Reduced Fees Starting Monday UTC!
Starting this week, we’re slashing entry fees to 5% for all paid races (including Sit and Gos). And that’s not all! 100% of the fees generated will be directed to the Player Treasury for distribution back to the community.
We can't wait to see all ZED Headz in regions that can access paid racing hit the track!
Valentine's Day Challenge
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, our community celebrated love on the track by pairing male and female racehorses in custom 6-Horse races. Couples hitting the podium together earned $ZED tokens as a token of love! A total of $1000 in ZED token was distributed among 22 victorious stables, with each one securing approximately $45.45 from the competition.
Beyond the $ZED prizes, six standout racehorses, three from each gender, sprinting the fastest in the 1000m races, were adorned with exclusive Valentine’s Day skins. Check out the champions below!
