6.    How the Game works
6.1    Hotshot is an online multi-player game of skill where each player can shoot other players in order to earn Game ‘tokens’. Getting shot by another player results in a player losing Game ‘tokens’.
6.2    To begin, you must select a character from a list of available characters. You will appear in the playground looking like the selected character.
6.3    You must choose from one of the available virtual playgrounds to play in. The playground landscapes are based on real locations such as London, Zagreb, New York or Tokyo and mythical locations such as Kalevala.
6.4    Each available Game playground also has an advertised hit value. The hit value is a number represented in Game ‘tokens’. This is the value that will aim to be deducted from any player’s Game ‘token’ balance when that is hit by an opponent’s bullet.
6.5    Once within one of the virtual playgrounds, the Game session starts and each player is involved in a game of skill.
6.6    You can fire bullets in the playground by making a ‘FIRE’ action. There is a maximum limit of 3 fired bullets per player at any one time. A fired bullet travels until it hits another player or a playground landscape obstruction (an object designated as a bullet obstruction).

6.7    Exiting the Game session

(a)    To exit the Game session, you must either:

(i)    reach and enter the teleport, or,
(ii)    press the LEAVE action key/button and wait for 10 seconds without being hit.

(b)    If your Game ‘token’ balance is less than 100 Game ‘tokens’ in a Game session, a 10 second timer will start. If you do not manage to increase your Game ‘token’ balance within the 10 seconds, the Game session will end. If you get hit/shot during the same 10 seconds, you will immediately exit the Game session. If you do manage to increase your Game ‘token’ balance within the 10 seconds, the Game exit timer will stop, and you will remain in the Game session.
(c)    You will automatically leave the Game session if your Game ‘token’ balance reaches 0 (zero) Game ‘tokens’.
(d)    Disconnecting from the Game session in any other way may incur penalties. The penalty level is decided by Rapidfire.

6.8    By accepting these terms and conditions, you agree the following

(a)    Any decision of the Game’s Arbiter is final and you cannot appeal against any Game Arbiter decision. The bullet hit is decided by the Game’s arbiter oversight system ("Arbiter" as in Chess game arbiter). Game Arbiter decisions include but are not limited to players getting shot, players cheating, players trying to hack the Game, players exiting the Game, imposing Game penalties on players.
(b)    You agree that if you are hit by another player’s (“Enemy”) bullet that Rapidfire will immediately reduce your game ‘token’ balance by the Game's advertised hit value, or if the your Game ‘token’ balance is less than the Game’s advertised hit value by your total Game ‘token’ balance.
(c)    You accept that, if you shoot another player (“Enemy”) (as decided by the Game Arbiter) then Rapidfire will immediately increase your Game ‘token’ balance by the Game's advertised hit value less the Game ledger’s ‘gas’ fees (which currently range between 1%-4% of the Game's advertised hit value), or if the Enemy’s Game ‘token’ balance is less than the Game’s advertised hit value by the Enemy’s total Game ‘token’ balance less the Game ledger’s ‘gas’ fees (which currently range between 1%-4% of the Game's advertised hit value).
(d)    You accept that the Game ledger’s ‘gas’ fees can range between 1% and 4% of the Game's advertised hit value, with a minimum Game ledger ‘gas’ fee of 1 Game ‘token’. The Game ledger’s ‘gas’ fees range can be change without notice.
(e)    You cannot claim against the Enemy for a failure to settle.
(f)    You cannot claim against the Game or Rapidfire for a failure to settle.
(g)    You will not play this Game, if you are under the legal age by law for playing this type of Game.
(h)    Rapidfire may terminate any game without notice.
(i)    Rapidfire is not liable for any financial losses to any player.
(j)    Rapidfire is not liable for any Game session gameplay problems that a player may have.
(k)    Rapidfire is not liable for any interruptions of the player’s Game session, for example, Internet interruption or Game server issues.

 

7.    Redemption of Game ‘Tokens’ and Withdrawing Funds
7.1    You can initiate the redemption your Game ‘tokens’ for funds and withdraw such funds from the Game at any time in two ways:

(a)    Card: You can initiate a withdrawal to the credit or debit card account that you used to purchase Game ‘tokens’. Rapidfire’s licensed payment service provider facilitates card withdrawals to your card. 
(b)    Cryptoassets: You can initiate a withdrawal in the form of cryptoassets to the same  blockchain address that was used to purchase the Game ‘tokens’. Rapidfire’s licensed payment service provider facilitates cryptoasset transfer.

7.2    Lower Redemption Limit

(a)    There is a minimum redemption and withdrawal limit of 2,500 Game ‘tokens’ in place, as well as transaction fees charged by Rapidfire for different withdrawal methods.

7.3    Upper Redemption Limits

(a)    All withdrawals are subject to anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Maximum withdrawal value and time limits are also imposed by the Game, based on the player’s location and country of access to the Game. 

7.4    Possible KYC check

(a)    KYC stands for "Know Your Customer" and is a process that financial institutions use to verify the identity of their clients. KYC is a key part of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and is required by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK. Should Rapidfire’s payment service provider (PSP) require you to perform a KYC check at certain times before making a payout to you, you will be asked by the Game to provide your email address, and we will pass your email address to Rapidfire’s PSP.
