With Season 8 over and dragon testing concluded, we can reveal the true purpose of adding a second currency. Dragons are now a premium currency, with premium prizes!
For this season, everyone will start with 0 dragons - except for our top ten minion winners. The secret prize promised to our top ten minion holders is starting the new season with 1,000 dragons. For everyone else, a $5 purchase will get you 1,000 dragons. If you ever run out of dragons, you can pay another $5 to get back in the race.
Why would you want to do this? For the amazing new prizes, of course! First place for dragons will receive a lesson with PhantomL0rd and a $100 gift card to GameStop! Second and third place will each receive a $50 GameStop gift card. Fourth and fifth each receive $25 in RP, while sixth through tenth get $10 in RP. In addition, every time you purchase dragons this season, you will be automatically entered in a drawing for 3x $10 RP codes.
Playing with minions will not change at all. You always get 1,000 minions at the start of the season and if you drop below 1,000 you can hit the refill button for free. But now the prizes for minions will include 1,000 dragons for use in the next season.
If you have any questions or concerns, check out the site FAQ, leave a comment, or head over to the LoLBet subreddit and we will try to answer any questions you have. With this new feature, we have added a Terms of Use and a Privacy Policy to the site (this is NOT gambling and is entirely legal, we checked!).
Good luck in the new season!
