Climb the Gauntlet

Face the house tier after tier, stacking your orb haul as you climb. Top the weekly leaderboard and the champion's 6,000 Chaos Shards are yours. It's the only way to earn Diamond orbs rather than buy them — and the only way to earn Legendary ones at all.

Questions, Answered

Is this gambling?

No. Chaos Hold'Em is a video game. Chips and orbs are virtual, have no real-world value and cannot be cashed out — no real money is ever wagered or won. See Terms §5.

Is it really free?

Yes. The game is free to play, and every orb can be earned by playing — winning games, signing in daily, climbing the Gauntlet, referring friends.

How do I get orbs?

You start with a bundle at sign-up. After that: win games, sign in daily, clear Gauntlet tiers, refer friends. Practice games against bots refund every orb you play, win or lose.

Do I need an account?

Just an email address. We send you a one-time code — no password to remember. After that you can sign in with Face ID or your fingerprint.

What can I play on?

Android from Google Play, and iOS via TestFlight while the beta runs. Installing takes about a minute.
