1. Pilot Status
LightningWars is currently an invitation-only promotional pilot for
adults aged 18 and over, Bitcoin holders, and early feedback groups.
The current plan is to run one or two small pilot sessions, collect
logs, review payment and payout records, and then seek accountant,
legal, and KSA-style review before any public rollout. The purpose is
to test whether players enjoy a physical skill-based game that uses
Bitcoin over Lightning for player identity, payment, audit trail,
and payout settlement.
2. Game Format
The standard pilot format is a 20-minute Last Man Standing laser
game. Every player competes individually. A player is eliminated
after four confirmed hits. Final ranking is based on the live match
result recorded by the game system.
3. Skill-Based Activity
LightningWars is intended as a physical skill-based live game. The
result depends on movement, timing, accuracy, positioning, and
survival during play. It is not intended as a chance-based promotion
or financial product.
4. Price and Match Pool
The current pilot price is EUR 12 per player for a 20-minute game.
Player fees enter the match pool. A routing reserve is kept for
Lightning fees, 10% is kept by LightningWars for pilot operation
costs, and the net player payout is split after final ranking. For a
three-player winner group, places 1, 2, and 3 currently receive 50%,
30%, and 20% of the net player payout.
5. Wallet Identity and Payout Destination
The player's Lightning Address or LNURL is used as their player ID
and payout destination. Any compatible Lightning Address or LNURL
wallet may be used. Wallet of Satoshi is only the easiest pilot
recommendation. Players are responsible for entering or scanning the
correct wallet identity before play. A charged phone and a funded
Lightning wallet are required for the current pilot flow.
6. Payouts and Fallback
Payouts are attempted after the final ranking. If an automatic payout
fails because of wallet, network, routing, or provider issues, a
claim or manual fallback process may be used. Payout logs may be
kept for audit, troubleshooting, and accounting.
7. Operating Boundaries
LightningWars is not an exchange, custodial wallet provider,
investment product, crypto trading service, or financial product.
Players control their own wallet destination. Operators never ask for
seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, or custodial account
login details.
8. Safety and Operator Instructions
Players must follow operator instructions, location rules, and safety
directions. The operator may pause, restart, or stop a game if a
player behaves unsafely, equipment fails, the location becomes
unsafe, or the pilot cannot continue responsibly.
9. Cancellation and Refunds
Cancellation, refund, weather, no-show, failed payment, and failed
payout situations are handled under the refund policy. The refund
policy should be read together with these terms before booking or
check-in.
10. Privacy
LightningWars processes only the data needed to run the pilot, handle
payment and payout status, maintain match records, and communicate
with players or organizers. Details belong in the privacy policy.
11. Organizer and Contact
The pilot is organized by H. Begeman through an existing entity.
