LTB Rewards

LTB token rewards provide additional value for USDC players, regardless of their match outcome.

Who Earns LTB Rewards?

Only players who bet with USDC earn LTB rewards.

Payment Method	Earns LTB?
USDC bet	Yes
LTB bet	No

This creates a clear incentive structure:

• USDC bets: Risk stablecoins, earn tokens

• LTB bets: Use tokens to play, tokens return to pool

Reward Tiers

LTB rewards are earned for 0, 1, 2, or 3 matches. Matching all 4 (jackpot) awards no LTB—you get the USDC jackpot instead.

Matches	LTB Reward
0	Smallest
1	Small
2	Medium
3	Largest
4	None (Jackpot winner)

Dynamic Reward Calculation

LTB rewards are dynamically calculated based on the contract's LTB balance. This creates a self-balancing system.

Reward Percentages

Each reward tier is a percentage of the contract's current LTB balance:

Matches	Percentage of Balance
0	0.002478%
1	0.003717%
2	0.012432%
3	0.049686%

Example Calculation

If the contract holds 100,000,000 LTB (100M tokens):

Matches	Calculation	Reward
0	100M × 0.00002478	2,478 LTB
1	100M × 0.00003717	3,717 LTB
2	100M × 0.00012432	12,432 LTB
3	100M × 0.00049686	49,686 LTB

The 2.1x Configuration

The reward percentages follow a "2.1x configuration" where rewards approximately double with each additional match (plus a bonus):

Match 1 reward ≈ 1.5× Match 0 reward
Match 2 reward ≈ 3.3× Match 1 reward
Match 3 reward ≈ 4.0× Match 2 reward

This creates meaningful progression while keeping rewards sustainable.

Why 0 Matches Earns Rewards

Even with zero matches, USDC players receive LTB tokens. This serves as:

1. Consolation prize: Softens the blow of losing

2. Participation reward: Encourages continued play

3. Token distribution: Spreads LTB to active players

4. Value retention: Players always get something for their bet

Reward Flow

When you play with USDC:

1. Bet placed with USDC
2. VRF generates random numbers
3. Match count calculated
4. LTB reward calculated (% of current balance)
5. LTB transferred to your wallet
6. USDC prize transferred (if any matches)

Checking Current Rewards

On the App

Expected LTB rewards are displayed before placing your bet.

On-Chain

Call these view functions:

// Get reward for specific match count
function getLtbReward(uint8 matches) external view returns (uint256)

// Get all rewards at once
function getLtbRewards() external view returns (
    uint256 reward0,
    uint256 reward1,
    uint256 reward2,
    uint256 reward3
)

Reward Sustainability

The dynamic reward system ensures sustainability:

• Low balance: Smaller rewards preserve tokens

• High balance: Larger rewards distribute excess

• Self-balancing: Rewards scale with available supply

Combined with the seesaw mechanics from LTB plays, the system maintains equilibrium.
