Skill decides
No cards, no dice, no spins and no house. The better play wins, and we never play against you.
Skill games, hosted by Nova.
Nova
Hi, I'm Nova. Nova Arena is short skill games against real people, and it's in closed beta. Ask me anything, or get your invite.
Typed questions are answered by an AI model, from our facts; tapped ones from a fixed list. Leave personal details out.
What it is
A small arena, built for fair matches.
Small rooms
Two to five players, one short match. The winner takes the prize; a tie splits it.
Practice is free
Once Nova Arena opens: any game, any time, in any country. No account and no money, against a clearly labelled practice bot.
Right in the browser
Phone or computer, nothing to install. Once it opens: load the page, pick a game, play.
What is Nova Arena?
Short skill games you play in your browser, against real people. I'm the host: I show you the games, explain them and read your result back.

How does cash play work?
A room of 2 to 5 real players, $1 each. The best player takes the prize and a tie splits it. Our 15 % fee is shown before you play, and it is all we earn.
Who holds my money?
You do. You get your own wallet, entries wait in an escrow contract, and the prize goes straight to the winner. We never hold it.
Where can I play for cash?
Adults 18 and over in 15 countries, Romania, Germany and the Netherlands among them. Practice is free everywhere.
Fair play
Real people, checked matches.
Only real people
Every opponent in a cash room is a real person. No bots, no filler players, no fake queue.
Every paid match checked
Our anti-cheat system checks every paid match. A person reviews before any account is closed for cheating.
Same terms for all
Everyone in a room plays one match, pays the same $1 entry and sees the same fee before playing.
Is it gambling?
No. Nothing random picks the winner: no cards, dice, spins or draws, and we never play against you. How you play decides every match.
The first 100
$10
100 people from the waiting list are invited to a test week, played with test money only.
When real money opens, each beta tester gets $10 in USDC in their own wallet.
What's the $10?
100 people from the list get the test week, with test money. When real money opens, each of them gets $10 in their own wallet.
Warm-up
A toy while you wait. Not one of the games.
Questions
Short answers.
Is this gambling?
No. Nothing random picks the winner: no cards, dice, spins or draws, and we never play against you. How the players play decides every match.
When does Nova Arena open?
There is no date yet. When 1,000 people have joined the waiting list and the platform is ready, a countdown to the public launch starts.
Do I need an account?
Not to practice. Practice is free, needs no account and works in every country. An account is only for cash play.
Who holds my money?
You do. Your wallet is self-custodial, entries sit in an escrow smart contract, and prizes go straight to the winner's wallet. We never hold or move your funds.
What does it cost?
Practice costs nothing. A cash entry is $1, of which 15 % is our platform fee, shown before you play. That fee is all we earn.
Do you check my ID?
No. If you buy USDC by card, or cash out to a bank, through MoonPay, MoonPay runs its own identity check.
