How much BNB do you need?

  • For gas fees: Keep ~$1-2 worth of BNB for transaction fees

  • For House Funding: Any amount (but remember it's permanent)

  • For staking: You'll need $LUCKY tokens (acquired separately)

  • Network Name: Binance Smart Chain

  • RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/

  • Chain ID: 56

  • Currency Symbol: BNB

  • Block Explorer: https://bscscan.com

Most wallets have BSC pre-configured, but you may need to switch to it manually.


Understanding Rounds

B-Lucky operates in sequential rounds. Each round is identified by a unique Draw ID behind the scenes.

What is a Round?

A round is a complete lottery cycle:

Round Start → Ticket Sales → Draw Request → Numbers Drawn → Winners Submit & Claim → Round End

What is a Draw ID?

The Draw ID is simply a number that identifies each round:

  • Draw ID 0 = First round

  • Draw ID 1 = Second round

  • Draw ID 2 = Third round

  • And so on...

Why does this matter?

  • When you buy a ticket or a bundle of tickets, it's valid for a specific Round thus Draw ID

Current Round Information

The dApp always displays:

  • Prize Pool - Total amount to be won this round

  • Time Until Draw - When tickets sales close and the draw happens

  • Ticket Price - Cost per ticket for the current round


Entry Prices & Fees

How Pricing Works

When you buy a ticket or a bundle of tickets, you pay:

  1. Ticket Price - The base cost that funds the prize pool

  2. Small Fee - A percentage that goes to protocol revenue

Example:

  • Ticket Price: 0.01 BNB

  • Fee: 10% (0.001 BNB)

  • Total Cost: 0.011 BNB per ticket

The ticket price funds the next round's prize pool, while fees are distributed to:

  • House Funding depositors

  • $LUCKY token stakers

  • Protocol development

Multiple Tickets = a Bundle = Automatic Calculation

If you select extra numbers (creating multiple tickets in one grid), the cost is automatically calculated:

  • 1 ticket = 1x price

  • 3 tickets = 3x price

  • 10 tickets = 10x price

The dApp shows you the exact total of your entire bundle before you confirm.

Gas Fees

In addition to the ticket price, you'll pay gas fees to the BSC network (not to B-Lucky):

  • Typical gas fee: ~$0.10 - $0.50 USD equivalent

  • Gas fees fluctuate based on network congestion

  • Gas fees are higher when bundles with multiple tickets are bought

  • Your wallet shows gas fees before confirming transactions

🔒 Fairness Guarantee
