Rather than utilizing a typical ELO, use the online variety of cash a participant has gained because the measure of their talent.

If the objective is to forestall gamers from artificially decreasing their rating to realize cash, then tie their rating to the variety of cash they’ve. While abuse remains to be potential to a restricted extent, it is capped on the variety of cash you may earn in a single sport, as a result of as quickly as they begin to have any success with their plan, their rating rises. It’s a self-correcting system, similar to a superb ELO system.

If you need to aggressively encourage gamers to pair in opposition to individuals of the identical talent degree, then arrange a ratio system within the bidding, in order that one coin from a participant who has only a few cash matches ten cash from a participant with many cash when bidding – this discourages gamers from enjoying in opposition to these with considerably fewer cash (as a result of the rewards are much less and the dangers are increased), and means the gamers who do effectively in opposition to higher-ranked gamers will advance rapidly. This mimics the ELO system of scaling score modifications based mostly on opponent’s power.

Coins gained from various strategies (shopping for cash with real-world cash, promotions, and many others) should not be factored into the rating, solely cash “earned” throughout play.
