Should I start in live mode immediately?

Most users should begin in demo mode, then transition to live with small fixed stakes after understanding timing and settlement behavior.

What is the most important setup step?

Wallet security. Keep recovery material offline and never share seed phrases or private keys under any circumstances.

How much SOL should I fund first?

Start with a small test amount that you are comfortable risking while learning timing and settlement behavior.

Do I need to understand gas or advanced blockchain settings?

No advanced knowledge is required to start. You mainly need a secure wallet, a funded balance, and clear session limits.

How do I reduce operational mistakes as a beginner?

Use a pre-session checklist: confirm wallet, confirm network, confirm stake size, and avoid changing rules mid-session.

Where do I go after wallet setup is complete?

After setup, open live markets, choose one mode, and follow small fixed-size rounds while reviewing outcomes after each session.

Is Rush Sports custodial?

No. Rush Sports is designed as a non-custodial product. Session flows are used for speed, but settlement and balances are handled through on-chain program logic.

What happens during stale-data periods?

If live price data is stale or unavailable, prediction placement can be restricted and affected rounds can be canceled according to settlement safeguards.

Can I use demo mode before betting real SOL?

Yes. Demo mode is intended for practice and does not require wallet funding, while live mode requires a funded session for real predictions.

Where can I verify game outcomes and settlements?

Outcomes and settlements are processed with on-chain records, and supporting interfaces are available in app views such as match history and leaderboard context.

How to Bet with Solana: Step-by-Step

New to Solana betting? Follow this quick setup guide to move from wallet creation to your first live prediction on Rush Sports.

1) Set Up a Solana Wallet

Install a Wallet Standard-compatible wallet such as Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack. Secure your recovery phrase and enable any account security options your wallet provides.

2) Fund with SOL

Deposit SOL into your wallet. You need enough for both predictions and transaction fees. Start small while you learn market timing and round mechanics.

3) Connect and Create a Session

Connect your wallet on Rush Sports and fund a session balance. Sessions let you place predictions quickly without approving every action in a popup.

4) Pick a Market and Mode

Open a live market, then choose Tap 2 Predict for 30-second target windows or Up/Down for 1-minute directional rounds. Review stake size, confirm your choice, and track settlement in real time.

5) Manage Risk and Review Results

Keep a clear bankroll plan, avoid over-sizing during volatile periods, and use leaderboard and history views to evaluate performance. Play responsibly and only stake what you can afford to lose.
