❓ FAQ & Risks: Your Questions Answered

Transparency is a core value of TM Deal. We believe in addressing the tough questions directly, so you know exactly how our platform works and what to expect.

🔒 Security & Funds

Q: Are my funds safe? A: Yes — we use a hybrid security model:

• TON / USDT / USDC markets: Non-custodial. Your funds are locked in audited smart contracts. We never touch your assets. Full Web3 trustless security.

• Stars markets: Custodial. Powered by Telegram’s official payment infrastructure. We keep only an internal ledger; payments are processed via Telegram itself.

Q: What if something goes wrong with a market?

• Source of Truth: Every market is tied to a public, verifiable source (e.g., FIFA official site, CoinMarketCap).

• Settlement Delay: Payouts are delayed 1–2 hours after result announcement to allow community review.

• Oracles: Headliner events are verified by trusted Oracles with reputation + stake.

🎮 Gameplay & Legality

Q: Is this gambling? A: TM Deal is not a casino. We are a SocialFi Challenge Game where:

• Players create and join prediction markets & challenges.

• Creators monetize their content in new, gamified ways.

• Communities engage through social betting and viral formats.

👉 There’s a financial element, but our focus is on community, content, and collective intelligence. ⚠️ Please respect your local regulations and play responsibly.

💸 Earnings & Rewards

Q: How do I earn as a user?

• Cashback: Up to 60% lifetime cashback on platform fees if you’re a Genesis Founder.

Q: How do I earn as a creator?

Q: Can I support my faction / project directly? Yes! We have faction achievements for supporters who contribute in TON / USDT / USDC. Your donations boost your faction, unlock titles, and show your legacy.

⚠️ Risks

Q: What are the main risks I should know?

• Smart Contract Risk: Our contracts will be audited, but no code is 100% bug-proof.

• Volatility Risk: Crypto assets (TON, USDT, USDC, Stars) can fluctuate in value.

• Centralization Risk (Stars): Stars rely on Telegram + our backend ledger. While secured, it’s a different trust model than non-custodial TON/Stablecoin markets.
