Pickline points are a free scoring currency. You cannot buy them, sell them, gift them, or cash them out. They have no cash value inside or outside the app.

Points only come from free actions: a sign-up bonus of 1000 points, daily check-in (base 20 points, plus a streak bonus of +5 per consecutive day up to a 30-point streak cap), one-time tasks, and prediction settlement. There is no shop, deposit, or withdrawal.

Pickline covers League of Legends, Honor of Kings, Arena of Valor, Dota 2, CS2, Valorant, and Mobile Legends. Every game uses the same staked fixed-odds mode: stake points, lock decimal odds when you save, and settle at those odds.

Every series opens series winner, exact score (when best-of is greater than 1), and per-game map winners. First-blood markets are offered only for games where we can auto-settle them — Honor of Kings currently has no first-blood market (no reliable data feed yet).

• Series winner — pick which team wins the series.
• Exact score — pick the final map count (for example 3–1).
• Map 1…N winner — pick which team wins that map. Maps beyond the series length are voided.
• Map 1…N first blood — pick which team draws first blood on that map (not offered for Honor of Kings). Unplayed maps void; missing first-blood results can void later (see Voids).

When you save a pick, the decimal odds shown for that option are locked on your bet. Opening odds come from team strength ratings (Elo) built from historical results; as people stake, odds blend toward the stake share (weight falls as the pool grows). The book keeps about a 10% house margin so implied probabilities sum near 1/0.9, clamps odds between 1.05 and 15, and limits how far a single bet can move a price. If the price moved while you were confirming, the app asks you to re-check (odds changed) before saving again. Wrong picks are not refunded; voids work as before.

A win pays round(stake × locked odds), which already includes your stake. A miss pays 0 — wrong picks are never refunded, even if nobody else picked the winner or there was no opposing stake. Unclaimed money stays with the platform. When locked-odds payouts exceed the stakes collected, the platform covers the shortfall.

Each market requires a whole-number stake between 10 and 250 points.

You can place or edit picks until 5 minutes before the scheduled start. Picks also lock immediately if the match is detected as live or a score appears. After lock, stakes stay until settlement or a valid void.

Stakes are refunded only when a market is voided: an unplayed map (series ended earlier), first blood still missing 48 hours after the series settled, or the whole match is cancelled. Wrong settled picks are never refunded.

After a match ends, series markets (winner, exact score, per-map winner) usually settle automatically from Liquipedia. First blood is entered by an admin; if it is still open after the void window, it auto-voids and refunds. Admins can reopen a settled match and settle again — prior credits are reversed (balances may go negative) and new results apply.

The points board ranks by current platform balance. The win-rate board ranks by correct ÷ (correct + wrong) among settled non-void picks. Voids do not count. You need at least 10 settled picks to appear. Filters: this week (Monday UTC), this calendar month (UTC), or all time, plus an optional per-game filter.

One account per email. Check-in is once per local calendar day. Check-in and picks are rate-limited; hitting a limit does not spend points.
