Bet your points on a question. Right doubles your bet back, wrong costs you.
Wagering is a high-stakes question where each team bets some of its points on getting the answer right. It's a team decision, so settle on a number together.
Answer correctly and you gain your wager. Answer wrong and you lose it. A bold bet can vault you up the board or sink a comfortable lead.
Your team places a bet within the allowed range. Depending on the host's setup, you bet either before the question appears (blind) or after you've seen it.
Then you answer. Correct adds your wager to your team score, plus any flat bonus the host set for the round; wrong subtracts the wager. Your score can't drop below zero, so a wrong all-in bottoms you out rather than going negative.
| Option | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Wager timing Default: before |
The table rule for when teams place their bet.
Before: a blind bet placed without seeing the question. After: an informed bet once the question is on screen. This sets the rule shown to the room; the host enforces it by choosing when to reveal the question.
|
| Minimum wager Default: 10 (range 0 to 100) |
The smallest bet a team can place.
Set above zero to force teams to have some skin in the game.
|
| Maximum wager Default: 100 (range 10 to 500) |
The largest bet allowed, unless all-in is on.
Caps how big a single swing can be.
|
| Allow all-in Default: Off |
Let teams bet their entire score.
On: a team may bet its exact full score, which is otherwise blocked. The maximum wager still applies either way.
|
| Flat bonus on correct Default: 0 (range 0 to 50) |
Extra points added on top of a winning wager.
A correct answer pays the wager plus this flat bonus, so even a cautious bet earns something for being right. Zero switches the bonus off.

Wager points decide the round, but they're separate from Glory Points (GP), the season-long score that ranks you across every game mode.
Wagering is a round inside a trivia game, so it doesn't pay GP on its own. Your result rolls into your game score, and GP is awarded once when the whole game finishes. See the Glory Points guide for the full breakdown.
Bet to your confidence. A blind wager is a pure gut call, while an informed wager lets you read the question first, so size your bet accordingly.
Mind the scoreboard. If you're in front, a small wager protects your lead; if you're chasing, a big bet may be the only way to catch up.
Scoring is per team. A correct answer adds your wager (plus the flat bonus when one is set), a wrong answer subtracts the wager, and your team score never goes below zero.
You can only bet points you actually have, and you can never wager more than your current score. If your score is below the table minimum, you may still go all-in on everything you have, so a struggling team is never locked out of the round.
