What is Photo Finish™ LIVE?
Photo Finish™ LIVE is the world’s most realistic virtual horse racing game that features the same rewards and challenges that come with real-life racehorse ownership.
Players can earn real money through racing, racetrack ownership, and playing the ponies, just like in real life!
Want a deeper dive? Read more about Photo Finish™ and the team behind the game in Part 1 of this Welcome to Photo Finish™ LIVE onboarding series.
Getting Started: Create Your Stable
Creating your own Photo Finish™ LIVE stable will take a matter of seconds and is 100% free.
Sign-up here to begin: https://signup.photofinish.live/
While you’re there, click on the image of the jockey silk at the upper-righthand corner to personalize your stable, including what your jockey will wear as it rides down the track.
Ready, Set, Race: Enter a Trainer Horse in a FREE race
Good news! Now that you’ve created a stable, you can instantly hit the tracks by entering the free Trainer Horse that’s located within every player’s stable into any of the races under the ‘FREE RACES’ tab.
Trainer Horses exist solely to run in free-to-play races and aren’t eligible to breed or be sold.
Learn more about Trainer Horses here.
Token Talk: What are $CROWN and $DERBY?
Before we venture further, let’s talk more about the two tokens that make up the Photo Finish™ LIVE economy — $DERBY and $CROWN.
$DERBY is your in-game currency used to enter races, breed, purchase horses from the marketplace, and make horse picks. Eighty (80) $DERBY will always equate to $1 within the Photo Finish™ game. That means if you see a race entry fee of 1,600 $DERBY, it’s $20 USD to enter.
$CROWN, on the other hand, is the utility token of the Photo Finish™ ecosystem, and the gold to $DERBY’s dollar. You’ll also need your own $CROWN to stake shares in racetracks that will deliver revenue-sharing rewards in the form of $DERBY each season.
Want to learn more about $CROWN? Visit the $CROWN Resource Center to find everything you’ll ever need to know about the token that makes Photo Finish™ so groundbreaking and unique.
