Play money and Demo ​

Two ways to use Jua without risking anything: a deployment can run entirely on play money, and a real-money deployment offers Demo mode for practice.

Play money ​

While a deployment is in beta, or on a demo site, Jua runs on free credits. None of it is real money: nothing can be deposited, withdrawn or cashed out, and credits cannot be exchanged for anything.

  • Every new account starts with $1,000 in credits when it finishes signing up.
  • If you run low, so that your cash and open positions together are worth less than $100, you can claim a $500 top-up from your wallet page, once a day.
  • A daily check-in pays a small bonus that grows with your streak ($5 a day by default, up to a week); miss a day and the streak starts again.
  • When a friend you invited makes their first trade, you get a referral bonus ($50 by default).

Credits work exactly like money inside Jua: the same order book, the same $1 for every winning share, the same fee on every buy (so the fee works exactly as it will with real money), the same leaderboard. Because there is no wallet involved, nothing is signed: you press Buy and the trade is placed.

In Telegram ​

The Wallet tab shows your credits, the daily check-in and the top-up. The Quick guides (Profile → Quick guides) walk through getting started, a first prediction and getting credits.

Demo mode ​

On a real-money deployment, once you are signed in, use the Live | Demo switch at the top of the site to practise with virtual money ($10,000 by default). Demo trades use the real markets and their live prices, but never touch real money or the real order books.

  • Demo has its own portfolio, and simulated USDT deposits and withdrawals, so you can try the whole flow with nothing sent on any network.
  • Reset your demo account whenever you want a fresh start, and switch back to Live at any time.
  • Demo is shown in a violet no other part of the site uses, so virtual money is never mistaken for real.

Staff can switch Demo on or off; when it is off, the switch is not shown. In Telegram, Demo appears while staff have it on, with simulated USDT on TON.

Which am I on? ​

  • Play money shows your balance in credits, with a top-up button on the wallet page, and nothing about wallets or chains.
  • Demo shows the violet Demo marker at the top and in the trade panel.
  • Live real money shows the wallet button at the top, with what your connected wallet holds.
