Cryptocurrency exchange BingX accidentally doubled the reward for Hamster Kombat players

The listing of Hamster Kombat on exchanges is just three days away, yet the crypto community is already labeling this game as one of the worst tap games in Telegram's history. However, it seems BingX disagrees and has generously distributed HMSTR tokens. But let’s discuss everything in order.

Unexpected Freebie from BingX (or Not?)

According to players, some have found a bug in the BingX Pre-launch poolThe service allows staking cryptocurrencies and earning points for popular tokens in advance.. As a result, those who staked Pre-HMSTR coins received double rewards instead of just the staking interestthe process of locking a specific amount of cryptocurrency in a special wallet to maintain the blockchain network's functionality and security. In return, users receive rewards in the form of additional tokens or cryptocurrency.. Moreover, the funds were available for withdrawal.

Everyone who was excited about the unexpectedly dropped funds is warned: BingX will likely block the accounts of those who exploited the glitch or require them to return the funds. However, the cryptocurrency exchange has not made an official statement yet (other than confirming that it resumed full operations today after a $43 million hack).

Why is Hamster Kombat the Worst Tap Game?

The results of the first season from the game developers:

• 131 million users were eligible for the airdrop (only 43% of the total number of players).
• Over 300 million people joined the game.
• 2.3 million accounts were banned for fraud.
• 30.6 million did not select a method to withdraw tokens in time.
• Out of 100 billion tokens, 75 billion are allocated for the community, with 60% to be distributed in the first airdrop season and the remaining 15% in the next.
• Players will receive 88.75% of tokens immediately, while the remaining 11.25% will be unlocked 10 months after the listing.

Additionally, it appears that many gamers earned between 1,000 to 6,000 tokens. The current pre-market price of HMSTR on the Bybit exchange is approximately 0.099 USDT. However, the token's price may fluctuate sharply after the listing on September 26.

It also turned out that for maximum rewards in the game, invited friends, used keys, and then passive income were the most crucial elements. In other words, the actual tapping process was not particularly beneficial.
