WINNING
Win real money games — a find, not a bet
"Win real money" usually means a bet. You put money down, the game takes a cut, sometimes you get more back. FieldHunters has no stake. You dig. If the hole is an artefact, you own an artefact. If it is a sealed chest, you own bitcoin. If someone else finishes the hole first, you own nothing from that spot, even if you saw it first.
There is a second way a posted sum of money moves: the monthly hunt. The Keeper's Triad is a one-thousand-dollar jackpot in Treasures for the hunter who completes the set. That is a prize for a finished hunt, credited once, not a wheel you spin with a balance. Free play can still open a chest. The jackpot seat is the Archaeologist pass.
How a dig works
FieldHunters is one shared field in the browser. No download. You walk the Common Fields, the coil sings, you dig. Other hunters see the same spots. Several people can work one hole. The first to finish keeps the find. Dig time is the coil: bronze, the free one, takes fifty seconds; silver forty; gold twenty-five; mythic fifteen. Seeing a signal first does not mean you keep it.
Most holes are artefacts. Keep them, or sell duplicates to the Museum for coins. Now and then a hole is a sealed chest. What is inside is real bitcoin on your Treasures balance, shown in bitcoin at the rate of the moment. We do not publish the odds or the size of a chest. There is no wager and no entry fee. There is also no promise that a session pays.
The monthly hunt
A hunt hides a short set of pieces in the ground. The Keeper's Triad is three pieces and a one-thousand-dollar jackpot. Two of them can turn up in ordinary holes. The last one does not — the field does not give that piece up on its own. Archaeologist is how you take part in the jackpot. The hunter who completes the set is credited the prize as Treasures, the same bitcoin purse as a chest, not as coins. A later hunt can post a different figure. The number on the ribbon is the one that pays. It is a race for a posted prize, not a salary.
Withdrawing
Treasures pay out over the Lightning Network, in bitcoin. The minimum is the bitcoin equivalent of ten US dollars at the moment you ask. You have to pass identity checks first. We pay the account we verified. If a rail fails, the balance stays until it can be sent. Coins, outfits, and unused coil charges do not withdraw. The longer split is Two purses.
Not a casino, not an investment
You do not stake a balance to dig. You do not deposit to cash out a multiple. Nothing here quotes an APR. A free hunter on bronze can open a chest; a paying hunter can finish holes faster and join the hunt. Neither is owed a return. If a page about "games that pay" promised a wage, it would be lying. This one describes a game where real bitcoin is sometimes in the hole, and says what is not in the hole.
Whether any of this counts as "real money" in the sense of a wage: no. Whether a chest is real bitcoin you can withdraw: yes, above the floor, after identity checks. Details on the FAQ.
