Revenue Flow
This page describes how player activity becomes protocol revenue and how that revenue reaches WINR liquidity providers.
Gross Gaming Revenue
Gross gaming revenue (GGR) is the amount players lose in aggregate over a period. It is the top line before any deductions tied to creators, affiliates, or player rewards.
Deductions from Gross Gaming Revenue
Before the protocol treats results as distributable revenue, the platform deducts:
- Creator rewards — settled weekly, based on creator terms tied to game performance
- Affiliate commissions — settled weekly, based on referred player losses or other campaign terms
- VIP cashback — loss-based and applied according to the relevant reward schedule
Creator and affiliate terms may vary by agreement, source, tier, or campaign. VIP cashback is selective, loss-based, and not applied universally.
Net Gaming Revenue
Net gaming revenue (NGR) is what remains after the deductions above.
NGR = GGR − creator rewards − affiliate commissions − VIP cashback
NGR is what flows back to liquidity providers. If NGR is zero or negative after deductions, there is nothing to add to the bankroll for that period.
Where Net Gaming Revenue Goes
100% of net gaming revenue flows back into the WINR bankroll.
There is no separate staker share and no protocol share. All net revenue stays in the bankroll, which is owned by liquidity providers.
This revenue is not paid out as a separate token. It stays in the vault and increases the amount of WINR backing each LP share, so the share price (exchange rate) rises. LP positions grow in value as the bankroll grows, similar to how a fund’s NAV reflects its underlying assets.
LP Protection First
While the bankroll is below its previous high-water mark, all net revenue goes toward restoring it first. Liquidity providers recover before anything else. Once the bankroll is back above its peak, net revenue keeps accruing to LPs through the share price. Nothing is skimmed off the top.
Settlement Cadence
- Game outcomes settle onchain on a fixed epoch (~5 minutes), and the bankroll share price updates as revenue accrues
- Creator and affiliate rewards are settled weekly
- VIP cashback is settled on its own loss-based schedule
How This Connects to the Bankroll
The bankroll is the onchain pool of WINR that pays winning bets. Player losses feed gross gaming revenue. After the deductions that define NGR, the entire net result stays in the bankroll and raises the value of every LP share.
Summary
- GGR = player losses
- Deductions = creator rewards, affiliate commissions, VIP cashback
- NGR = GGR minus those deductions
- NGR allocation = 100% into the WINR bankroll
- LPs earn through a rising share price, not separate token payouts
All of this is traceable and verifiable onchain.
