Kill The Bot: more rounds a day and shared rewards

We have rebalanced Kill The Bot from the ground up. The two most important changes are about who gets rewarded, and who gets to take part.

The biggest news is that rewards are now shared by damage. Both the kill EXP and the loot you take from the bot are split among everyone who damaged it, in proportion to how much damage each player dealt. Previously everything went to whoever landed the final blow, even when others had done most of the work. Now you are paid for your effort even when someone else takes the last shot, and you can see your own share in the kill message, in the chat and in your log.

Each round can also have its own rank range. That means lower-rank players can get rounds of their own where they no longer have to compete against the top players, while the high ranks have theirs. If you fall outside a round's rank range, you still see the bot and the chat, but you are told which ranks the round is reserved for.

On top of that, we can now run several rounds back to back on the same day, each with its own bot, prize and EXP. On the Kill The Bot page and in the FAQ you will find the list of scheduled Kill The Bot rounds with one row per round and its own Rank column, so you can quickly see which round suits you.

Check the schedule, find the round that matches your rank, and join the hunt.

The new Fight club: live fights, leagues and weekly prizes

Fight club has been rebuilt from the ground up. Where the fighter's level used to decide every fight, you now build your own fighter, watch the fights live and compete for weekly prizes across three leagues.

Your fighter now has a build of five attributes: Strength, Defense, Stamina, Agility and Technique. With a maximum of 20 points nobody can be the best at everything, so you have to choose what your fighter is good at. You also pick one of six specialties, each with its own special attack and an edge over one of the others, like rock, paper, scissors. The fight plays out live with health, stamina, a fight log and sound. A stronger build wins more often, but form on the day and critical hits mean no fight is decided in advance.

Points are unlocked with XP from training and fights. A new fighter starts with 5 points and reaches the full build at level 16, which takes a typical active player about three weeks. You can train 18 times a day, and the first 6 sessions are rested and give double XP. A new day starts at midnight, and you lose nothing by taking a break. Your level also shows as a belt, from white to black and on to Grandmaster. Beyond the full build, new levels only earn new belts and never more fighting strength, so a new player can always catch up with a veteran. The club's sparring partners adapt to your level, so you get an even fight however far you have come, and fighters with few points are protected from challengers who are far stronger.

Everyone starts at 500 rating and climbs from Amateur to Pro (from 580) and Master (from 700). Every Friday at 20:00 the top three in each league receive a weekly prize straight into their bank. First place pays €6 million in Amateur, €15 million in Pro and €30 million in Master, and each league winner also gets a Fight club crate. To qualify you need at least 5 fights in the last 7 days, and at most 2 fights against the same opponent count. If you lose a fight you were challenged to, you can press "Take revenge" and lay yourself out again with the same stake, reserved for that opponent for 24 hours.

Because strength now comes from the build, every fighter starts over at 500 rating with 0 wins and 0 losses. If you already had a fighter, you keep its nickname, and your old level and wins are shown as a veteran line on the fighter card. Veterans get a small head start: a fighter that was level 100 or higher starts at level 5, and one that was level 25 or higher starts at level 3. Any stake you had laid out when the new version arrived has been refunded. The first time you open Fight club, you pick a specialty and place your points.

You will find Fight club in the menu, and all the rules are in the FAQ.

Wide layout is now available as a beta

We have launched the wide layout, a new setting that makes the game window 200 pixels wider and gives you more room for everything you do in the game.

All of the extra width goes to the middle column, where the game's pages are shown. When the wide layout is on, the top header and the banners inside the game switch to their own wide images that fill the new space. A few pages with a fixed width, such as Blackjack, keep their usual size and stay centered.

The wide layout is off by default. You can turn it on under Settings › Appearance. If you prefer the standard width, you can turn the wide layout off again at any time.

If you are a gold member, you can also add a separate wide background for your profile under Edit profile. It is shown to players who use the wide layout, where your profile is wider. If you leave the field empty, your regular background is used there as well.

This is a beta, so some things may still look a little off. If you find bugs or have opinions about the images, the top headers or anything else, please let us know in Support. We will keep rolling out improvements as we go.

We look forward to hearing what you think.

Streak insurance and streak repair are now live

Until now your online streak has been all or nothing. Miss a single day and the whole streak was gone overnight. You can now protect your streak in advance and buy it back if it breaks.

Streak insurance is available in the Points trade for 15 points each, and you can have up to 2 equipped at a time. If you forget to log in one day, one insurance is used automatically and your streak survives the night. You get a message in your log when that happens, and a used insurance has to be bought again.

If a streak of 7 days or more breaks because you were not logged in, you get an offer to repair it for 50 points. The offer lasts 48 hours. It shows up as a banner at the top of the page, as a broken heart in the right-hand menu and on My page. Days you have built up again after the break are kept when you repair, and your achievement progress updates automatically. Two insurances cost less than one repair, so it pays to be prepared.

You can also get an evening warning when you have not logged in that day and your streak is about to break at midnight. Turn on Push notifications under Settings, and send a test notification to check that it works. On iPhone and iPad you first need to add the game to your home screen.

The warning is on automatically from a 30-day streak, and you can set "Warn me when my streak is at risk" to Automatic, On or Off. Push notifications also cover tournaments you are registered in for Texas Hold'em.

Everything about insurance, repair and the warning is covered in the online streak section of the FAQ. Head over to the Points trade and secure your streak today.

Become an airport owner and earn on every flight

Every city's airport can now be owned by a player, and as the owner you earn a share of the ticket price on every flight departing from your city. Ownership is won at auction, just as before, and once the airport is yours it pays out for as long as people keep flying.

The share is taken from the ticket price travellers already pay, so it costs them nothing extra. The airport has three levels: you start at 10 % of the ticket price and can upgrade to 15 % (requires Captain) and 20 % (requires Godfather). Revenue builds up at the airport and is withdrawn on the new owner page, where you also track flight and revenue statistics. As the owner, you fly at a 50 % discount from your own city. The discount is shown directly in the route picker, and you earn no share of your own tickets.

You can hire up to three customs officers. Each officer adds a 25 % chance that drugs are seized from travellers caught on the way into your city, for up to 75 % with a full team. You can sell the seized goods on at market value, and the traveller who got caught is told in the prison message that your customs officers took the haul. Officers wear down over time and eventually retire, so you will need replacements to keep the seizure rate up.

The owner page also includes a travel log that updates live and shows who has flown out of your city. But travellers are not defenceless: anyone using counter-surveillance agents only shows up in the log after a few minutes, and the new Fake Passport crate swaps your name for another player's in the log for 15 minutes. While the passport is active it appears as its own badge in the menu. Fake Passport can drop from ordinary crates, or be bought directly for 25 points in the new Direct crate purchase section on the crates page.

The travel page has been refreshed at the same time, with a dedicated Private plane tab, an overview of who owns the airport in each city, and a "Manage your airport" button for owners. Secure an airport at the next auction and turn every departure into income.

Job opening: Beta-Tester (round 2)

About the role

This is the second application round for the beta-tester role, and we are still accepting new applications.

A beta tester is a player with insight.

Are you curious about technology and do you enjoy exploring new features before everyone else? Do you notice the small details and bugs that others overlook? Then this could be the role for you.

As a beta tester you actively contribute to the ongoing development of the game through testing, observation and constructive feedback.

We are looking for someone who:
- Has a genuine interest in technology and likes to understand how things work
- Is detail-oriented and good at spotting bugs and opportunities for improvement
- Is analytical and precise, and gives constructive feedback
- Has technical understanding: experience with testing is an advantage, but not a requirement

You don't have to be an expert. Curiosity, commitment and the ability to give good feedback matter most.

What we offer
- Free Gold membership with access to exclusive features
- The chance to test new features on a closed test server before they reach the rest of the player base
- Direct influence on development through our task system in Trello
- Valuable experience with testing and development processes
- Recognition for your work and a unique opportunity to shape the final product
- Room to grow within the team, with roles such as forum moderator, moderator or other areas of responsibility

What we are testing before launch

Several larger features are in testing before they open up for everyone. If you join, this is some of what you will help test early:
- Fight Club: a brand-new arena where you build a fighter, watch the matches simulated live and climb the rankings with dedicated leagues and weekly prizes.
- Scratch Cards: two brand-new tickets where you scratch the symbols yourself, with prizes reaching all the way into the billions.
- Kill The Bot: several contests a day, each with its own bot, prize and rank bracket, so both new and experienced players get their shot.
- Your own airport: own an airport and earn from other players' flights.
- New detective crates: Trace Scout, which reveals who has been snooping on you in the last 24 hours, and Shadow for those who want to stay hidden.
- Avatar flair: a ring, halo or rotating edge around your avatar, shown everywhere your avatar appears.
- Streak tools: repair and insure your online streak, with a warning before it breaks.

Responsibilities

You contribute to the ongoing development of the game through active testing and constructive feedback. Testing takes place on dedicated test servers, and tasks, findings and improvement suggestions are handled in our Trello system. The role tests the game as a regular player and has no administrative rights.

Requirements
- You attend mandatory meetings and let us know before the meeting starts if you cannot make it
- You contribute regularly with testing and keep a steady level of activity
- You respond to a tag/ping within 24 hours and let us know if you are unavailable
- You are comfortable with direct, factual feedback as part of quality assurance
- You are reliable and let us know if your capacity changes

The role suits people who want to contribute actively in a small team where each member has a clear impact on progress and quality.

Application deadline: 01.10.2026 12:00

New Portfolio tab shows your Crypto profit and loss

Crypto Trading just got a major upgrade. The new Portfolio tab gives you a complete picture of how your investments are doing, something the wallet never showed before.

At the top of the Portfolio tab you get four key figures: total value, unrealized P/L on what you still hold, realized P/L (after tax) on what you have sold, and the sum of the two, each with a percentage. Below that sits an asset-allocation chart, a holdings table showing cost basis, average buy price, current price and value for every currency, and a list of your most recent transactions.

Cost basis is calculated with the average-cost method, so the result stays correct even when you buy the same currency several times at different prices and sell part of it. Realized P/L is shown after the withdrawal tax, so the number reflects what you actually keep. To check any figure, "View full transaction history" opens a complete, paginated list of every buy, sell, exchange and crate payout.

The Charts tab now features live charts from TradingView. Pick a coin with a single click and the chart switches in place, or open it straight in TradingView. Navigation has been cleaned up too: the full tab bar is visible on every Crypto page, and the Market overview on the front page is now a table you can sort by currency, price and change. Prices update on their own as they move.

Open Crypto Trading and see where your portfolio stands.

Tenex steps down as beta tester

Tenex has decided to step down as a beta tester due to personal reasons, as well as a lack of time and capacity.

He joined the beta team on 31.03.2026 and completed an impressive 260 test checkpoints during his tenure.

We thank Tenex for his valuable contribution and for being a punctual, objective, critical, analytical, balanced and constructive member of the team.

Thank you for your efforts, Tenex!
