How are Rewards (Rshares) Calculated? – Splinterlands

Reward shares (rshares) are used to calculate both Glint and SPS - the reward currencies for ranked play. Use Glint to purchase items in the Reward Shop. Stake SPS to your account to increase your earnings. SPS will follow the RSHARES formula below and GLINT will follow the GSHARES formula below.

Formula for Reward Shares

Reward Shares are used to calculate Glint and SPS rewards. In the formula below you will need to take the final_rating of the winner as Rating.

Reward Shares= [Rating X (1-%Starter Cards)]³X Bonuses

10³

Champion rating is capped at 5,000

We will use the following to walk through an example of how to calculate Rshares then Gshares & GLINT earned.

First, we take and convert the bonuses from percent to decimal. Then we sum the bonuses and add 1. For SPS we divide the SPS Boost by 10. The SPS Boot shown on the screen is truncated to 3 decimal places, so your numbers may be slightly off unless you pull your actual untruncated boost from the API like in our example below.

The player in our example was at 3960 rating after the match so the formula would look like this:

[(3960^3) X 2.177049306 ]/1000 = 135192880.9 OR 135,192,881 RSHARES

Base Glint

You can view an estimate of your projected Glint by clicking Manage in the Glint Boost modal.

Here, you can view the base amount of Glint you are likely to earn based on your GSHARES. Keep in mind that the cards you play will modify this further. The Base Glint earned per Win is tied to your rating, with Champion rating being capped at 5,000. League bonuses are 1 for Gold 1 and above. *SPS bonus is at minimum 1 even if no SPS is staked

GShares=(Rating³X Bonuses)/ 10³

Glint = {(GShares X 1.8 / 100,000) + 5} X league bonus

GLINT = {(135,192,881 X 1.8 / 100,000) + 5} X 1 = 2438.471

Staked SPS and Guild Bonus are included in the estimation for your earnings per win.
