Player Earnings

Every tier of the game has an income path. All earnings are paid in dollars and can be withdrawn at any time.

• Prize money. Every race pays its pool, less the 5% race tax, to the first three home — split 60 / 25 / 15. When twelve players fill the field, the winner collects about 6.8× their entry fee — a profit of about 5.8× — at every level, from a $5 Class VII to a $200 G1. With fewer players the pool is only what they paid in. See Race Classes & Entry Fees.
• Roll-down. A ROX Official horse has no owner to pay, so when one finishes in the money its share rolls down to the next finisher who does — in a field the house helped fill, fourth or fifth home can be paid. See Race Classes & Entry Fees.
• Stud fees. Stand a proven horse at stud and set your own fee. A stallion with a G1 record earns for seasons; even a modest winner can price its covers honestly and fill a book. See Stud Covers.
• Breeding and selling foals. Breed your mare well and sell the foal at auction. The genotype and coat rules guarantee foals from good matings hold value — supply cannot be inflated against you.
• Trading. Buy well, campaign a horse, sell it on its improved record — fixed price or auction, on ROX or external marketplaces.
• Community programmes. Referral and reward programmes come online with the mint.

The honest caveat, published up front: only three of twelve runners are paid in a race, and the nine unplaced entries fund the purse. Racing is a competition, not an annuity — the players who earn are the ones who buy, breed and place their horses well.
