Why seeders eat the most.

The 10% seed dividend pool is split pro-rata to seed-phase contributions. The denominator is total SEED contributions, not total pot. Active-phase entries grow the pot but never enter the seed pool. So early seeders own a fixed % of seed pool that pays out against the FULL FINAL POT.

seed_dividend = (your seed contribution / total seed contributions) × (10% of final pot)

Worked examples

A · Lone seeder, medium-pot outcome

·You seed 3Ξ alone. You fill the entire threshold.
·Game enters active phase, others pile in.
·Pot grows to 50Ξ at settle.
·Your seed dividend = 100% × 10% × 50Ξ = 5Ξ
·On your 3Ξ commitment = 67% return JUST from seeding.
·Plus your slots are in the jackpot pool.

B · Lone seeder, mega-pot outcome (sold-out)

·You seed 3Ξ alone.
·Pot grows to the maximum 500Ξ (all 1,000 slots claimed).
·Your seed dividend = 100% × 10% × 500Ξ = 50Ξ
·On your 3Ξ = 1,567% return just from seed.
·Plus your jackpot odds.

C · Co-seeded round

·You seed 1Ξ, two other seeders contribute 1Ξ each.
·Total seed = 3Ξ. Your seed share = 33%.
·Pot grows to 50Ξ.
·Your seed dividend = 33% × 10% × 50Ξ = 1.65Ξ
·On your 1Ξ = 65% return.

Active-phase EV

A new entry of value v arriving while you hold a slot changes your EV. The math:

ΔEV = 0.73 × [N×v − P] / [N×(N+1)]

Where N = current slots claimed, P = current pot. ΔEV is positive when v > P/N (new entry above average slot value).

Translation: every active-phase player benefits when the pot grows. Some run the marginal EV math, most just FOMO when they see a bigger pot. Both behaviors grow the bomb, both grow the seed dividend, both grow the jackpot.
