The Game DAO Whitepaper

The Game DAO is home to the USDT Weekly, a lottery on BNB Smart Chain. Enter for 5 USDT, and if your entry is drawn, your prize goes straight to your wallet.

Start as a player, then go further: earn from referrals, mint and stake a membership NFT, and use BNGX, the DAO’s governance token, to have your say on proposals. Every draw and every NFT mint also helps fund the DAO treasury: it receives 5% of each USDT Weekly prize pool and 100%* of each membership NFT mint.

*Less the 10% platform fee charged on each NFT mint.

  • One button, 5 USDT

    No numbers to pick: press, confirm twice in your wallet (plus a free sign-in signature once every 7 days), and you’re in.

  • Up to 21 winners

    A jackpot winner and up to 20 runners-up each draw.

  • Straight to your wallet

    Winners are paid in USDT in the transaction that picks them. Nothing to claim.

  • Verifiable random numbers

    Chainlink VRF supplies the random numbers, with a proof checked on-chain.

  • Over 2,300 USDT paid out

    So far our lotteries have paid out 2,321 USDT in prizes.

  • Earn by sharing

    0.25 USDT for every USDT Weekly entry made through your link.

PT.1

The USDT Weekly lottery

Each entry costs 5 USDT and is one ticket in the next draw. Of the 5 USDT, 4.50 USDT goes into the prize pool and 0.50 USDT (10%) is the platform fee.

How to enter

  1. Connect a wallet: use your email or phone for a built-in wallet, or connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet or WalletConnect. The site asks your wallet to switch to BNB Smart Chain.
  2. Sign in: a free signature in your wallet (not a transaction), once every 7 days.
  3. Have 5 USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20 USDT) for each entry, plus a little BNB for network fees (gas). USDT on other networks won’t work.
  4. Press “Enter for 5 USDT” and confirm twice in your wallet: first to approve the 5 USDT, then to enter. Each press is one entry.

Your chances

Your chance of the jackpot

Your entries ÷ all entries

  • Example: 4 of 40 entries is a 1 in 10 chance (10%).

Up to 20 runners-up win too, so each draw has up to 21 winners. Runner-up prizes are small in a quiet week and grow with the pool.

The weekly draw

Every Tuesday at 19:30 WAT (West Africa Time, 18:30 UTC) the round closes and Bullion Labs starts the draw or the rollover:

  • At least 30 entries: the draw runs. 30 is only the minimum: there’s no upper limit, and every extra entry makes the prize pool bigger. Chainlink VRF supplies 21 random numbers, and in that same transaction the contract picks the winners and pays them in USDT. Nothing to claim.
  • Fewer than 30 entries: no draw. Every entry and the whole prize pool roll over to the next week.

Chainlink VRF (v2.5) is a random-number service for blockchain apps. It delivers the numbers with a cryptographic proof, checked on-chain before the lottery contract can use them.

How the prize pool is shared

Each draw pays out the whole pool, rollovers and bonuses included:

  • 70%Jackpot winner
  • 20%Shared equally by up to 20 runners-up
  • 5%DAO treasury
  • 5%NFT staking contract

Each runner-up is a different wallet, drawn at random: one prize per wallet, and never the jackpot winner.

Example: no rollover or bonus

102,000 entries make a 459,000 USDT prize pool, so the jackpot (70%) is 321,300 USDT.

  • At the minimum of 30 entries, the pool is 135 USDT and the jackpot 94.50 USDT.

Team bonuses and track record

The team boosts prize pools with bonuses: it added 100 USDT to the USDT Weekly’s pool on 14 August 2026. So far our lotteries have paid out 2,321 USDT in prizes: 6 jackpots and 118 runner-up prizes.

Where the money sits

The prize pool is held by the lottery contract, not a team wallet, and the contract has no function to withdraw it. The site shows the live pool, including any team bonus, and links every entry to BscScan, the public blockchain explorer.

Refer and earn

Earn 0.25 USDT, half the platform fee, for every USDT Weekly entry made through your link. It’s paid to your wallet in the same transaction as the entry.

  1. On the Referrals page, enter your BNB Smart Chain wallet address and X (Twitter) handle, then press “Generate my link”. Your link is https://thegamedao.com/?ref= followed by your address.
  2. Share it. Rewards go to the wallet in the link, so check the address carefully.

Good to know

  • Friends pay nothing extra, and you earn on every USDT Weekly entry they make through your link, win or lose.
  • Friends need to enter from the page your link opens. The site doesn’t remember your link, so if they come back later, they need to open it again.
  • You can’t refer yourself: the contract rejects entries made through your own link.

Our DAO

The DAO holds a shared treasury that BNGX holders govern: money leaves it only through a proposal that passes an on-chain vote. The treasury sits in the DAO contract itself, an on-chain governor (thirdweb VoteERC20, built on OpenZeppelin Governor). The contract has no admin and can’t be upgraded.

How the treasury is funded

  • 5% of every USDT Weekly prize pool, paid at each draw.
  • 100%* of every membership NFT mint.

*Less the 10% platform fee charged on each NFT mint.

The home page shows the treasury’s live balances.

How governance works

  1. Press “Delegate tokens” on the site to switch on your BNGX’s voting power. Votes count only BNGX delegated before the proposal was created.
  2. Anyone with delegated BNGX can propose from the site. A proposal can spend BNB, BNGX or USDT from the treasury, change a DAO setting, or be a text proposal.
  3. Press “View proposals” to see every proposal. Open one to read it in full, see the current votes, and vote For, Against or Abstain. Voting lasts 604,800 blocks, about 3 days at today’s block speed.
  4. A proposal passes if For beats Against and For plus Abstain reach 40% of all BNGX (40,000,000).

As of November 2026, no proposal has been made, and the quorum is out of reach. Most BNGX sits in the PancakeSwap pool, the DAO treasury or Bullion Labs’ vesting contract. See token distribution

Who runs what

Bullion Labs runs the lottery: it starts each draw or rollover and manages the lottery contract’s settings. The DAO treasury is governed by BNGX holders. Bullion Labs also manages the membership NFT sale and the staking contracts, but it can’t move DAO treasury funds or staked NFTs.

BNGX token distribution

BNGX is the DAO’s governance token on BNB Smart Chain (on-chain name “BullionDAOGov”, 18 decimals). Its supply is fixed at 100,000,000: the admin and minter roles were renounced, so no more BNGX can ever be created.

Token contract: 0xbda161E60c7d48f7A2eE5a98402035dBb2DaF257 (opens in a new tab). The full supply was allocated like this:

PT.3

Membership NFTs and staking

The membership NFT (on-chain name “Bullion DAO Membership”, BNGM) is an ERC-1155 NFT on BNB Smart Chain. Staking puts your NFTs in the Staking V3 contract, where they share any BNB and USDT rewards deposited there. Voting uses BNGX, not the NFT.

Minting

  • Mint (buy new) NFTs in the site’s Mint section, open now: 1 BNB each, up to 1,000 per wallet.
  • 100%* of each mint goes straight to the DAO treasury.

*Less the 10% platform fee charged on each NFT mint.

Staking

  • Stake from the site’s Staking V3 panel: one press stakes every membership NFT you hold (confirm twice in your wallet).
  • You can unstake any time after a 21-day minimum.
  • A wallet holds one stake at a time: to add NFTs you mint later, unstake and stake again.
  • Claim your BNB and USDT rewards on the site before you unstake, because claims only work while you’re staked.

How rewards are shared

BNB rewards

Your staked NFTs ÷ 10,000

  • Your share of each BNB deposit; the share of unstaked or unminted NFTs goes to the DAO treasury.

USDT rewards

Your staked NFTs ÷ all staked NFTs

  • Your share of each USDT deposit, which goes to staked NFTs only.

Membership NFT distribution

The membership NFT collection is capped at 10,000, allocated like this:

  • 7,000 for the public mint
  • 1,000 for Bullion Labs
  • 1,000 for contributors
  • 1,000 for free airdrops to early players
