There were bumps along the way and some long breaks, but we did it! Mooch off our faucet and compete to get on the Whaleboard!
EDIT: A response to 
Let me try to better explain the process.Once a user has registered, they can either deposit BTC or use our faucet to play for free. (You can use faucet whenever your have a balance of 0)
Next the user may select an option ( a coin ) on the right of the graph and enter an amount to wager.
The lines on the graph represent the Normalization of the coin performance for the last 6 minutes in milli percentage points.
You may wager as a long as the lines haven't crossed into the locked blue section.
If your line ends up at the top of the chart at the end of the round. You will be rewarded a portion of the POT in proportion to the amount of the individual COIN POT you wagered on.
There are two types of points you can also earn beside BTC payout. Green points are for reward for wagering on winning coins. Black points are reward for every wager. The rewards are higher, the earlier and bigger you bet. There is also a betting power with diminishing returns on betting points.
Green and black points earned only apply to the first bet of the round. They are then combined at the end of the round and added into you total points for the WhaleBoard aka LeaderBoard.
The top players on the WhaleBoard earn residual payments each round, while they remain on the WhaleBoard. They can use the faucet at this point to collect their reward.
I hope this helps.
