Daily distribution mechanics:
- Qualification. Place at least one real-money bet from your own NFT aircraft during the day.
- Random selection (25%). The following day, exactly 25% of all NFT aircraft that were active are selected at random and qualify for a cash prize.
- XP-weighted payout. The day's pool is divided among those winners in proportion to their aircraft's XP.
A worked example. Suppose eight players were active with their own NFT aircraft and the day's pool is €100. Twenty-five per cent qualify, so two players win. Aircraft A holds 300 XP and Aircraft B holds 700 XP, so combined XP is 1,000. Aircraft A receives 300/1,000 = 30%, or €30. Aircraft B receives 700/1,000 = 70%, or €70.
Scaled to the live tournament. With roughly 40,000 players active daily and a €1.5m seasonal pool, the average daily pool is approximately €17,000, shared among about 10,000 winning aircraft according to XP weight. Average payouts are therefore small by design. The mechanism functions as XP-weighted cashback and retention, not as a jackpot substitute. Reading it as an income stream is a category error; reading it as a modest rebate on turnover is accurate.
Timing and loyalty progression. You can join at any point in a season. XP is not reset by joining late, and daily pools are independent of the start date, so mid-season entry carries no structural disadvantage. The leaderboard and rarity tiers form the loyalty layer of the aviatrix experience: visible, repeatable, and deliberately habit-forming. Worth naming that plainly, because a reward signal that keeps firing during losing sessions is exactly the kind of design that makes session limits useful.
