Points Bet, Explained: Stake Free Boxbid Points at Real Prices, With No Money In and Nothing Out
By The Kimster
Points Bet is a free game for entertainment only. Points have no cash value, can't be bought, sold, transferred or cashed out, and Points Bet results never count toward real prizes. No real-money gambling. 18+.
Points Bet is the newest tab on /play. The rules page says it plainly: "No money in, nothing out." These are virtual points with no cash value and no prizes.

Guess
Getting started
- Log in, then confirm you're 18 or older on the Points Bet tab.
- Confirm your phone with a six-digit text code. There's one Points Bet account per phone number.
- You get a one-time 1,000-point starting stack in your regular Boxbid points.
Placing a bet
Pick a fight from the Fight Picker card, then pick a market: - Winner - Method of victory (KO/TKO/DQ or decision) - Round of victory (a group of rounds, or goes the distance) - Total rounds over or under a line like 9.5
Tap a price, pick a stake and place the bet. Your payout is locked in when the bet goes through: stake times the decimal price, rounded down. Prices come from "Market consensus," which is the middle of several bookmakers' prices with their margin removed, or from "Boxbid odds." There's no house margin.
The numbers
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Starting stack (once) | 1,000 pts |
| Smallest / biggest bet | 10 / 10,000 pts |
| Most on one fight | 10,000 pts |
| Broke refill | up to 500 pts when you're under 50 with no open bets, once every 7 days |
| Price range | -5000 (1.02x) to +2500 (26.00x) |
Settlement, in short
- Betting closes at each bout's start time, and there's no betting during a fight.
- A draw refunds both sides of a two-way winner market.
- A voided bout (no contest, cancelled or new opponent) refunds every stake.
- If a result changes within 7 days, bets re-settle.
- If the price gets more than 2% worse while you're deciding, you have to confirm again.
- You can take a break, and breaks can't be shortened.
Where it stands
The rules page is still marked "DRAFT – pending lawyer review." Winner markets are now priced on 10 fights, including Navarrete vs. Foster, Dalton Smith vs. Alberto Puello and Canelo Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli. More fights and the method, round and total-rounds markets open fight week, so check back as each card gets closer. The Points Bet leaderboard ranks profit and ROI, and you need five settled bets to qualify. It gives badges, not prizes. Make your Fight Picker calls too, and read Bet Gator's Navarrete-Foster preview.
