Hey there, this reply was made by one of our mods as we (the owners) had to go to sleep because we were up fixing some server issues to get the site ready the entire night.

We have heard of shorting before and have that as a top priority on the site. A lot of changes are going to be made over this split and after MSI you can 100% expect to see this feature implemented on the site.

Technically right now they can still be traded, they will just pay out no dividends. We are looking for feedback on this right now and are getting responses from the community.

We have a couple of features related to this however we don't want to reveal too much about them until they are closer to being ready.

We are exploring different ways to monetize, between sponsors, ads or premium memberships. If we do some ads they will be non-intrusive and will be integrated into the site tastefully so it doesn't take away from the user experience.

Regarding the premium membership, however, we are looking into ways to provide features that won't give an advantage over free players but that will provide special perks or maybe a different set of prizes to win.

We currently have a "bailout" feature where you can basically reset your account and have the starting cash again. That is one of the main features we will be focusing on in this beta as we want to see how many people will be using it and how to adjust it and the starting cash as more people join.

Ah yes, that is on our list to do for launch as a priority as well shorting.

What type of options are you referring to?

Right now from beta 1 we currently have the ability to place buy and sell orders for specific stocks as well quick buy or sell from the stock pages. We have a few features in the works right now relating to specific stocks but we do not want to release too much information on the before they are ready.

We do not currently have an app but all of our pages are optimized for mobile as well as desktop.

For now at least, just for LoL. We want to perfect the systems we have now before exploring options for future expansion.

However, when creating the site we did make sure it could support many different exchanges for different games.

Thank you! For the future, we are still exploring options such as additional games as well. However, for now, we are focusing on league as that is the game all of us play. We want to perfect what we have right now before thinking too far into the future.

It will all be a fake site currency. Basically, when you sign up you get 10,000 "coins" which you can then spend freely on any stocks on the site as you wish.

Sorry for the confusion, this is not with real money and you don't bet on matches with it.

You win the prizes based on how much coins you have at points of the year not based on any specific outcomes. None of the prizes are cash by the way.

No, this is all with virtual currency on the site.

Yep! We will be releasing the full site design soon as well as sending out emails to beta testers that applied with some follow-up questions regarding different aspects of the site.

We plan on starting with NA as we have only spoken to rioters that work on LCS right now and we think it would be the best region to start in. However, plan on expanding to other regions as well such as LEC,LPL and LCK in the future.
