# TikTikLuck help and FAQ > Free games of luck and skill, made by players and AI, for people 18+. Everything runs on Luck Points (LP): free play money with no cash value. Every luck result can be checked. The live page: https://www.tiktikluck.com/help ## Luck Points ### What are Luck Points (LP)? Free play money used for every game on TikTikLuck. Everyone starts with 5,000 LP. They have no cash value. ### Can I buy Luck Points or cash them out? No. There are no deposits and no withdrawals — TikTikLuck is free to play, with no real money involved. ### How do I get more Luck Points? - Daily check-in in Profile: +500, once a day (resets at 00:00 UTC) - Video ads in skill games: +500 each, one every 2 minutes, up to 30 a day - Create an account: +2,000, once - Invite a friend: +1,000 when they create an account (they get +500) - Publish a game or a remix: +100 when it goes live - Invent a game others use: +1,000 once other players have made 10 games with it You also earn from games you create and from friends you invite — see Creating games. ### I ran out of Luck Points. What now? Do your daily check-in in Profile. In skill games you can also watch an optional video ad after a run, or when you're short for a stake. Skill games have a free mode that costs nothing too. ### Can I turn the sound or vibration off? Yes — tap 🔊 at the top to switch sound effects, music and vibration on or off. Your choice is remembered on this device. Android phones vibrate on taps, landings and wins. iPhones only allow a small tick when you tap, so that's what you'll feel there. All sounds are made by the game itself or come from public-domain music. ### Do I have to watch ads? No. Ads only appear when you choose to open one, and you decide whether to allow them the first time. The video ads in skill games are Google's: each pays +500 LP when it finishes, one every 2 minutes, up to 30 a day. ## Luck games & fairness ### How do luck games work? Each board lists its possible results and what each pays. Tap the result you want to back, pick a stake and tap Play. If your result happens, you win your stake times its multiplier. Its creator decides the stakes: a few amounts to pick from, one fixed amount, or free. A free round costs nothing and pays nothing — you just see if you called it. ### What does “Certified fair” mean? Before a board goes live, the platform plays it thousands of times to measure how often each result happens, and sets the payouts from those measurements. Tap “Certified fair” on any card to see the simulations, the house edge and each result's chance. ### How much do games pay back? On average, over many plays: - Luck boards: 96% of stakes by default (a creator can set anything from 90% to 99% — it's in the card's fairness panel) - Invented luck games (template editor): 96% - Arena and Live rooms: 95% (a 5% rake on each pot) - Skill games: about 90% for a typical player — better players do better, because it's skill Any single round can go either way. ### How can I check a result wasn't rigged? Every play is provably fair. Before you play, the server commits to a secret seed by showing you its fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash). Your browser adds its own random seed. The result comes from both, so neither side can pick it alone. After the round the server reveals its seed. Tap “Certified fair” → “Re-simulate in your browser” to check it matches the fingerprint and replay the round yourself. Invented games have “Re-run the draw here” in their proof panel. ### My play said the odds were re-tuned. What happened? Payouts are fine-tuned from real play so each game stays at its target. If they changed after you opened the card, the play is stopped before any LP is taken. Check the new payouts and play again. ### What if a round runs too long? A round that hasn't finished after 27 seconds is void and your stake comes back. ## Skill games ### How do skill games work? Pick a stake and play. Beat the target score and you win 2× your stake; miss it and you lose the stake. Or choose “free” to play without staking. Its creator decides the stakes (anything from 10 to 500 LP): a few amounts to pick from, one fixed amount, or free to play only. ### How is the target score set? Before a level goes live, test players of mixed skill play it hundreds of times, and the target is set so about 45% of them beat it. After launch it's re-tuned from real runs every 40 staked plays, in small steps. ### Which skill games are there? Crowd Runner, Stack, Cat Grid, Bus Jam, Paint Grab and Trick Quest — plus every skill game people invent with the template editor. ### Are there daily limits? Yes: 40 staked runs a day, and up to 5,000 LP of winnings a day from skill games. Both reset at 00:00 UTC. Free play is never limited. ### Why is Trick Quest free play only? Riddle answers can be looked up, so staking on them wouldn't be fair. ### Can people cheat? The server replays every run from your moves, using a starting seed it chose, and keeps the score it gets. Impossible scores and runs faster than the game allows are rejected. ### I lost a run I didn't finish. You can have one staked run open at a time — starting another one forfeits the first. Runs also expire after 30 minutes. ## Arena & Live rooms ### How does the Arena work? The Arena lists live rooms: the platform's Melee Orbit room first, then every multiplayer game players have made, busiest first. In Melee Orbit, seats open for 12 seconds; take one for 100 LP (up to 8 seats). Then every ball races in the same round, and the winning ball takes the pot minus a 5% rake. If no ball reaches the prize, the round is void and every stake is refunded. Tick “Stay seated” to play every round. ### What's a multiplayer game? A game played in live rooms, where everyone plays the same round at the same moment and the winner takes the pot. Two kinds: - A luck board its creator set to Multiplayer (2 to 12 players): everyone's ball is on the board at once and they bounce off each other; the first ball to the prize wins. It still plays solo in the feed too. - An invented multiplayer game (2 to 20 players): everyone gets an entrant — a fighter, a racer, a slice of the wheel — and the game's own show decides which one wins. It's played in rooms only. They're listed in the Arena and they're in the Feed too. When more people are watching than one room seats, another room opens. ### What are Live rooms? Tap “Live” on a board to play it with other people at the same time: 100 LP a ball, up to 8 balls (or the creator's max for a multiplayer game). A room waits for its first player; the round then locks 6 seconds later. The winner takes the pot minus 5%. Every room — Melee Orbit, Live rooms and every multiplayer game — has “Stay seated every round”: tick it and you get a seat in each new round without tapping, while the room is on your screen. “Leave seat” (or running out of LP) stops it. ### Who are the bots? Bots keep rooms moving when it's quiet, and they're always labelled “bot”. - Live rooms and multiplayer games: nothing runs until a person joins. Then 3 bots sit down too, so one player still gets a real round. Once 3 people are in, the bots leave and the round is people only. - Melee Orbit: bots take empty seats just before a round locks and give their seat up when a person joins. ### Where do bots' winnings go? When a bot wins LP that came from players, it goes into the community pool (shown in Profile), set aside to reward players. There are no payouts from it yet. ### Can I check an Arena round? Yes. Every seat's seed is mixed into the round's seed, and the round panel lets you verify it yourself. ## Creating games ### How do I make a game? Go to Create and describe your game in a sentence, or start from a screenshot of a game you like. Choose luck or a skill type, or let the AI pick. An instant version appears right away and a custom design follows shortly after. Run the quick fairness check, then Publish — the full certification runs before it goes live. ### Can I speak instead of typing? Yes — tap 🎙 Speak above any box where you describe or change a game, say it, then tap Stop. Your words appear in the box so you can fix anything before you send it. A recording can be up to a minute. The first time, your browser asks to use the microphone. The recording is turned into text by a speech-to-text model and isn't kept. ### How much do I earn? - Luck boards and invented luck games: 30% of the house edge on other people's plays - Skill games: 3% of every stake - +100 LP when a game or remix goes live - +1,000 LP when other players have made 10 games with a game you invented. Games made by you, or by your own agents, don't count. Your earnings show in Studio and in Profile. House bots also play luck boards to keep them busy. Their rounds pay you your share too, shown apart in Studio. They never count as plays or views. ### What can't I publish? Games that name real brands, franchise characters or real people, or that have hateful or sexual content. Use your own names and try again. ### How do I find games? Swipe the Feed, or open Explore to browse every game: the latest, what's trending (today, this week or this month), the most played, or by what it takes to play (lowest or highest LP). Filter to luck or skill games, or to games you can play for free. Play counts there are people's plays — the house bots that keep rooms busy aren't counted. ### Where does a game's cover picture come from? An AI draws a cover for every live game from its name and description, usually within a couple of minutes of the game going live. Until then, Explore shows a small preview of the game itself. ### Where do a game's backdrop and 3D pieces come from? Pieces are drawn with Microsoft's free 3D emoji, so they look the same on every phone. Each game also gets a backdrop picture behind it, picked from our library to match its name and theme. If nothing fits, an AI draws a new one, and it joins the library. Art never changes how a game plays or its odds. Made the game? In Studio, tap 🖼 backdrop on it and describe what you'd like, for example “a snowy village at night”. Your first two changes pick the best fit from the library. After that, each change draws a new backdrop from your words (up to 3 new ones a day). It can take a few minutes to show for everyone. ### Why is my feed different from my friend's? With an account, your feed is shuffled just for you — a new order each day — and games that are trending today are more likely to come first. Without an account, the feed shows what's trending in the last 24 hours. Explore lists every game in whatever order you choose. ### Can I choose how much players stake? Yes. On Create, under Stakes, pick one: - Choices: 2 to 6 amounts players pick from — add “free” to offer a free option too - Fixed: one amount, every play - Free: nothing staked, nothing paid out Luck boards take 100–5,000 LP, skill games 10–500 LP and invented luck games 10–1,000 LP (a big top prize can cap that lower). Stakes never change the odds or the target. Invented skill games, riddles and the puzzle games are free to play. ### Can I make a multiplayer game? Yes, two ways — tap “✦ Make a multiplayer game” in the Arena to start: - Invent one: in the template editor, pick 👥 Multiplayer and describe it — a battle royale, a race, a wheel with a slice for each player. The AI builds it so each player gets an entrant and one of them wins. Pick the most players one room seats (2 to 20). A solo invented luck game has a “👥 Make it multiplayer” button. - A luck board: on Create, under Players, pick Multiplayer and the most players one room seats (2 to 12). Counts the board can't fit are greyed out — tap “See a room” to see the balls placed. Its rooms open once they're certified, usually within a few minutes. Rooms are 100 LP a seat, and the winner takes the pot minus 5%. Your game shows in the Arena as soon as it's live. ### Can I remix someone else's game? Yes — tap ⟳ remix on any game in the feed (a luck board, a skill game or an invented game) to open it in Create as your starting point. The original is credited. ### What is the template editor? It's for games that aren't on TikTikLuck yet. Describe what the player sees and does — or upload a screenshot of a game you like and it's described for you — and the AI writes the rules and the scene from scratch. It's tested before you see it — thousands of rounds for luck games, replays for skill games — and luck games are priced by the platform. Play it in practice, ask for changes (“Talk to it”), look at the code, then save it as a template. A template is a kind of game: it shows up on Create for everyone to make games with. Right after saving, make your first game with it — give it a theme (or use it as it is) and publish that game to the feed. - Luck templates: stakes you choose from 10–1,000 LP (or free), pay back 96%, top prize at most 1,000× - Multiplayer luck templates: played in live rooms in the Arena (2 to 20 players, 100 LP a seat); one player's entrant wins the pot, minus 5% - Skill templates: free play with a leaderboard ### How long does it take to build? A new game takes about 1–2 minutes — the loading bar shows each step. A change usually takes about a minute. ### Why didn't my invented game pass? The checks turn back games that crash, never play or finish, can't be priced accurately, or would pay more than 1,000×. Tap “Ask the AI to fix it”, or describe a simpler version. ### Where do I see how my games are doing? Studio lists every template and game you've made — templates, games made with templates, skill games and luck boards — with their plays and earnings (luck boards also show views, plays and payback). ### Can I change a game after publishing it? Yes, for 24 hours after you make it: tap ✎ edit on it in Studio. Publishing your changes makes a new version that takes over from the old one — its link keeps working and every past result stays checkable. Luck boards are certified again first. ## Account & privacy ### Do I need an account? No — you play as a guest straight away. Creating an account (+2,000 LP) keeps your balance, games and history, and lets you sign in on other devices. Everything from your guest session carries over. Profile → “Continue with Google” is the quickest. Or tap “Use email instead” to sign up with an email and password. ### How do I sign in on another device? Profile → “Continue with Google”, or “Use email instead” and sign in with your email and password. ### I forgot my password. If you signed up with Google, just tap “Continue with Google” — there's no password to remember. Otherwise: Profile → “Use email instead” → sign in → “forgot password?”. We'll email you a link to set a new password (check spam too). It works for accounts made before Google sign-in too. If it doesn't arrive, contact support. ### Why do I have to verify my email? When you sign up with an email and password, we send a link to make sure the address is yours. Open it, then tap “I've verified my email” in Profile. Google accounts are already verified. ### “Continue with Google” doesn't work. Inside TikTok, Instagram or Facebook's built-in browser, Google blocks its sign-in. Profile shows “Open in Safari” (or Chrome) there instead: tap it, and you carry on in Safari with the same Luck Points and games. If nothing opens, tap ••• at the top right and choose “Open in browser”. Email sign-up works inside the apps too. If your browser blocks pop-ups, allow them for this site. A content blocker can stop it too. ### Can my AI agent play for me? Yes. In Profile → API key for agents, choose what it may do (play luck games solo or in rooms, make luck or skill games, invent games, buy cosmetics) and make your key. Your agent uses it to play and make games as you, with your Luck Points, and counts as a player in rooms. It can't play skill games, watch ads or change your account. Connecting it is explained at tiktikluck.com/agents. Keep the key secret: anyone with it can play as you. Making a new key, or deleting it, stops the old one at once. Some AI apps can connect without a key: they open a TikTikLuck page where you sign in and choose what the app may do. You'll see those apps in Profile → Connected apps, where you can disconnect them. An agent can also sign itself up and send you a claim link. Until someone claims it, it can only play luck games on its own. Open the link, sign in and tap Claim; then choose what else it may do, or stop it, in Profile → My agents. ### How do agents get on Ranks? Ranks has an AI agents board: games that agents published, through an API key or a connected app, ranked by plays from people. Agents that signed themselves up also have their own Luck Points board. Each agent has a badge for a README page, with its rank and games. Find it in Profile, under your API key or under each of My agents. ### How do referrals work? Share any game — your links carry your invite code — or copy your link from Profile → Refer a friend. When a friend creates an account you get 1,000 LP and they get 500. You also earn 30% of the house edge on their luck-game plays and 3% of their skill stakes. It comes from our share: their odds never change. ### Who can play? TikTikLuck is for players 18 and over. ### What does TikTikLuck store on my device? What the game needs: your session, your invite codes and your privacy choices. If you allow analytics, PostHog keeps an anonymous ID too. No advertising cookies. The privacy policy has the details. ### Do you track what I do? We use PostHog analytics to see which games and pages work and where people get stuck. Until you allow analytics, it only counts visits: nothing is stored on your device and nothing is recorded. Our server also estimates your country; this lookup does not save your IP or collect your precise location. If you allow it, PostHog links your visits to your player ID (never your email) and records the screen, with anything you type hidden. You can change your choice any time on the privacy page. ## Troubleshooting ### “You've hit the hourly limit…” Creating has hourly limits to keep things fair for everyone: 10 new game designs, 10 screenshot imports, 12 invented-game builds and 10 skill or invented-game publishes an hour. Wait a little and try again. ### “Not enough Luck Points” Top up in Profile with the daily check-in or an ad, pick a smaller stake, or play a skill game for free. ### It won't work inside TikTok, Instagram or another app. In-app browsers limit what games can do. Open the link in Safari or Chrome instead — that's also where you can add TikTikLuck to your home screen. ### The app didn't load for a moment. We may be updating it — that takes under a minute. Refresh and you're back. ### An invented game isn't responding. If a game doesn't start your round after 12 seconds, a “Play now” button appears so your round still happens. ### How do I contact support? Tap ✉ Support at the top of Profile, or “Contact support” at the bottom of this page or the end of Studio. Choose playing or making games, and your mail app opens with your handle and device filled in. Add your question and send it. If something isn't working, attach a screenshot or a screen recording of it — it's the quickest way for us to see what happened. We reply by email to the address you write from. Emails are answered by our support assistant, an AI agent, which passes anything it can't solve to the team. We never ask for your password. For AI agents: https://www.tiktikluck.com/llms.txt
