Is there a limit to the number of game rounds I can play in one session?

Yes, for certain games like Slots and Roulette, you can select between 1 to 30 rounds per session. This feature streamlines gameplay by reducing the need for multiple transaction approvals.

Is the RNG (Random Number Generator) fair and verifiable?

Yes. All Ape Church games use on-chain or verifiable randomness, depending on the game type. This ensures fairness and trustlessness. The outcome is not controlled by any centralized party and can be reviewed or verified by any user via blockchain explorers or source code.

What makes The Ape Church stand out from traditional gambling sites?

Unlike traditional casinos with a fixed house margin, Ape Church uses player-funded liquidity. Odds are displayed in-app and determined by algorithmic game logic; outcomes are not guaranteed.

What is The House?

The House on Ape Church is a player-funded liquidity pool. By staking into the pool, you take the opposite side of Player-vs-House games. When challengers win, payouts come from the pool; when they lose, the pool retains their stake. Your position’s value fluctuates with game outcomes, results are not guaranteed and may be negative.

What are Player vs House games?

Player vs House (PvH) games are classic casino-style games where a single player competes directly against the House. These include card games, spins, and other chance-based formats. Each game carries its own level of risk and reward, making them ideal for players who prefer solo play while testing their luck and strategy against the House.

Is staking in The House risk-free?

No. Staking carries risk because outcomes depend on player performance and game results. The pool’s value may rise or fall after each round, and there is no guaranteed profit.

How does the referral system work?

Ape Church utilizes a referral code system. When a new player joins using your referral code, you earn a percentage of the service fees from their gameplay, regardless of the token they use.

Are my funds safe on Ape Church?

Yes. Ape Church is a non-custodial platform, meaning you retain full control over your funds. All transactions are executed through smart contracts, ensuring transparency and security.​

How do I withdraw my funds from Ape Church?

To withdraw, open The House panel, on the right-hand side switch to Withdraw, enter the amount you want to withdraw, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Withdrawals become available once the 15-minute lock period has ended, and funds are sent directly back to your connected wallet.

Are there withdrawal or deposit limits?

Deposits have no platform-set limits beyond wallet and network rules. Withdrawals from the House are limited to once every 24 hours. A single Player-vs-House payout cannot exceed 5% of the total House pool to protect liquidity.

Are there any platform or withdrawal fees?

Deposits into the House have no minimum or maximum set by Ape Church. Withdrawals incur a 2% unstake fee.

Which networks does Ape Church support for deposits and withdrawals?

Ape Church supports deposits and withdrawals through ApeChain for gameplay, with the option to swap assets from Ethereum, Solana, Base, BNB Chain, and many other supported networks. Always check the in-app list of supported chains before sending tokens.

Who controls my funds?

Ape Church is non-custodial. All assets remain in your own wallet. Third-party routing may use temporary deposit addresses, but Ape Church never holds your funds.

What happens if I close the tab or disconnect during a game?

Since all actions on Ape Church are recorded on-chain, disconnecting or refreshing your browser does not affect the outcome. You can return at any time and verify results or resume gameplay. The platform prioritizes decentralization, meaning game data is preserved on the blockchain, not in a centralized database.

Do I need to approve a transaction for every game round?

No, not necessarily. For convenience, games like Slots and Roulette allow you to pre-select up to 30 rounds per session. Once you approve the initial transaction covering the total amount for all selected rounds, the rest of the spins/rounds play out automatically without additional approvals.

Can I lose more than I bet?

No. Your risk is limited to the amount you explicitly commit to the smart contract. There are no hidden fees or mechanics that could cause you to lose additional funds beyond your initial stake or buy-in for a session.

How are winnings calculated and paid out?

Winnings are calculated instantly at the end of each game round based on the game logic and RNG (random number generator). Payouts are made immediately to the player’s wallet via smart contract, ensuring transparency and security with no manual interference or delays.
