VEGAS AXIE CLUB Scholarship Program

5 min readJul 9, 2021

Axie Infinity is a revolutionary blockchain game that pioneered the “Play-to-Earn” model. To start playing Axie Infinity, players need a minimum of 3 axies. With initial costs proving to be a barrier to entry, the introduction of Axie Infinity Scholarship Programs facilitate teams to new players. This is done at an exchange for a percentage of each account’s earnings. Players can earn Smooth Love Potions (SLP) just by playing the game — either in PvP or PvE. The SLP token can either be used to breed two axies, or it can be exchanged for ETH from your Metamask wallet via decentralized exchange markets. This is what makes it a very attractive game to play as there’s a direct correlation from playing Axie Infinity and accumulating ETH (or any other token/fiat currency you choose). Just by doing daily quests alone, a casual player can make 75 SLP/day by giving 30min — 2 hrs of time each day depending on your skill level.

About the Program

This program is being offered by Vegas Axie Club(us), a group of blockchain enthusiasts and avid Axie Infinity players. It will be maintained and coordinated by Vegas Axie Club founders; all axies are owned by Vegas Axie Club and will be loaned out to successful applicants in exchange for 35% of their SLP earnings (please see more details regarding earnings below). The maintenance and co-ordination of this program will require time, manual input, and trust in Vegas Axie Club. Successful applicants will be given an account login and password to an Axie Infinity team. This account login and password will only give you access to playing the game, the ronin wallet and the subsequent private key will be kept with Vegas Axie Club. This implies that applicants will only be able to control the makeup of each team, and will not have direct access to any other axies or SLP earnings.

SLP earnings will be claimed and delivered individually by Vegas Axie Club, hence requiring trust in us to act honestly and fairly within this program. Though a biased opinion, we do and will act fairly and honestly just as we do in every day life with our neighbors, co-workers, family and friends. An important aspect of this game is its community — a lot of coordination and relationships will be required to play this game as it grows and our reputation as honest and fair players is worth more to us than SLP earnings. The best way to reach us is on Discord (VegasAxieClub#8101) Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns about this process and this scholarship program.

Rules & Requirements

Single Account

The purpose of this scholarship is to offer players an opportunity to enter the game in an otherwise high-barrier to entry. If you own another Axie Infinity account, or are participating in another Axie Infinity Scholarship Program, you are not eligible for Vegas Axie Club’s Scholarship Program. Axie Infinity has a strict policy in only maintaining 1 active playing account per user. Failure to follow this rule will result in a ban from Vegas Axie Club’s Scholarship Program and any SLP earned will be forfeited.

Earnings

In exchange for borrowing a team of 3 axies from us, successful applicants will receive 65% of all SLP earned after transaction costs if any incur — more info about transaction costs and cashing out is detailed below. The remaining 35% of all SLP earned will be retained by Vegas Axie Club in exchange for the competitive axie team and management of the account. Any winnings earned from the PvP ladder board (tokens other than SLP) will be split 50% -50% between the applicant and the Vegas Axie Club management team. Any transaction costs required to process payment to the applicant will be paid fully by the applicant.

All admitted applicants must earn a minimum of 2500 SLP/month in order to maintain access to their Axie Infinity account. The first official day of tracking starts one day after you are granted access to your Axie Infinity account. This buffer gives you one day to setup and familiarize yourself with the game.

Activity

In order to reach those that need the program most, and to maximize and capitalize on the use of each team available from Vegas Axie Club Scholarship Program, it’s important that applicants remain active and play the game. As a result, a minimum earning threshold per week of 550 SLP/week is strongly suggested. This is a barometer to ensure each successful applicant is on track to meet their monthly minimum requirements. If an account is not active, it is at the discretion of Vegas Axie Club to terminate the account for the admitted applicant and make it available for other applicants. Any indication the account is not being used, and activity wanes, admitted applicants may be removed from Vegas Axie Club’s Scholarship Program. All applicants will be given proper warnings followed by a 3 days notice prior to the removal of access.

This implies that successful applicants are also available to be contacted. Failure to respond to warning contact from Vegas Axie Club within 2 days will also be susceptible to removal of access to their Axie Infinity account at our discretion. The primary mode of communication that will be used is Discord.

Cashing Out

There will be a minimum of 2000 SLP needed in order to cash out. This is because Axie Infinity allows claiming SLP only every two weeks. ALL SLP Earnings will only be transferred to a ronin address in order to avoid costly transaction fees.

All earnings ( other than SLP) that come from PvP leaderboard rankings at the end of each season will be split between scholar and manager 50% — 50%.

There will be cash outs every two weeks, just like a regular payroll. We will respond as quickly as we can to earnings cash out, but please don’t fret if there are delays — earnings cash out will be completed within 24–48 hours after the time of a cashout request by the applicant.

Fair Play

Axie Infinity has made it very clear that they will not tolerate any players who try to game the system, use bots or have multiple accounts. We fully support Axie Infinity on this — any accounts provided by this program being used to game the system or act disingenuously will result in an immediate ban forfeiting all earnings made by that account.

Disclaimer

This is an experimental pilot program that makes no promises of profit, one must put in the work to reap the rewards. The program can change or end at any point for any reason. If the program were to end, the remaining SLP balances will be sent out to each applicant’s personal ronin address as long as it is claimable. There is no set period for the program, we will keep it running and growing as long as it is economical for all those involved. Vegas Axie Club reserves the right to terminate any player’s place in the program to protect the integrity of the program. The full terms and conditions of the program are explained throughout this article.
