Ranking System

Thunderpick Ranks is a ranking system developed to distinguish and reward users accordingly to their activity. It comprises 5 tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Challenger.

Each tier from Bronze to Diamond is divided into five divisions, depicted by a roman numeral between V (5 being the lowest) and I (1 being the highest) which indicate the activity level of players.

Based on your current rank, you are eligible for various benefits and perks that come in form of prizes, giveaways, lower fees and more.

The Challenger tier (which has one division only) is the highest tier in the ranking system and consists of the 10 most active players on Thunderpick. Every 24 hours the top 10 players will be promoted to the Challenger rank, while placing lower will result in a demotion.

As players place their bets, play games or complete various tasks, they gain Rank Points, also known as RP. The amount of RP gained varies from task to task, but when it comes to betting you earn 1 RP for every coin you bet (for example, if you have placed a 500 coins bet, you will automatically gain 500 Rank Points).

Everyone’s rank is updated in real-time (with exclusion of Challenger rank, which is recalculated daily) and depends on the amount of Rank Points accumulated throughout last 30 days.
