Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the exchange.
Is Fandaq gambling?
No. Fandaq uses virtual currency (FanBucks) only. No real money can be deposited, wagered, won, or lost. It's a market game of skill.
What am I actually trading?
Play-money shares of players and teams across eight leagues (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, Premier League, La Liga, Champions League, and IPL cricket). Each asset has a FanBuck market price; it is not a security and has no cash value.
How do prices work?
Two forces set every price. FanBuck trading moves it — buying pushes the price up, selling pushes it down, and bigger orders move it more. Underneath, each asset has a performance-based reference value, and the market price steadily drifts toward the latest available value over time.
What is "fair value"?
A performance-driven reference estimate built from the sources and components listed on the asset page. It is a game input, not a financial valuation. The Exchange warns when the fundamentals feed is stale.
How do I start and how do I earn FanBucks?
Every account starts with ƒ1,000. You grow it the only honest way — buying low and selling high. Sell a position for more than you paid and the profit is yours.
What do the leaderboard rankings mean?
Traders are ranked by net worth: cash plus the live market value of every position. Realized profit and win streaks are shown alongside.
Do prices change when games are played?
Only after the fundamentals feed refreshes. A completed game does not directly change a price; updated performance inputs change the reference value, which then pulls the FanBuck market price over time. The Exchange shows when that feed is stale.
Can I sell whenever I want?
Yes. The exchange always quotes a price, so you can close any position at any time at the live market price. Selling moves the price down the same way buying moves it up.
