The WHERE clause is the lock
Balance and freeze checks live in the SQL that moves money (WHERE balance >= ? AND is_frozen = 0), not in Lua beforehand. Zero rows updated means denied — the cash never moved.
Studio note · 2026
A bank that cannot print money.
joyride.games is two people. First resource: ledger-first banking for FiveM RP servers. Every cash movement is one atomic SQL transaction. If the row doesn’t update, the money doesn’t move.
Not a screenshot. Drawn here. Route is the metaphor, not a feature demo.
01 / First product
In development · not for sale yetjr_bankingLedger-first banking.
Most RP banks check the balance in script, then write it in a second step. That gap is where double-clicks and parallel requests print money. We don’t leave a gap.
The journal writes denials too
Every call — deposit, withdraw, transfer — appends a row, success or not. An admin can see who tried to drain a frozen account, not only who succeeded.
Roles join the same transaction
Owner, manager, member are checked inside the money movement, not after it. A forged account id does not spend someone else’s balance.
In v1
- Personal accounts
- Organization accounts with owner / manager / member
- Qbox and QBCore via a bridge layer
- Open
config.luafor limits, currency, ATM points
Not in v1
- Invoices, loans, savings interest, crypto
- ESX — planned after v1
- Phone apps and physical checks
-- Subtract only if the money is actually there.
-- 0 rows = denied. There is no second chance.
UPDATE jr_accounts
SET balance = balance - :amt
WHERE id = :from
AND balance >= :amt
AND is_frozen = 0;
-- Then the journal, always:
INSERT INTO jr_transactions
(from_id, amount, actor, reason, denied_code)
VALUES
(:from, :amt, :citizenid, 'withdraw',
NULL -- or 'insufficient_funds' / 'frozen' / 'no_access');
-- Lua never decides the balance.
-- Three verbs: deposit, withdraw, transfer.Illustrative of the invariant — not a paste of the shipping source. Amounts are integers. No float cents.
02 / Two lanes
Server owners and players don’t share a checkout.
Paid scripts for the people who run a city. Free tools for the people who play in one. Nothing here requires the other.
For server owners
Scripts and assets for FiveM roleplay servers, built to drop into a live city — not a screenshot. First up: jr_banking. When it ships, it will be sold through Tebex.
- Mechanics that hold up with real players, not demo footage
- Fits existing Qbox / QBCore setups via a bridge, not a rewrite
- Storefront not open yet — this page is the signal

03 / Studio
Two people. No curtain.
joyride.games is the shared name for what two people build: server-side scripts for FiveM communities, and small free tools for players around whichever open-world release is worth building for next. There is no team behind the curtain — if it ships under this name, one of us wrote it.
We operate as a small independent outfit based in Georgia, under the umbrella of Margats, our holding entity. No investors, no roadmap decks. The first product is still in development. We would rather say that than pretend a store exists.
Team
Two people, full stack — no studio floor, no agency.
Base
Independently operated (IP), Georgia.
