Thanks for your feedback. We're very mindful of system gaming and proactively work to prevent it. Although it's impossible to identify these activities perfectly, we do remove users that are competing unfairly. In reality, once a user is qualified to receive payments, it's fairly easy for us to ensure unique identities.

Our game design itself also prevents a lot of issues commonly seen on other trading game platforms. For example, you can't buy 1000% of a $2mn market cap company; we aggressively force close positions that breach margin requirements; etc. These are usually the culprits behind "astronomical" and unrealistic gains.

We pride ourselves on our performance measurements. This is why many financial institutions and universities have chosen to work with us.
