# FAQs #### 🧠 Is Rebellion a gambling platform? No. Rebellion is a skill-based competition platform, similar to fantasy sports or trading tournaments. Outcomes are determined by player choices, asset performance, and real-world data—not chance or random outcomes. *** #### 💸 Do users need to buy crypto or $REBEL to play? No. Players can participate using **USDC or USDT** on Ethereum or Solana. The $REBEL token is optional and only used for fee discounts, staking, and future perks. *** #### ⛓️ Why use blockchain at all? Blockchain ensures transparent scoring, automated payouts, and a non-custodial system. Players don’t have to trust a middleman—smart contracts handle everything after results are finalized. *** #### 🌍 Is this platform legal in my country?

Geo-blocking and KYC may be applied in restricted regions as needed. *** #### 🔐 Is my money safe? Yes. Rebellion is **non-custodial**—players always maintain control over their funds. Entry fees and prize payouts are handled by smart contracts, and winnings are delivered directly to the user’s wallet. *** #### 🎮 What types of contests can I join? * **Fantasy Leagues** (weekly/monthly) * **Predictor** (binary forecasts) * **Custom Private Leagues** *(coming soon)* * Future modes: **Yield Challenge**, **Sector Duels**, and more. #### 🧾 Will I have to pay taxes on winnings? Rebellion does not withhold or report taxes. Users are responsible for understanding and complying with tax obligations in their jurisdiction related to stablecoin-based rewards or crypto staking income. *** #### 🏅 Are NFTs involved in the game? Not required—but in the future, users may unlock optional NFTs (badges, skins, loot boxes) through gameplay or achievements. These are for visual or social perks, not pay-to-win mechanics. *** #### 🙈 Do I need to share personal info to play? No. Rebellion is built around wallet-based access, with no mandatory KYC for general gameplay. However, we may enforce KYC/AML requirements for high-volume players or based on regional compliance. *** #### 🧑‍🚀 Can I earn long-term rewards or level up? Yes. The platform will feature XP-based leveling, weekly quests, and loyalty perks for active users. Top players and regular participants can unlock exclusive leagues, cosmetics, and staking boosts. *** #### 👨‍💻 Who builds and manages the platform? The project is led by a small team of engineers, traders, and game designers focused on building real utility and player-owned finance. We prioritize shipping product over hype and plan to open up governance after traction, not before. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
