Buying tickets

The basics

• Price: 0.1 SOL per ticket, fixed. No dynamic pricing, no premium tiers.
• Limit: 100 tickets per wallet per game.
• When: only during the Sale phase. Once the first burn happens, the door is closed — there is deliberately no mid-game entry (it was removed early in development: late buyers distorted the endgame).
• Where your 0.1 SOL goes: 0.09 SOL into the game's bank (the pot the survivors share), 0.01 SOL is the buy-in fee that pays the referral system — or the lottery, for the share no referrer claims. (Details.)

Starting a game vs joining one

If a sale is open, the app shows Buy ticket. If no game is selling, anyone can press Start a new game — this pays the game's storage rent (~0.118 SOL, mostly refunded after the game is cleaned up), creates the game, and buys your first tickets in one flow.

Large orders

A Solana transaction fits a limited number of ticket purchases, so big orders are split automatically — up to 15 tickets per transaction (10 if your account carries a referral chain, since the referral payouts ride in the same transaction). You place the order once and watch the tickets land batch by batch.

Two practical consequences:

1. The app caps your order at what your balance can actually pay for — slider and input simply won't go above it.
2. Don't push a large buy into the final seconds of a sale. Deadlines are measured in blocks, and time passes between the batches. An order started at the last moment can land partially: the earlier transactions make it, the later ones miss the deadline. Each transaction is all-or-nothing (a failed one costs only its network fee, ~0.000005 SOL), but the order as a whole can be incomplete. Leave a margin.

After you buy

Your tickets appear in the app within a second or two. Each ticket is an independent entry in the burn — owning 10 tickets means 10 independent 50% rolls each round, and you can exit any subset of them in any window.

The bot will message you when your game locks in its start ("hit the minimum — starts in ~X"), when exit windows open, and when the game finishes. The channel @burnbola announces every game publicly.
