Billing

The platform bills against a prepaid USD credit: you top up in the Console, and every day the table and streaming fees of the previous day are deducted automatically. There are no month-end invoices and no pay-later. Sandbox tenants are never billed.

Prices

Item	Price	Notes
Table fee (paid plan)	USD 100 per enabled table per month	Charged daily, pro rata; no table fee on the free plan
Streaming	USD 0.09 per GB	Video watched by players; charged to the prepaid credit on every plan
Sign-up credit	USD 5	So the free plan can try video too

Prices are versioned with effective dates, and every charge records the unit price used; a price change never alters past charges. The platform may offer different prices to specific tenants.

Daily charge

Every day at 00:05 UTC the previous UTC day is charged:

table fee for the day     = table-days × USD 100 ÷ days in the month
streaming fee for the day = streaming GB × USD 0.09

• Table-days: each table that was enabled at any time during the UTC day counts as one full day, including the day it was enabled and the day it was disabled.
• A table enabled for a whole month costs exactly USD 100, whatever the length of the month. For example, 3 tables in September (30 days) cost 3 × 100 ÷ 30 = USD 10 per day.
• 1 GB of streaming is 10⁹ bytes.
• Amounts are accumulated in millionths of a dollar; USD amounts in API responses have up to 6 decimals, and statements are rounded to cents.
• Charging is idempotent: each item is charged once per day.

Usage fees for shared tables

When you use a table another merchant shares with you (see Tables & round results):

• It counts towards your table count and table fees like a platform table, and its viewing traffic is part of your streaming fee.
• The provider may charge a usage fee (free by default): a fixed daily fee (one day for each day the table was enabled) or a percentage of valid bets (converted to USD at the platform's rates).
• Every day at 00:05 UTC, after the daily charge, the platform deducts the previous day's usage fees from your prepaid credit (billing ledger type share_fee) and credits the provider (share_income; the platform cut is 0 by default). Sandbox tenants are never billed.
• Usage fees you earn by sharing your own tables are added to your prepaid credit and can pay your platform fees.

Cross-merchant clearing for Hold'em player-vs-player tables

On Hold'em player-vs-player tables your players may sit with other merchants' players (see Tables & round results), so money moves between players of different merchants. The platform clears it as the counterparty of every merchant:

• For each hand the platform records every merchant's net result: your players' win/loss for the hand plus the rake attributed to them by contribution (the bet's rake). The net results of all merchants in a hand add up to 0.
• Every day at 00:05 UTC the previous day's net results are totalled per currency and converted to USD at the platform's rates: a net win (positive) is added to your prepaid credit and a net loss (negative) is deducted from it (billing ledger type clearing).
• Sandbox tenants and platform showcase accounts only play on play-money tables; their results are recorded but never posted.
• The daily details are in the Console under Hold'em records → Cross-merchant clearing (daily batches, today's running total, totals per table).

Plans

	Free demo plan (free)	Paid plan (paid)
Purpose	Demos and evaluation; many limits	Real operation
Tables	At most 2 (the platform can change this)	Unlimited, USD 100 per table per month
Streaming	USD 0.09 per GB from the prepaid credit	USD 0.09 per GB from the prepaid credit
Limits	See free demo plan limits	No demo limits

• Upgrade yourself in the Console under Plan & billing → Plan. The prepaid credit must cover at least 7 days of table fees for your current tables (at least 1 table); for example 3 tables need 3 × 100 × 7 ÷ 30 = USD 70. Top up first if it is not enough.
• Downgrade yourself to the free plan in the Console. It takes effect immediately, the day's fees still apply, and tables beyond the free quota are disabled.

Top-ups

Top-ups are made in the Console under Plan & billing → Top up only; there is no API for them:

• USDT (TRC20): each tenant has its own deposit address; the credit is added automatically once the transfer is confirmed on chain, 1 USDT = USD 1.
• Card and PayPal: offered when the platform enables them.

A receipt is emailed to the billing contact, and an account in grace or downgraded is restored automatically.

Account states

State	Meaning	Effect
FREE	Free demo plan	Demo limits apply
PAID	Paid plan with credit	Normal service
GRACE	Paid plan whose credit ran out (balance ≤ 0), in the grace period	Service continues and table fees still apply; the Console shows a red banner and reminders are emailed
DOWNGRADED	Grace period over without a top-up	Tables beyond the free quota are disabled and demo limits apply; the tables you had enabled are remembered
SUSPENDED	Suspended by the platform	Every API call returns TENANT_SUSPENDED; data is kept
CLOSED	Account closed	Same as above

All transitions are automatic:

• PAID → GRACE: the balance is ≤ 0 after a daily charge. The grace period is 3 days.
• GRACE → PAID: a top-up within the grace period makes the balance positive.
• GRACE → DOWNGRADED: the grace period ends. Tables beyond the free quota are disabled (the first ones in your Console table order are kept).
• DOWNGRADED → PAID: a top-up makes the balance positive and the tables enabled before the downgrade are re-enabled automatically.
• When the credit is ≤ 0 outside the grace period, video playback pauses (for example on the free plan once the sign-up credit is used up).

Every state change is emailed to the billing contact and sent as a webhook: account.grace, account.downgraded, account.restored. A credited top-up sends account.topup.

Low-balance alerts

On the paid plan, after each daily charge the platform estimates "balance ÷ average daily cost of the last 7 days". When it drops below 7 days (adjustable under Billing notifications in the Console), a reminder is emailed, a yellow banner appears in the Console and the webhook account.low_balance is sent (at most once a day; a billing contact email must be set).

Reading it through the API

Endpoint	Content
GET /account	Plan, state, prepaid credit, enabled tables and quota, streaming GB this month, average daily cost over 7 days, estimated days left, grace deadline
GET /account/usage?from=&to=	Table-days, streaming GB and charges for each UTC day; today shows the running total
GET /account/statements	The last 24 monthly statements (each month's statement is produced on the 1st of the next month)

We recommend subscribing to the account webhooks, or reading GET /account once a day, and alerting your operations team when daysLeft gets low or state is GRACE.
