Skill vs. Chance Disclosure

It is important for players to understand the nature of the games they are playing. ArenaOne offers both skill-based and chance-based games.

1. Skill-Based Games

In these games, the outcome is determined primarily by the player's physical or mental skills, rather than by chance.

Anagram & Spellout

Dominant Factor: Skill

  • Requires vocabulary knowledge, speed, and pattern recognition.
  • Better players will consistently win over time.
  • Random elements (letter distribution) are equalized or minimized to ensure fairness.

Battleship

Dominant Factor: Strategic Skill

  • Requires logical deduction, strategy, and psychological prediction.
  • While there is an element of luck in initial guesses, skilled players use probability and patterns to win.

2. Chance-Based Games

In these games, the outcome is determined primarily by a randomizing device or element of chance.

Coin Flip

Dominant Factor: Chance (100%)

  • The outcome is purely random (50/50).
  • No amount of skill can influence the result.

Rock-Paper-Scissors

Dominant Factor: Chance & Psychology

  • While there is a psychological element, it is largely considered a game of chance in many jurisdictions.

3. Legal Disclaimer

Users are responsible for knowing their local laws.

Laws regarding skill-based gaming and games of chance vary significantly by jurisdiction (state, country, or province).

  • Some jurisdictions allow skill gaming but prohibit games of chance.
  • Some prohibit both.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that your participation in these games is legal where you reside.
