FixedBets

Guild bets settled through the guild bank. For TBC Anniversary and World of Warcraft: Forever.

Run friendly bets inside your guild without spreadsheets or promises. Everyone stakes real gold into the guild bank, the addon keeps track of who bet what, and when the result is set the pool is split between the winners automatically.

How it works

1. Create a bet. A title, 2 to 10 options, an optional closing date and time (by default two days ahead at 12:00) and an optional minimum and maximum stake. Every guild rank can create bets unless the Guild Master limits it to some ranks.
2. Place a stake. Open the guild bank, pick a bet and an option, and enter whole gold. The panel shows the stake limits and roughly what your stake would pay if the option wins. The addon deposits the stake (plus a tiny 12 copper marker fee) and finds it in the bank's money log. Other players with the addon confirm it, so nobody can fake a stake.
3. Betting closes manually or at the closing time.
4. Set the result. The bet admin or the Guild Master clicks the winning option. Stakes that were never confirmed are rejected, and the pool is split in proportion to the winning stakes, like Twitch predictions. If nobody bet on the winner, or the bet is cancelled, everyone is refunded.
5. Pay the winners. The Guild Master and the treasurer ranks pay out by mail, by trade, or by marking a payout as paid. A Withdraw button in the guild bank panel pulls the unpaid total from the bank. Payments can be undone.

Good to know

• Every guild member who wants to see or join the bets needs the addon, and the whole guild should run the latest version. Versions before 1.2.0 do not sync with newer ones, and versions before 1.5.0 ignore the bet creator ranks.
• One download works on both TBC Anniversary and World of Warcraft: Forever.
• The guild bank money log keeps only the 25 latest transactions. The addon scans it silently whenever anyone with the addon opens the bank, which keeps missed stakes rare.
• Stakes that are never confirmed, arrive after betting closed or fall outside the bet's limits are rejected. Their gold stays in the guild bank, so settle it with your Guild Master.
• The client cannot fill in the trade money for you, so for trade payouts the payer types the amount and the addon detects the completed trade.
• The addon moves gold only when you click: a stake is deposited after you confirm it, and gold is withdrawn when you press Withdraw. For mail payouts you press Send yourself.
• The interface is in English.

Privacy and safety

The addon talks only on the GUILD and WHISPER addon channels and never sends anything outside your guild. It ignores addon messages from anyone who is not on your guild roster, and checks and limits everything it receives. Data is stored per guild in your SavedVariables.
