🪂SHFL Airdrop 3
Airdrop 3 (9% of Total SHFL Supply)
Airdrop 3 is designed to reward our most dedicated players while keeping the weekly action exciting.
Across the next year, a total of 90,000,000 SHFL will be distributed in two ways. First, through a snapshot allocation that recognises consistent activity. Then, through a full year of weekly SHFL Airdrops where leaderboard performance determines what you receive.
All activity counted towards Airdrop 3 has been measured since December 1, 2024, immediately following the previous Airdrop 2 campaign.
The Timeline
Snapshot: March 1, 2026, at 00:00 UTC
Allocations Published: March 4, 2026, at 00:00 UTC
Unlocking Begins & Stage 2 Starts: March 7, 2026, at 00:00 UTC
Weekly SHFL Airdrops occur every Saturday at 00:00 UTC, with the final airdrop scheduled for the week of February 27 to March 6, 2027.
TL;DR
Total Distribution: 90M SHFL across 52 weeks (20M in Stage 1, 70M in Stage 2).
Stage 1 Snapshot Allocation: Top 50,000 eligible players since December 01, 2024, have been pre-allocated Stage 1 tokens.
Stage 2 Weekly SHFL Airdrops: Top 10,000 eligible players each week receive SHFL based on leaderboard performance.
Emissions: Early weeks are higher, gradually decaying over 20 weeks, then stabilising at 1,000,000 SHFL per week.
Token Unlocking: For both stages, 10% of tokens unlock immediately, and the remaining 90% unlock gradually via the wager-to-vest mechanism. Completing Level 2 verification (or Level 3, at our request) halves the unlock requirement.
Leaderboard Rewards: Points are calculated based on wagered amount, house edge, Originals, SHFL wagers, and VIP rank, rewarding both strategy and volume.
Weekly Airdrop Schedule: Every Saturday at 00:00 UTC, a new weekly Airdrop begins, running until Friday 23:59 UTC. Each weekly Airdrop is independent.
Account Eligibility: Participation is limited to active accounts in good standing (at Shuffle.com’s discretion). Closed, restricted, or permanently excluded accounts are not eligible.
Two Stages. One Continuous System.
Airdrop 3 is divided into Stage 1 and Stage 2, but both follow the same core unlock structure. The difference lies in how tokens are allocated.
Stage 1: Snapshot Allocation (Week 1)
20,000,000 SHFL
Stage 1 recognises past performance and rewards the top 50,000 eligible players ranked by activity since Airdrop 2 on December 01, 2024.
The March 1 snapshot determines your final allocation, which becomes visible in your dashboard on March 4. When unlocking begins on March 7, 10% of your allocation becomes available immediately, and the remaining 90% unlocks gradually through the wager-to-vest mechanism.
Stage 2: Weekly SHFL Airdrops (Week 2 - 52)
70,000,000 SHFL
Stage 2 shifts the focus to weekly competition, rewarding consistency, competition, and sustained engagement over time.
Across 51 weekly Airdrops, the top 10,000 eligible players each week will receive SHFL based entirely on leaderboard performance. Every weekly Airdrop is independent, and what you receive depends exclusively on that week’s activity.
At the end of each weekly Aidrop, your SHFL is credited to your dashboard. Just like Stage 1, 10% unlocks immediately, while the remaining 90% unlocks through wager-to-vest under the same rules.
Emission Structure
Initial emissions are front-loaded to encourage early participation, gradually tapering over the first 20 weeks and stabilising at 1,000,000 SHFL per week from Week 21 onwards, balancing strong early engagement with long-term sustainability.
Unlocking & Wager-to-Vest
Both Stage 1 and Stage 2 tokens follow the same unlock model.
10% of your tokens become available immediately, while the remaining 90% unlock gradually through the wager-to-vest mechanism. At the standard rate, every $20 USD wagered unlocks 1 SHFL, but completing Level 2 verification halves this requirement to $10 USD per SHFL.
How Weekly Leaderboards Work
Stage 2 allocations are determined by a weighted points formula designed to reflect more than just raw wagering volume.
Points take into account:
Total amount wagered
House edge
Game type
Currency used
VIP rank
Not all wagers are equal. Games with a higher house edge earn you more points per dollar, Originals give you an extra boost, and using SHFL for your wagers adds even more. On top of that, your highest VIP rank multiplies your total score, so every factor counts toward climbing the leaderboard. If a bonus rollover is active, a 0.50 reward penalty applies, reducing the contribution of those wagers to 50% in the points calculation.

Casino Example
Alice’s wagers:
$100,000 USD on Dice (1% House Edge) using SHFL → Originals × SHFL
$200,000 USD on Slots (3.6% House Edge) using USDC → Non-Originals × Non-SHFL
Step 1: Calculate per-game points (before rank)
Dice: 100,000 × (1 − 0) × (0.01/0.01) × (1.2 × 1.5) = 150,000 points
Slots: 200,000 × (1 − 0) × (0.036/0.01) × (1.0 × 1.0) = 720,000 points
Step 2: Sum per-game points
150,000 + 720,000 = 870,000 points (before rank)
Step 3: Apply VIP rank multiplier
Opal = 1.08 multiplier
870,000 × 1.08 = 939,600 total weekly points
Sports Example
Sports points are calculated using the same weighted formula as Casino wagers.
Different types of bets can earn different points, with multi-leg bets generally earning more than single bets for the same wager. The examples below illustrate how two common types of sports wagers contribute to weekly points:
Alice’s wagers:
$100,000 USD on a single straight bet using SHFL → earns 375,000 points
$200,000 USD on a 3‑leg parlay using USDC → earns 1,368,240 points
Step 1: Sum per-bet points
375,000 + 1,368,240 = 1,743,240 points (before VIP rank)
Step 2: Apply VIP rank multiplier
Opal = 1.08 multiplier
1,743,240 × 1.08 = 1,882,699 total weekly points
