What blockchain is ITG minted on?
In The Game NFTs are minted on ERC-721 compliant contracts deployed to the Ethereum blockchain.
This is recognised as the "gold standard" and most widely-supported format for digital collectibles.
What if my player retires?
When a player retires or moves to a lower-level league not listed as a scoring league by In The Game, payouts will stop, however all tokens will continue as a collectible.
If a retired player becomes a Manager later in his career, he will not be eligible for Manager payouts. A Manager token only will accrue Manager points.
Who pays the gas fees on Payouts?
Managers are responsible for payment of gas fees at each payout window.
Payouts will therefore only be made to wallets with balances owing that exceed the relevant gas fees. If an individual wallet payout is below the prevailing Gas price for transfer, the Payouts for those tokens will be burned.
We will do our best to transact when Gas Fees are low, however Gas fees are volatile and not in the control of In The Game and we accept no liability for movements in gas fees which limit the payout to any given Manager wallet.
