connect a wallet and play. No email, no username, no KYC. Your wallet address is your identity.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What do I need to play?">
    A WalletConnect-compatible wallet holding **native ETH on Robinhood Chain** (chain id 4663). ETH covers both stakes and the tiny gas cost. See [Connect Wallet](/getting-started/connect-wallet).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does it cost to bet?">
    Your stake plus a **1% protocol fee** charged on top (staking 1 ETH sends 1.01 ETH), plus gas , a fraction of a cent on Robinhood Chain. Half the fee pays whoever settles the bet. The 5% house edge is separate and comes out of payouts, not your stake.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are there betting limits?">
    Yes, per bet. Minimum and maximum stakes are live contract values that scale with house liquidity and your chosen multiplier (a higher potential payout means a lower max stake). The bet panel shows the current limits for your exact pick.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How fast do I get paid, and do I have to do anything?">
    Payouts are automatic. The keeper settles your bet on-chain within seconds and the ETH lands in your wallet. You can press **Collect** to settle instantly yourself, but you never have to: the outcome is identical either way.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if my transaction fails?">
    A failed `placeBet` means no bet was placed and no stake moved (you only pay the gas for the failed attempt). Common causes are insufficient balance, or being on the wrong network. See [Troubleshooting](/help/troubleshooting).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I verify a bet?">
    Every bet has a **verify** button, and shared tickets link to `hoodshot.games/v/<bet id>`. You can also verify fully by hand with no HoodShot software. See [Verify a Bet](/concepts/verify-a-bet).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I earn by settling bets?">
    Yes. Settlement is permissionless and pays 0.5% of the stake to whoever submits it. See [Settlers](/concepts/settlers).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is HoodShot available in my country?">
    HoodShot is decentralized software. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you, including any local restrictions on online gambling. See [Responsible Gaming](/help/responsible-gaming).
