Zero-Edge Explained

How RSociety returns the house edge and where the money comes from instead.

What does zero-edge mean?

In a traditional casino, the house keeps a mathematical advantage on every bet — typically 1.4% to 11% depending on the bet type. Over time, players always lose and the house always profits.

RSociety does not keep that edge. The house-edge math still exists in the game (craps odds are what they are), but any surplus the house accumulates from game outcomes is returned to players through formula-bound rebates and dividends. The target is an effective player edge of approximately zero over sufficient volume.

How does RSociety make money?

Revenue comes from the access layer, not the game. When players swap SOL for CRAP tokens to play, a 5% swap fee is collected on the trade. That fee flows to CRAP stakers, not to the house bankroll.

The traditional casino equation is: Revenue = Volume x House Edge. RSociety replaces that with: Funding = Token Volume x Swap Fee x Staker Share.

The game itself is not an extraction mechanism. Players bear a cost when entering and exiting through the token swap, but the table does not take from you while you play.

How is the edge returned?

The house bankroll accumulates and loses CRAP naturally through game outcomes. When the bankroll exceeds its baseline (50M CRAP), the surplus enters a dividend pool distributed to players proportional to their volume.

Additionally, a governance-configurable rebate rate can return value directly on each bet. The rebate split between staker rewards and player cashback is also configurable.

A locked founder stake (90% of supply) acts as a backstop — if the house bankroll drops dangerously low, the backstop absorbs tail risk so the table stays solvent.

How can I verify this?

All game state lives on Solana. You can independently verify:

  • Roll fairness — recompute the commit-reveal RNG chain for any historical roll on the verification page.
  • House solvency — check the house bankroll, exposure, and backstop status on the solvency page.
  • Token deployment — confirm the program ID, mint address, and treasury vault on the token page.

The operator cannot quietly rewrite settlement outcomes, change balances, or redirect funds. Custody, settlement, and fee routing are contract-governed on Solana and externally auditable.

What is not proven yet

RSociety currently runs on Solana devnet. The zero-edge game math and settlement correctness are provable on devnet. Swap-fee revenue sustainability at real-world scale has not yet been proven in a value-bearing environment. Claims about fee funding should be understood as modeled, not demonstrated at production volume.
