# House Funding
**Become an investor in the lottery and earn passive income from every game played.**
***
## What is House Funding?
House Funding allows you to **invest BNB directly into the lottery protocol** and earn a share of the revenue generated by ticket sales - forever.
### The Concept
Think of it like becoming a **shareholder in a casino**:
* Players buy tickets and play the lottery
* Protocol collects fees from every ticket
* Fee revenue is distributed to House Funding investors
* The more people play, the more you earn
**Key difference from playing:**
* Playing = Chance to win big prizes
* House Funding = Steady, passive income from protocol revenue
***
## How House Funding Works
### The Investment Model
### When you deposit
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
* **Your BNB is added** to the House Funding pool
* **You receive a share proportional to all the funds ever deposited in** the pool
* **65% of the Protocol revenue flows in** from ticket fees and prizes, after every draw
* **You earn BNB** based on your share percentage
* **Earnings accumulate** automatically
* **Claim your rewards** whenever you want
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### Revenue Sources
**Where House Funding revenue comes from:**
✅ **Ticket Fees**
* Small fee on every ticket purchased
* Consistent revenue stream
* Scales with player volume
✅ **Prize Fees**
* Fee on claimed prizes
* Percentage of all winnings
* Adds to revenue pool
**Revenue split:**
* House Funding depositors get a share
* $LUCKY stakers get a share
* Split ratio managed by protocol admins
***
{% hint style="danger" %}
CRITICAL: This is a Permanent Investment
* Your deposited BNB CANNOT be withdrawn.
* You CANNOT get your principal back.
* This is PERMANENT and IRREVERSIBLE.
* There is NO exit mechanism.
This is BY DESIGN — it is what makes the model work.
{% endhint %}
### What You CAN Do
✅ **Claim your earnings** - Anytime, any amount\
✅ **Earn forever** - As long as the protocol runs\
✅ **Receive your share** - Of all future revenue
Think of it as:
* Buying a revenue-generating asset
* Acquiring a permanent yield position
* Long-term investment commitment
***
## Who Should Use House Funding?
### ✅ Good For:
* Long-term believers in B-Lucky
* You believe the protocol will succeed
* You want steady passive income
* You're comfortable with permanent capital lock
* Passive income seekers
* Automated earnings without playing
* Prefer predictable returns over gambling
* Risk-tolerant investors
* Can afford to lock capital permanently
* See long-term potential
* High-conviction participants
* Bullish on lottery growth
* Thinking years, not months
### ❌ NOT Good For:
* Anyone who might need the money back (emergency funds, short-term capital)
* Risk-averse investors who need liquidity
* Uncertain participants still evaluating the protocol
***
## Understanding Your Share
### How Your Share is Calculated
```
Your Share % = Your Deposit / Total House Funding Deposits
```
Example:
* Total funds deposited in the pool: 1,000 BNB
* You deposit: 10 BNB
* Your share: 1% (10 / 1,000)
Your earnings:
```
Your Earnings = Total Revenue distributed to House Funding × Your Share %
```
If protocol earns 100 BNB in fees:
* Your earnings: 100 BNB × 1% = 1 BNB
### Share Dilution
When others deposit:
* Total pool increases
* Your share percentage decreases
Example:
* You deposited: 10 BNB (10% of 100 BNB pool)
* Someone deposits: 400 BNB
* New pool: 500 BNB
* Your new share: 2% (10 / 500)
Why this is okay:
* Bigger pool = more revenue generation potential
* More players attracted by bigger prizes
* Network effects benefit everyone
### Early Depositor Advantage
The earlier you deposit, the better:
* Larger initial share of the pool
* More accumulated earnings over time
* Compounding effect benefits
* Maximum long-term rewards
Time in the pool matters.

## Understanding Returns
### What Affects Your Returns
Factors that increase returns:
* More players = More ticket sales = More fees
* Bigger prizes = More attraction = More players
* Longer time in pool = More accumulated earnings
* Larger share = Bigger percentage of revenue
Factors that decrease returns:
* Fewer players = Less revenue
* More House Funding deposits = Share dilution
* Bear market = Less crypto activity generally
### Expected Returns
Scenarios:
* Best case: High player activity, growing popularity, significant APY possible
* Typical: Steady player base, consistent revenue, moderate returns
* Worst case: Low activity, minimal revenue
Important: Returns are NOT guaranteed and will fluctuate.
### Comparing to Other Options
* House Funding vs Playing: Playing = high risk/high reward; House Funding = steady income with permanent lock
* House Funding vs Staking: House Funding = permanent, BNB-based; Staking = flexible, requires $LUCKY tokens
* House Funding vs DeFi: House Funding = revenue-based, permanent lock, no impermanent loss; DeFi = varied risk and flexibility

## Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ever withdraw my deposited BNB?
No. This is a permanent investment. You can only claim accumulated rewards, never the principal.
What happens if the protocol shuts down?
In an emergency shutdown scenario, procedures would be determined by the protocol governance. This is an extreme risk to consider.
Can I sell my House Funding position?
Positions can be transferred to another wallet.
How often should I claim rewards?
Balance frequency with gas costs. Consider claiming when accumulated rewards significantly exceed gas fees.
Is there a maximum I can deposit?
Generally no maximum, but check the dApp for any limits.
How is this different from staking $LUCKY?
House Funding uses BNB and is permanent. Staking uses $LUCKY tokens and is flexible. Both earn from protocol revenue.
What if BNB price drops?
Your share percentage doesn't change, but the USD/fiat value of your position and earnings would be affected by BNB price.
Can I deposit more later?
Yes! You can make additional deposits anytime, increasing your share.
