What is play-money?
Play-money is money that isn’t money: it keeps score like a balance, spends like money inside the game, and is worth nothing anywhere else — on purpose.
Here’s what that looks like in practice. It’s free. No card, nothing hiding a few screens in, no money going in and none coming out. You can’t convert it, transfer it, or turn it into anything besides more of itself. It’s built to carry weight without carrying cost.
So why keep score in something worth nothing? Because the score was never the play-money — it’s what the play-money writes down. Put some behind a call and you’ve said, out loud, how sure you are. When the question settles, that sureness lands on your record either way. The play-money is the pencil. The record is the page.
On majjha — a play-money prediction market — it’s called Dots: a thousand of them land in your pocket the moment you walk in, and what they buy you is the only thing here worth having: a record you can point to. If you’re wondering whether there’s money in this somewhere, the FAQ answers it straight.
