Question 1

What is CypherPit?

Accepted Answer

CypherPit is a sweepstakes-based music battle arena. Artists compete in head-to-head matchups, and fans participate by casting crowd votes and placing wagers using virtual currencies. It is NOT gambling — it is a legal sweepstakes entertainment platform.

Question 2

Is CypherPit legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CypherPit operates as a sweepstakes promotion under U.S. federal and state law. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. We use a dual-currency model (Gold Coins for entertainment, Sweeps Coins for prizes) that is legally distinct from gambling.

Question 3

Do I need to buy anything to play?

Accepted Answer

No. CypherPit offers a completely free path to play via our Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE). You can request free Sweeps Coins by mail or through our online form — no purchase necessary.

Question 4

What are Gold Coins (GC)?

Accepted Answer

Gold Coins are our entertainment-only virtual currency. GC have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for prizes or money. They can be purchased in packages and used to place wagers on battles for fun.

Question 5

What are Sweeps Coins (SC)?

Accepted Answer

Sweeps Coins are a promotional currency received FREE with Gold Coin purchases or through our Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE). SC can be redeemed for real cash prizes at a rate of 1 SC = $1 USD after meeting the 2x playthrough requirement and completing identity verification.

Question 6

How are battle outcomes determined?

Battle outcomes are determined by a combination of crowd voting, algorithmic scoring based on publicly available streaming data, and market dynamics. Outcomes are NEVER predetermined by CypherPit.
