OWN THE HOUSE
You place a bet. The house wins. It always does, that's just the math. The only question is who owns the house.
Your losses build someone else's empire. You take all the risk and own none of it.
You own the house. 97% of its net revenue buys $DGN back and burns it, so there's less of it over time and your share keeps growing.
THE BUYBACK
97% of net revenue, after the costs of running the casino, buys $DGN back on-chain, every wager, every currency. We keep 3%. The more the house earns, the more it buys back.
Place a bet on any game or sport, any size, any currency.
Slots, tables, crash, live sports. The house keeps its edge, round after round.
More players and bigger volume across the casino and sportsbook mean more revenue flowing through the house.
97% of that net revenue buys $DGN back on the open market, every bet, every sport, every currency.
The repurchased $DGN is burned on-chain, permanently. Supply only ever falls.
Fewer tokens against the same revenue, so every holder's slice keeps growing. Then it repeats.
Every burn pulls $DGN off the market for good. Supply only falls, the buyback never stops, so steady buying meets a shrinking pool of coins.
Hold, and let the house work for you. 97% of net revenue buys, the supply burns, and neither one stops. The longer you hold, the more that compounds.
TOKENOMICS
1,000,000,000 $DGN, fixed supply, no inflation. Half of it goes straight to players and the community: a 31% genesis airdrop and player-rewards pool, NFT holders, the buyback seed, and the creators and affiliates who grow the platform. The public sale is 16%, open to everyone at the same price, no VCs and no private rounds. 14% is locked as liquidity to keep $DGN tradeable. The team holds 12%, locked a year then vested over three, leaner than Hyperliquid's 23.8%. No insider pricing, no conflict of interest. Players, creators and the team are all pointed at one goalpost: the success of $DGN.
WHY WE'RE ALL IN
A player-owned casino only works if the revenue underneath it is real and dependable. It is. Every game carries a house edge, and across millions of bets that edge is close to a mathematical certainty. Bet limits exist precisely so no single wager can swing the outcome, which turns that edge into steady, real margin instead of luck. That margin funds the buyback. This isn't a promotion that runs dry, it's the oldest business model in the world, finally pointed at the players instead of away from them.
HOW WE COMPARE
Everyone else runs financial gymnastics to drive the least possible value to their token. Degens is steering hard in the other direction. A buyback only counts if it applies to the bets people actually place, so Degens runs it on every wager in every currency, while most rivals only burn on bets denominated in their own token, a sliver of real volume. Follow the money:
The thicker the band, the more of that casino's revenue reaches its token.
Seven months after launch Shuffle moved its larger burn stream into a weekly lottery, so the buyback now fires only on bets placed in $SHFL, a fraction of volume. The 15% lottery is paid in $SHFL and stake-weighted, and insiders were allocated the majority of supply (team 25% plus a 31% treasury spent at its own discretion), so much of it cycles back to the team, not players. Remind me who owns the majority of the token again..
Rollbit buys back RLB with 10% of casino, 20% of sports and 30% of futures revenue; casino is the bulk, so roughly 10% of revenue feeds the buyback. 90% of that is burned (~9% reaches RLB), 10% goes to NFT stakers. From Rollbit's whitepaper.
Stake is the biggest crypto casino in the world, $4.7B of gross gaming revenue in 2024, and it has no token at all. Players generate every dollar of it and own none of the house.
A buyback is dependable. A lottery is a gamble. The gamble belongs in your casino experience, not the token's design.
Even the slice that does reach the token has to outrun the people who got in for free. Supply in insider hands is sell pressure: the more there is, the faster it dumps into the buyback, soaking up the buying so the price never moves. Shuffle handed insiders about 65%. Rollbit won't say at all, so you can't even size what's waiting to sell. Degens' 29%, across team, treasury and the ecosystem budget, is all locked or vested, none of it liquid at launch, so there's no free float to dump into the bid. Every dollar of buying lifts the price instead of paying for an insider's exit.
Every casino takes 100% of the bets. The difference is how much comes back to you.
Here's how the biggest crypto casinos stack up against Degens, line by line.
Now you've seen where the money flows. Where are you going to place your bet?
