Grab the Santa hat, keep it on your head, and knock it off everyone else's.

3% SANTA tax SANTA takes 3% on every transfer; the token does that, not this game. Anything you win in SANTA arrives 3% lighter: a 100 SANTA prize lands as 97.

How ranking works

  1. 10 free tickets a day. They reset every 24 hours.
  2. 1 ticket per ranked match. Leave before it starts and you get it back.
  3. Every player in the match adds 10 points to the pot, bots included.
  4. Paid places. 3 or fewer players: only 1st is paid and takes the whole pot. 4 or more: 1st gets 60%, 2nd 20%, 3rd 20%.
  5. Bots play to win. Matches can include bots under player names, and they can take paid places.
  6. Not placing costs 5 points.
  7. The leaderboard is your total points earned, from ranked matches and special events.
  8. Need more tickets? Buy up to 10 extra every 24 hours in the Store.
