Credits — the rules

Credits are what you earn for helping the community and what you spend to promote your server. Every amount is fixed and published here.

Promote your server without paying, in three steps

  1. 1

    Claim your server

    Prove it is yours. From then on the votes it receives pay you credits, and its page is yours to set up.

  2. 2

    Bring your players

    Every person who votes for it pays you credits. The missions add more: a server that stays up, votes day after day, reviews.

    How credits are earned
  3. 3

    Spend them on promotion

    A place above the lists, a bump or a highlight. Every price is on this page, and none of them is paid in money.

    How promotion works

In short

  • Fixed rewards. Every way to earn credits or XP pays a fixed amount, shown on this page. Nothing is drawn at random and no reward depends on luck.
  • Spent only here. Credits buy two things: promotion for your server and premium membership.
  • No money in, no money out. Credits cannot be bought, cannot be sent to another account and cannot be exchanged for money, goods or anything outside this site.

How credits are earned

The amounts below are the same for everyone: a premium membership multiplies XP, never credits.

Votes your server receives

Each valid vote from another member pays the owner +10 XP, and credits by its place among the paid votes of the day (all your servers together): votes 1 to 10 — 2 credits each · votes 11 to 30 — 1 credit each · votes 31 to 50 — 0 credits each. Up to 50 paid votes a day (40 credits at most); votes above that still count for the ranking. One voter pays at most once a day per owner, and only on approved servers. A vote you cast for your own server, or one cast from a network you use, raises the all-time total but is not counted in the monthly season and pays nothing.

  • A healthy server: one of your listed servers answered at least 99% of the last seven days. Counted once a week per owner, however many servers they have.
  • Voting streaks: a day counts when you vote for a server that is not yours. A missed day starts the count again.
  • A review counts when it is written by a member who has been seen playing on that server, about a server that is not theirs.
  • A report counts when an administrator confirms it. A report about your own server does not.

Inviting friends

Each member who joins with your invitation link brings you +100 XP and +25 credits. Paid once per invited member, for at most 3 invitations a day and 10 in 30 days, and not for an account created from a network you use.

It is paid when the member you invited reaches level 2: a real player, not an account made for the credits.

Squads

Joining the squad of an approved server for the first time pays you +50 XP (paid for at most 1 a day). The owner of that server receives +10 credits for each new member (up to 2 a day).

Levels

XP adds up to levels. Reaching a level pays its credit bonus once.

Level XP needed Credit bonus
Rookie 0 +0
Beginner 500 +100
Explorer 1,500 +150
Skilled 3,500 +250
Veteran 7,500 +400
Expert 15,000 +600
Master 30,000 +800
Grandmaster 60,000 +1,000
Legend 120,000 +1,250
Scope Master 250,000 +1,500

Trophies

Each trophy has a fixed condition and a fixed reward, both listed on your Progress page.

Monthly season

The three approved, claimed servers that the most people voted for in the month receive 500, 250 and 100 credits. The podium is decided by the people who vote — never by a draw. A person counts once a month, however often they vote, and a server needs at least 10 of them to take a prize. One prize per owner. Ties go to the server with more votes this month, then more votes overall, then to the older listing.

One person, one account

Votes, invitations and squad joins that come from a network you use yourself are not rewarded. Networks are recognized from where an account has signed in.

How much will your server earn?

Move the slider to the number of people who vote for your servers each day. The sums are the ones the site pays, by the rules on this page.

0credits a day
0credits a month

A month of those votes buys, for example:

Missions, levels, invitations and the monthly season add more on top.

The wallet

  • A wallet holds up to 5,000 credits. While it is full, votes, daily and weekly missions, invitations and squads keep paying XP but no credits, until some are spent.
  • What can be earned only once — a level, a trophy, a one-time mission — and the season prizes are always paid in full, whatever the wallet holds.
  • From repeatable rewards an account gathers at most 1,200 credits a calendar month; past it they pay XP only. Prizes — the season, the cup, the season pass — and what comes once are not counted.
  • The ceiling is there so that credits cannot be piled up to keep the promotion places for months: everyone gets a turn.

What credits buy

Both are services of this site. Promoted servers are always labelled as promoted.

How promotion works

  • A promoted server is always labelled — "Promoted", "Highlighted" or "Bumped" — and promotion never moves it in the ranking: the ranking belongs to the votes.
  • The places with seats — the first page, the list of servers, a game's page, and Combo, which is all three — hold a fixed number of servers. A game's page has its seats for that game alone.
  • When a place is full, a purchase waits in line: the credits are reserved, the promotion starts for its whole length when its turn comes, and whoever leaves the line gets every credit back.
  • The next in line is the server that has been promoted the least in that place during the last 30 days — not whoever paid first. With the same past, whoever has waited longer.
  • A promoted server that stops answering is not shown, and its promotion is lengthened by the time it was down, up to 48 hours.
  • A bump puts a server first in the "Recently bumped" strip of its game, where it stays until others are bumped over it. The same server can be bumped again after 6 hours.
  • A highlight frames a server where it already stands in the lists, without moving it.

Visibility you earn

These places are free and cannot be bought, with credits or with anything else.

  • New on GTScope. A server that its owner has just listed is shown among the new servers of its game and on the first page for 7 days. Every new server gets this, once.
  • Rising this week. On each game's page: the servers whose distinct voters of the last seven days grew the most against their own weekly average of the four weeks before. A server is measured against itself, so a small one has the same chance as a large one. It needs at least 5 voters in the week; its owner's own votes are not counted.

What you will not find here

  • Rewards in credits or XP decided by chance: no prize draws, no boxes that pay credits, no spins.
  • Any game where credits are staked or won.
  • A way to turn credits into money, or to pass them to someone else.

If buying promotion with money is introduced later, prices will be shown in real currency before you pay.
