As of September 25th, mining rewards are now classified as Play-Through Sats for all users. Play-Through Sats are "locked" and cannot be withdrawn until they are used in games, tournaments, or predictions to convert them into Redeemable Sats.

Understanding Play-Through Sats vs. Redeemable Sats

Your balance on Ember is divided into two categories: Play-Through Sats and Redeemable Sats. To view this split, simply tap on your Satoshi rewards wallet, where you’ll see how your balance is distributed between these two types.

  • Play-Through Sats: All Sats earned through mining are considered Play-Through Sats. These cannot be withdrawn immediately and must first be used in one of Ember's games, tournaments, or predictions to be converted into Redeemable Sats.

  • Redeemable Sats: Sats earned through task providers like Adgem or adjoe are automatically Redeemable Sats and can be withdrawn without needing to meet any play-through requirements.


How to Convert Play-Through Sats to Redeemable Sats

To unlock your Play-Through Sats for withdrawal, you need to wager them in one of Ember's many games. As you play and win, the Sats you earn will be converted to Redeemable Sats. However, it’s important to note that games have different contribution rates, which affect how quickly you can meet the play-through requirement.


Contribution Rates

Here’s a breakdown of how different games contribute towards fulfilling your play-through requirement:

  • 100% Contribution Rate:

    • Paid Tournaments

    • Paid Predictions

For these games, every dollar you wager will fully count toward your play-through requirement. Any winnings from these games will immediately become Redeemable Sats.

  • 20% Contribution Rate:

    • Mines

    • Plinko

    • Spinner

    • Crash

    • Dice

For these games, only 20% of your wager will count toward your play-through requirement. For example, if you wager $100, only $20 will count toward unlocking Redeemable Sats.


Recap: How to Unlock Your Sats

To convert Play-Through Sats to Redeemable Sats, you must meet the play-through requirement by wagering your Play-Through Sats in eligible games. Keep in mind that different games have varying contribution rates, which will affect how quickly you can meet this requirement.
