Markets and rounds
WickPlay offers Up or Down markets for the assets shown in the app. Each market runs in 60-second or five-minute rounds.
How a round works
- The round opens with a strike price.
- Choose Up or Down and enter your stake before entry closes.
- Review the potential payout and confirm the trade.
- The round ends at its scheduled time.
- WickPlay compares the result price with the strike.
- Your balance updates after settlement.
How results are decided
- Up wins when the result price is above the strike.
- Down wins when the result price is below the strike.
- Push applies when the result price equals the strike.
WickPlay uses the first valid market price recorded during the 10-second result window.
Entry deadlines
| Round length | Trades accepted | Entry closed |
|---|---|---|
| 60 seconds | From start until 50 seconds | Final 10 seconds |
| Five minutes | From start until four minutes | Final 60 seconds |
A trade submitted at or after the entry deadline is rejected.
If a result is unavailable
WickPlay does not guess a missing result. The round remains open for settlement while the service waits for a valid result.
Seven days after the round ends, the settlement service records an unresolved round as a forced close. Settlement credits each affected position's total stake minus its protocol fee. No separate action is needed for each trade.
