Rollbit Coin
Rollbit Coin (RLB) was launched as a part of the Rollbit Lottery, a feature provided by Rollbit, a crypto casino. RLB is the deflationary utility token of the Rollbit ecosystem that can be used to unlock exclusive features and bonuses. [1][2]
Overview
Rollbit Coin was introduced as the reward for the Rollbit Lottery, where RLB stakers are able to enter into a lottery that takes place every 100 bitcoin blocks. In contrast to standard ICOs, RLB was entirely distributed via airdrops, following the practice of using airdrops to promote growth, engage the community, and reward early participants. Initially on Solana, RLB migrated to Ethereum in June 2023, due to performance limitations, aiming to elevate user experience and uphold a rewarding approach. RLB's trajectory has encompassed various stages since inception, including a notable shift in 2023 called the 'Buy & Burn' event, refining the token's deflation mechanism. [3][4][5]
Utility
Increased Rakeback
Rollbit is known for its casino rewards program. By enhancing this approach, RLB holders can increase their rakeback while engaging in casino activities. Rakeback constitutes a percentage of the house edge that users receive with each bet. By holding as little as $100 worth of RLB, players can escalate their rakeback by up to 10%, totaling a potential 15% rakeback. [6]
Reduced Trading Fees
With over $100 billion in total trading volume, Rollbit's crypto trading offers up to 1,000x leverage, optional fee structures, instant trade execution, zero slippage, and social features. Holding RLB tokens presents traders with exclusive fee reductions. The extent of the reduction depends on RLB holdings and the chosen fee structure. [7]
RLB Lottery
The RLB Lottery integrates RLB tokens as entry tickets for cash prize lotteries. Prize pools stem from a fraction of Rollbit's casino earnings. A minimum of 10 RLB qualifies for entry, with more RLB wagered increasing winning prospects. Lottery rounds, synchronized with Bitcoin block times, exhibit two draws: one for the lottery and one for the jackpot. Winners receive prizes in USD, with a maximum of one prize per round and specific distribution ratios. [8]
Prize Distribution
Prizes are distributed to winners as follows:
- 1st: 20% of the lottery prize pool
- 2nd: 15% of the lottery prize pool
- 3rd: 10% of the lottery prize pool
- 4th: 8% of the lottery prize pool
- 6th: 6% of the lottery prize pool
- 7th: 5% of the lottery prize pool
- 8th: 4% of the lottery prize pool
- 9th: 3% of the lottery prize pool
- 10th: 2% of the lottery prize pool
- 11th to 100th: 0.333% to 0.111% (in increments of 0.00247%) of the lottery prize pool.[9]

Crypto Influencers' Involvement with RLB
Gainzy
On September 18th, 2023, crypto influencer Gainzy decided to switch sponsorships, leaving Rollbit for Stake.com. Gainzy's move aligned him with renowned rapper Drake, who backs Stake.com and shares his gambling exploits with his massive Instagram following. Notably, Gainzy's announcement of his sponsorship change had a tangible impact on the price of RLB, leading to a 5.3% decline in Rollbit Coin's value.[17][18]
Grizzly
Grizzly, a prominent figure in the crypto community, examined Gainzy's journey, with a specific focus on his transition from Rollbit to Stake.com. In a thread on X (formerly known as Twitter), he pointed out that Gainzy had claimed to purchase $400,000 in RLB. However, a review of Gainzy's wallet history revealed that he sold this amount over a two-week period. Grizzly hinted that this could have been all part of Gainzy's way of promoting RLB, shedding light on the influence of influencer sponsorships in the crypto market and their broader implications. [19]
“Why is Gainzy shilling a token that he is actively dumping, through a mixer and to a new address (and not the original address). Surely must be for “liquidity” purposes." - Grizzly
Lucky
The owner of Rollbit Coin, "Lucky," garnered attention in the crypto community when he announced a new bonus structure for existing partners. He suggested that influencers promoting RLB could stand to earn $250,000 in tokens should the price of RLB reach $0.20 and sustain that value for a week. The prerequisite for this offer was regular organic tweets in support of RLB. [19]
