# FAQ

<details>

<summary>Do I need a wallet to play?</summary>

No. Free Roam is the whole city with no money. Skip the wallet step and press Enter Los Santos. You only need a wallet for the arena, or to show your badge.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How much does a round cost?</summary>

1,000 BAWSAQ, plus a tiny amount of ETH for gas on two transactions. Survive and the 1,000 comes back.

</details>

<details>

<summary>When are rounds?</summary>

Every ten minutes, around the clock, starting on the ten in UTC: 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. Five minutes of lobby to enter, then a five-minute fight. The timer on the join screen tells you where the current slot is.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What do I win?</summary>

500 BAWSAQ for every player you knock out, your stake back if you survive, and the winner pot if you are the last one standing or have the most knockouts among the survivors. See The money.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What do I lose?</summary>

Your 1,000 entry, if you are knocked out. Nothing else, ever. Extra deposits are refunded. Bounties you earned before falling are kept.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is anything burned?</summary>

Not in survivor rounds. Every BAWSAQ deposited comes back out as a claim. The Burn Vault in the city counts every BAWSAQ ever sent to the dead address, from any source.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Where is my money after the round?</summary>

In a claim with your wallet's name on it. Open the arena panel's Wallet & claims drawer and press Redeem claim. Claims stay available across later rounds.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I play on my phone?</summary>

Yes, in the browser, landscape is best. Two sticks and buttons for jump, kick and the car. Wallet connection works through your mobile wallet app.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why can't I hit that player?</summary>

Either they are in an arena round and you are not, or the other way around. Round players and free players cannot touch each other. Spectators cannot be touched by anyone.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the thing floating over people's heads?</summary>

Their badge: the logo of the biggest BAWSAQ-listed bag in the wallet they signed in with. See Your badge.

</details>

<details>

<summary>The join screen says the arena is offline.</summary>

The round operator is down. No deposits are taken while it is. Play Free Roam and check back.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I found a bug or lost money.</summary>

Note the time in UTC, your wallet address and what happened, and report it. See Community. Every round's deposits and claims are on the explorer, so it can be checked.
