Hamster – hamster race + game
A hamster-themed gambling project caused a stir in the community last night. The project is called Hamster. It is a project that focuses on live broadcasting of hamster races, and players can bet on who will win in each round. Staking is calculated in BUSD, and while deposits can be made from Ethereum or Binance Chain, withdrawals are currently entirely dependent on Binance Chain.
Although Hamster has been racing since July 11, it did not really become the focus of social discussion until last night. Even KOL Cobie, who does not often speak now, rarely posted:
"I came back to see what you were doing, and it turns out you were betting on hamsters."
In addition to gambling, Hamster also issued its own token HAMS. According to the white paper, HAMS transactions will have a 5% transaction tax. In terms of functionality, the platform will draw a 5% commission from all bets, of which 4% will be Allocated to token holders, in addition to which token holders will also be able to enjoy higher odds on the platform.
Currently, the HAMS token is only traded on the Uniswap v2 pool, with only around $250,000 in liquidity and a market capitalization of around $2.5 million, making the overall risk quite high.
However, not long after it became popular, people in the chat room began to say that the bets could not be withdrawn. Soon after, someone came out on the Twitter community to accuse all the games of being fake. The live video that everyone saw was only played in a loop. The community suddenly The group exploded, and the HAMS token plummeted. In this regard, the team stated that the video was played repeatedly due to server overload and could not load new images, but this argument was difficult to convince the community.
They are not the same videos going over and over again.The server had a downtime and it could not load the new race, and we are looking into why it happened.

However, due to the strong community and FOMO sentiment, the HAMS token price plummeted and then rebounded quickly.
The live broadcast is still on hold at the time of writing. If the team resumes the game and lets everyone continue to "bet the rat", perhaps the hype for the HAMS token can continue.
