Editing Cycle 16/Ruleset Draft (section)

=== Betting ===
Before the commencement of any game of Exoptosis, a player may raise the stakes by betting Chips, up to the number they have. Any bet chips are removed from their owner's inventory and added to a pool for that game. If at least one other player matches this bet, all players must either match or further raise the bet (then all players must match this new bet). If a player does not wish to or cannot meet a bet, they must forfeit the game (but lose no Chips).

If no players match a bet, the raised bet is refunded and the bet restored to the previous amount (or zero). This bet is final and the game then begins immediately.

The winner of the game gains all Chips betted.
