In January 2026, BC.GAME officially launched a new project plan to the community named Zero Edge.
This is a promotional campaign centered around "returning the house edge (HE)"; but if we delve deeper, from the plan's mechanism design, token issuance scale, and long-term platform strategy, the Zero Edge plan is likely to pose a significant challenge to the existing online gambling business model.
In the traditional gambling industry, the "house edge" or commonly referred to as "rake" is an unshakable underlying business logic, BC.GAME's new plan chooses to return it 100% to the players, undoubtedly sparking a lot of discussion within the industry.
💵 What is Zero Edge?
The official definition of Zero Edge is very straightforward: in designated BC Originals games, 100% of the house edge (HE) generated by players will be returned through the Tacoback mechanism in tradable BC tokens.
This means that, within the eligible betting limits, the platform "theoretically" no longer profits from these games. Of course, Zero Edge does not mean that players will necessarily profit; it simply brings the long-term expected value (Expected Value) back to zero.
BC.Game's Tacoback is not a direct rakeback, but a real-time settlement compensation system:
➡️ Tacoback ≈ Betting Amount × HE ÷ BC Token Spot Price
The core of this mechanism is that Tacoback's return does not depend on the actual win or loss outcome of the player, but is strictly based on the game's preset theoretical house edge (HE); meanwhile, the return is uniformly issued in BC tokens, thus the return is directly linked to the token market price, thereby affecting the final number of tokens received by the player.
💵 Is Zero Edge more than just a regular promotional event?
Unlike traditional incentive mechanisms, Zero Edge adopts a design logic of immediate settlement per bet. The event does not set additional tasks or unlock conditions, and players can directly receive returns within the eligible betting range.
However, Zero Edge is not a universal benefit open to all users, but is controlled through strict participation thresholds and limit mechanisms. Only users who have reached VIP level 5 or above are eligible to participate, and the entire plan operates on a UTC daily cycle, with a daily effective betting limit set for each player.
This limit is dynamically adjusted based on the player's current VIP level and betting behavior over the past seven days. From this design, it is clear that the core goal of Zero Edge is definitely not short-term customer acquisition.
In terms of issuance scale, BC.GAME has announced a total of 1 billion BC tokens reserved for settlement under the Zero Edge plan.
This scale clearly exceeds the scope of a conventional promotional budget, and since BC tokens themselves have a clear on-chain attribute, this dual circulation path likely means that BC.Game intends to continuously output on-chain assets through Zero Edge.
Moreover, on the token economy level, Tacoback's settlement logic creates a subtle linkage between BC token prices and platform activity: when BC prices are low, players can receive more tokens for the same betting size; when prices rise, the platform's token distribution pressure is correspondingly reduced.
This design obviously adjusts the platform's incentive intensity and system costs through token price fluctuations, in plain terms: 🔴 BC.Game, by spreading tokens and manipulation, might actually reduce the platform's incentive costs, thereby gaining greater benefits in multiple aspects.
The Zero Edge project is thus seen as a preliminary experiment by BC.GAME for a future decentralized gambling structure, to observe how user behavior, token price volatility, and overall system stability will evolve under the premise of the house edge being returned.
From the perspective of the iGaming industry, we believe that through the Zero Edge system, BC.GAME is essentially exploring the balance between tokens, incentive mechanisms, and platform asset structure under the Web3 gambling framework.
By introducing tokens into the return mechanism, the platform first restructures the way user incentives are distributed, and to some extent, leverages the market attributes of tokens to incorporate external liquidity and financial expectations into its own ecosystem, used to nourish the platform.
This model superficially benefits players, but from a deeper perspective, its result ➡️externalizes incentive costs while expanding its own asset size and influence, thereby further amplifying the platform's asset returns and ecological advantages.
For the entire iGaming industry, Zero Edge may not become a mainstream path that can be replicated, but it has already demonstrated a more financialized, structured possible direction—future Web3 online gambling platforms may no longer rely on the house edge for profit.
