Bagout is a real-time territory-capture game you play in the browser, for
free or for real money. Steer a cube, leave a trail outside your own ground, and close the
loop to claim what you enclosed. Touch somebody else's trail and they are out. Touch your
own and you are.
How to play
- Pick a username. It is also your invite link, and it is free.
- Choose a tier. Free is genuine practice: it costs nothing and pays nothing.
- Steer with the mouse, WASD or the arrow keys. On a phone, drag anywhere.
- Claim ground by looping out of your territory and back into it.
- Eliminate rivals by crossing the trail they leave outside their own land.
- Hold E, or the on-screen button on mobile, to cash out. Survive the hold and you bank what you are carrying, less a 5% fee.
Dying costs you everything you carry, and it goes to whoever eliminated you. Running into
your own trail forfeits it to nobody. The cash-out hold is a real risk right up to the
final tick: being killed during it loses the lot.
Game modes
Free-for-all worlds are persistent: they never end, so you can join at
any moment and leave whenever you have banked enough. 1v1 duels are
private matches against one other player, either a friend you invite or a stranger from
the queue, and the survivor takes the pool.
It is the paper.io idea with a stake on it: every player carries money into the arena,
and the way to take theirs is to cut them off before they get home.
Playing for real money
Paid tiers settle in SOL on Solana. You can deposit from a wallet you already have, or
buy SOL with a card, Apple Pay or a bank transfer and then deposit it. Winnings are
withdrawn to the wallet linked to your account. You must be 18 or older, and you should
only ever stake money you can afford to lose. Skill decides a lot here, but it does not
decide everything, and you can lose a buy-in in seconds.
Questions
- Is Bagout free to play?
-
Yes. The free tier is a full game against the same opponents on the same map. It costs
nothing to enter and pays nothing out, and you never have to deposit to use it.
- Do I play against real people or bots?
-
Both. Worlds are filled out with computer-controlled players, and they are staked by us at
the same buy-in as everybody else, so eliminating one pays exactly what eliminating a
person pays, and they can take your stake the same way.
- How do I actually win money?
-
You enter carrying your buy-in. Eliminating another player transfers everything they are
carrying to you. Cashing out banks it. Nothing is yours until the cash-out hold completes.
- Do you take a cut?
-
Yes, 5%. It comes off what you bank when you cash out of a world, and again off
withdrawals to your wallet. Nothing is charged to join a match, and a buy-in handed back
because a world was full is refunded in full.
- How long does a cash-out take to reach my wallet?
-
Under a minute in normal conditions. Banking inside a world is instant and credits your
Bagout balance straight away. Withdrawing that balance to your Solana wallet is sent the
moment you confirm it, and Solana usually settles in a few seconds. There is no manual
approval step and nobody has to review it.
- Are there set days or times for cashing out?
-
No. Any time, any day. There is no withdrawal window, no cooling-off period and no limit
on how often you withdraw. The only conditions are a minimum of $5 per withdrawal and a
linked Solana wallet.
- What do the $1, $5 and $20 tiers mean?
-
They are stake sizes. The tier is what it costs to enter a world and what you carry when
you arrive, so in a $5 world everyone starts holding $5, eliminating someone hands you
their $5, and dying loses yours. Higher tiers are the same game for larger amounts, not a
different or better one. Free is the same game for nothing.
- Can I play on my phone?
-
Yes. The whole game works on touch, including cashing out, which has its own on-screen
button because there is no E key to hold.
- What do I need to start?
-
An account and a username. For the free tier that is genuinely all: no deposit, no card,
no wallet funding.
