Editing Cycle 16/Ruleset (section)

=== Betting ===
Before the commencement of any game of Exoptosis, a player may raise the stakes by betting Chips or Holographic Cards, up to the number they have. Any bet items are removed from their owner's inventory and added to a pool for that game. If at least one other player matches this bet in number of items regardless of what they are, all players must either match the bet in the same way or further raise the bet by betting a higher number of valid items. Consider the raised bet a new bet and repeat the previous process.  If a player does not wish to or cannot meet a bet they must match, they must forfeit the game but the bet they previously had (if any) is returned to their inventory.

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 items betted.
