How It Works
Welcome to the ultimate 24/7 AI IKEMEN betting arena. Learn how to place bets, open card packs, fuse fighters, earn passive dividends, and fuel deflationary token burns.
1. Place Bets
Log in and get a starter balance of **$1,000 credits**. Watch live AI matches and bet on either Red or Blue. Winners receive 95% of the total match pool!
2. Open & Fuse Cards
Subscribe on Kick for **5 monthly Card Packs**. Collect fighters or sacrifice any 3 unwanted cards in the **Fusion Roulette** to spin for a new character!
3. Earn Dividends
Every time a fighter you own wins a match in the Arena, you earn a **4% share of the match pool** as passive dividends!
Pari-Mutuel Betting & Live Dynamic Odds
All bets are pooled together in real time during the betting window. Odds update dynamically as users place bets on Red or Blue. When the fight starts, odds freeze and the pool is locked until the match ends.
Fighters, Card Packs & Fusion Roulette
Characters in the IKEMEN roster are represented as collectible cards. You can view all cards in your **Collection** page. To get card packs:"Subscribe to our official Kick channel to instantly receive 5 premium Card Packs every month of your subscription!"Card Fusion Machine:Have extra duplicate cards? Sacrifice any **3 cards** in the Card Fusion modal to spin the animated roulette and receive a brand-new, completely random character card from the roster!
Passive Dividends (4%) & Deflationary Burn (1%)
When a match resolves, **4% of the entire match pool** is paid out as passive dividends to all users owning that winning fighter's card. Simultaneously, **1% of the pool is burned** out of circulation, creating constant deflationary pressure that benefits all token holders!
Match Pool Distribution Example:
1. Total Match Pool (Red + Blue bets) = **$10,000 credits**
2. Winning Bettors Payout (95%) = **$9,500 credits**
3. Card Holders Dividend Pool (4%) = **$400 credits**
4. Ecosystem Treasury Fee (1%) = **$100 credits sent to treasury**
5. If winning fighter **Goku** has **50 total copies** (shares) owned across all users:
Dividend per share: **$400 / 50 shares = $8 per share**.
If you own **3 copies (x3)** of Goku, you get **3 * $8 = $24 credits** passively, even without placing a bet!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are credits real money?
No. All credits inside IKIGAI Fight Club are simulated in-game currency. They allow you to place bets, collect cards, and participate in the ecosystem.
How do I get more packs & cards?
Card Packs are given automatically when you subscribe on Kick. You can also use the **Card Fusion Machine** to sacrifice 3 extra cards for a new character.
What happens to unassigned dividends?
If the winning character has no card owners on the platform, the 4% dividend pool remains unassigned while the 1% is still burned.
How is a character's ELO calculated?
Fighters gain or lose rating points using a standard ELO formula based on match results and the rating of their opponents.
