# Points Program

Points reward you for participating in Megapot. Earn points by playing, referring friends, or backing the prize pool.

## How to Earn Points

There are three ways to earn points:

### Playing

Every ticket you buy earns points. Each ticket is assigned a random point value when purchased:

| Points | Chance |
| ------ | ------ |
| 100    | 60%    |
| 200    | 20%    |
| 500    | 10%    |
| 1,000  | 7%     |
| 2,500  | 2%     |
| 5,000  | 0.75%  |
| 10,000 | 0.25%  |

Most tickets earn 100 points, but you might get lucky with a rare 10,000-point ticket!

### Referring Friends

Earn points when people you refer buy tickets:

* **Direct referrals**: Earn **20%** of your referral's ticket points
* **Second-level referrals**: Earn **5%** of their ticket points

For example, if someone you referred buys a ticket worth 1,000 points, you earn 200 points. And if *they* referred someone who buys that ticket, they'd earn 50 points too.

### Backing the Prize Pool

Liquidity providers earn points based on their deposit size:

* **65 points per $100 deposited per drawing**

If you deposit $500, you earn 325 points each drawing for as long as your deposit is active.

Note: Backer points are tracked separately and don't count toward VIP level progression.

## VIP Levels

As you accumulate points, you'll progress through VIP levels. Each level unlocks a multiplier that boosts all your future point earnings.

| Level    | Points Required | Multiplier |
| -------- | --------------- | ---------- |
|          | 0               | 1x         |
| Bronze   | 1+              | 1.1x       |
| Silver   | 10,000+         | 1.25x      |
| Gold     | 50,000+         | 1.5x       |
| Platinum | 250,000+        | 1.75x      |
| Emerald  | 3,000,000+      | 2x         |
| Ruby     | 15,000,000+     | 2.25x      |
| Diamond  | 100,000,000+    | 2.5x       |
| Elite    | 1,000,000,000+  | 3x         |

### How Multipliers Work

Your VIP multiplier applies to points you earn *after* reaching that level.

For example, if you're Gold level (1.5x) and buy a ticket worth 1,000 base points, you'll receive 1,500 points. The higher your level, the faster you climb!

Multipliers apply to:

* Ticket purchase points
* Referral points (based on *your* level, not the buyer's)

Multipliers do **not** apply to Backer points.

## Tips for Earning More Points

1. **Keep playing** - Every ticket earns points, and you might hit a rare high-value ticket
2. **Refer friends** - Build your network and earn 20% of their ticket points automatically
3. **Level up early** - Higher VIP levels mean bigger multipliers on everything you earn going forward
