StoxPlay uses a straightforward and transparent point system to reward performance based on stock price movements. Learn how points are calculated, multipliers work, and understand our fair scoring system.

01
Core Point System

Calculation Formula

There is no maximum or minimum limit on points a stock can earn. A stock that gains 10% will earn 100 points, while a stock that loses 5% will lose 50 points.

Quick Examples:

Stock gains 2.5%+25 points
Stock gains 7.8%+78 points
Stock loses 1.2%-12 points
