# Safety and fair play

{% hint style="danger" %}
Nobody from BAWSAQ will ever ask for your recovery phrase, your private key, or a transfer to a personal address. Anyone who does is a scammer.
{% endhint %}

## The five rules

1. **Use a wallet you control.** Never an exchange account. Payouts go back to the address that paid in.
2. **Approve exactly 1,000.** When your wallet asks, the approval should be 1,000 BAWSAQ, not unlimited. Edit it if it is not.
3. **Enter through the game, never by transfer.** A bare transfer to the contract is not an entry.
4. **Check the address.** The escrow contract address is on the join screen and in the arena panel. Bookmark [arena.bawsaq.org](https://arena.bawsaq.org) and only play there.
5. **Claims are yours alone.** A claim can only be released by the wallet it was recorded for. Nobody can redirect it. Do not pay anyone who offers to "release it faster".

## What is enforced for you

* Every hit is judged by the server, not your browser, so nobody can fake a knockout.
* Every deposit is confirmed on-chain before it counts, and every claim is recorded on-chain before it is paid.
* The operator that opens and settles rounds runs on a separate machine from the game and never holds your keys. It can void a round, in which case everything is refunded. It cannot take a claim.
* One life per wallet per round, one entry at risk. Extra deposits are always refunded.

## Fair play

Play with the client you were given. Anything that automates movement or kicks is cheating. The all-time leaderboard is for people, not scripts.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bawsaq.org/more/safety.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
