Stakes and XP at risk

How a stake works

1. 1

   Step 1: Open Stakes in Climb

   It's opt-in. Nothing is staked unless you choose to.

2. 2

   Step 2: Enter an amount

   Any whole number up to the Week XP you earned last week. There's no suggested amount.

3. 3

   Step 3: Confirm and place it

   You can undo it for 24 hours.

4. 4

   Step 4: It settles once, at the weekly close

   Earn at least as much Week XP as last week and you get the stake back as a bonus. Otherwise you lose that much Week XP, never going below 0.

XP at risk

One meter on Today and in Climb shows how much Week XP is at risk this week. If nothing is, it says so.

Penalties

• Penalties only touch Week XP, never Lifetime XP or your level.
• Penalties other than stakes are capped at 25% of the Week XP you earned that week.
• Before a follow-up goes rusty, you get a warning day.
• Every penalty can be appealed for 7 days.
• We never send push notifications about penalties.
