# Betting and Spectating

The betting system will be set up and paid in ETH, stables like USDC, or if both parties agree by indicating as such, a DeFi yield-bearing asset (YBA) such as jEth, GMX, veDPX, etc.

Once the player has the new in-game currency purchased, they can buy an "Entry Ticket" to an event. Our first offering will be the deterministic gladiatorial arena. 

Once a ticket has been purchased a fighter will be sent to the arena to duel to the death in 1 on 1 combat.

Your entry stake is held in an ESCROW and depending on the outcome of the fight a reward will be given. 

If your fighter wins a larger reward will be provided. If your fighter loses you will receive a participation award (limited to once per day), both rewards are given from our liquidity pool. \

You can view the fight from multiple angles, seeing every blow and parry as the gladiators vie to be the winner. Once a gladiator has been defeated the funds are sent to the winner's wallet immediately.
