Hey community — it’s been a number of months but we are back with an important update: the Pre-launch of Pool Master.

So what is the Pre-launch?

To gear up for the worldwide launch of our mobile game, we want to give all degens in our community a head start!

We’ve consistently said that our goal is to build the community around Pool Masters, our inaugural game, by rewarding our players for their passionate gaming through quests, digital assets, game prizes and more importantly fun!

The first piece of the plan comes now with the introduction of a web-based version of our game that will be open to players until December.

Read on for more exciting details — and, most importantly, how you can take part!

Love for the community

We have also had a huge focus on our community. Today, we have 7500 users across Discord, Twitter and other social platforms.

We appreciate our early community members for backing the vision behind our game. We want to reward those community members and also supercharge the growth of our game and that’s why there will be tokens and other benefits for players of this upcoming web-based Pool Master game.

There will be up to 133 million tokens — that’s 5% of our maximum supply — up for grabs, alongside 78 billion in-game GOLD reward for when our community of gamers grows.

The token pot will start at 1 million tokens, and that number will increase as more gamers join; up to a maximum of 133 million tokens.

Put simply, the more gamers, the bigger the reward.

Finally, rewards for dedicated gamers

When the web-based pre-launch game closes in December, players who have accrued the most GOLD will take home the biggest share of the pot.

The pot will be divided by the total amount of gold in the market, so those that have accumulated the most GOLD will get a bigger share of the pot.

GOLD is a reward that is earned through activity, including battling other gamers, winning games, wagering on your performance and more!

Earning more gold with multipliers

Once you have your precious (my precious) gold, then there are a couple ways to boost your pile. There are bonuses available across the game to help you get ahead.

Access pass superpowers

That’s right, they’re not just pretty little things, they have superpowers! The older the collection is and the more passes you hold, the higher the bonuses you will receive.

#1 — Early access pass bonus

At the end of the season all the hard earned gold you have earned will have the below bonus applied to them. If you were one of the lucky ones who got in early, you don’t need to work as hard — or, the harder you work, the more handsomely you will be rewarded.

If you got into the community late, you may want to look at picking up vintage assets from the open market so you can enjoy the same reward multiples.

#2 — Multiple pass volume bonus

We truly appreciate those who have supported us since the start. So gamers who own multiple early access passes — specifically the OG and EA passes — will enjoy significant bonuses that will be applied to their GOLD, as explained below..

#3 — Referral Bonus

We know gaming is fun, but it’s a lot more fun when you aren’t playing alone. Gamers who spread the word and bring in new players will get a bonus, too. For every friend you invite, you’ll earn a 1% bonus for every level that they achieve, past level 2.

For example, if you invite player Simon and he ranks up from level 1 to level 10, you’ll get a 8% bonus. The best thing about this bonus is that it’s unlimited, so the more active gamers you invite the bigger your bonus will be.

#4 — Quest Bonus

We love quests, we know you do too! So we are partnering up with questing platforms to help spread the word.

We will provide more details soon but each questing platform will lay out a series of challenges, quests and activities — complete them all and you receive a 10% bonus.

Coming next year: our mobile game and your rewards

Ok so now we are saving some big news for last to make sure you have read this post until the end.

We will be gearing up with our partners to hold a token generation event (TGE) in early- 2025. That will officially launch a token which, in time, will be a tradable asset. We are integrating a token with our partners because we’ve seen gamers spend literal years playing digital pool. They create friend groups, make life-long friends… sometimes even find marriage partners, but they are never able to gain value from their efforts and dedication. Until now with Pool Masters and blockchain technology.

We will release more information about our partnerships, the token and TGE plans in more details as we get closer to the airdrop claim date. But for now we can say that gamers who take part in this pre-launch, web-based game will earn future tokens that they will be able to claim and trade in early-2025 around the worldwide launch of our mobile game.

It is an incredibly exciting time for us here at Eyeball Games. We’re beyond grateful to those community members who have supported us this far and we can’t wait for the next chapter: starting with our upcoming web-based game.
