Introduction
Welcome to Taxino
Taxino is a Solana-native online crypto casino with no house edge, powered by the $TAXINO tax token.
Traditional casinos make money by building a house edge into their games. Over time, the math guarantees that the house wins and players lose. Taxino flips that model:
Zero House Edge Games
The games are designed so their expected value is 0 for the player – there is no house edge built into the odds.
Transfer Tax Funding
The platform is funded by a 10% transfer tax on trades of the $TAXINO token.
Holder Rewards
50% of every transfer tax goes to $TAXINO holders in SOL, and 50% goes to the Taxino platform to sustain the casino.
Taxino is built for people on Solana who like to gamble, want fair odds, and like the idea that token holders sit in the seat where the house used to sit.
"The first casino that pays its users."
The house is dead. Long live the holders.

System Architecture
The three main components of Taxino
At a high level, Taxino consists of three main components:
1. $TAXINO Token Layer
- SPL token on Solana with built-in transfer tax logic
- Tracks transfers, calculates tax, and routes into holder rewards pool and platform treasury
2. Rewards Engine
- Aggregates the holder share of collected tax
- Converts that portion into SOL
- On a 15-minute cycle, calculates reward splits and airdrops SOL to eligible holders
3. Casino Platform
- Web application for connecting wallet and playing games
- Game engine configures payouts so expected value for players is 0
- Integrates provably fair system with commit-reveal verification
Key Design Principle
Separation of concerns: The token produces revenue via trading, the casino consumes no edge from games, and the rewards engine fairly distributes holder revenue in SOL.
Tokenomics
Token details and economic model
4.1 Token Details
4.2 Transfer Tax
Every time $TAXINO is bought or sold, a 10% tax is applied to the transfer amount.
The 10% transfer tax is the only economic "edge" in the system.
4.3 Tax Allocation
The 10% transfer tax is split equally:
Holder Rewards Pool
- Converted to SOL rewards
- Distributed every 15 minutes
- For eligible $TAXINO holders
Platform Treasury
- Casino operations & maintenance
- Marketing and growth
- Future features & improvements
4.4 Initial Distribution
Distribution details to be announced. Taxino is planned as a fair launch on DEX with no CEX listing at launch.
Exact allocation details will be published before deployment.
Holder Rewards Mechanism
How SOL rewards are calculated and distributed
5.1 Eligibility
To receive SOL rewards from the transfer tax, a wallet must:
Hold at least 1,000,000 $TAXINO
Be holding at the time each 15-minute distribution cycle is processed
5.2 Reward Cycle
The reward distribution follows a continuous cycle every 15 minutes:
Tax Collection
For every token transfer, a 10% tax is collected. The holder share (50%) is set aside as rewards value.
SOL Conversion
The holder share of tax is regularly converted into SOL, forming the reward pool for the next distribution period.
Snapshot & Weighting
At each 15-minute interval, the system takes a snapshot of all wallets holding ≥ 1,000,000 $TAXINO and calculates each wallet's share based on: holder_balance / total_eligible_supply
Distribution
SOL is sent directly to eligible wallets – no manual claiming, no staking interface required.
Repeat
After each distribution, the process repeats, using newly collected tax from fresh $TAXINO volume.
5.3 Example
If during a 15-minute window:
If you hold 2% of all eligible $TAXINO (above the threshold):
Your share of that cycle's 50 SOL = 1 SOL
5.4 Notes & Risks
Rewards depend entirely on token trading volume. If volume is low, rewards will be low.
Holding more $TAXINO increases your share, but does not guarantee profit.
Rewards are not yield farming or a guaranteed return – they are a share of actual fee revenue.
Casino Mechanics
Games, zero edge design, and deposits/withdrawals
6.1 Games at Launch
The initial casino lobby is planned to include:
Blackjack
Roulette
Plinko
Additional classic casino & arcade-style games as feasible. All games are played using $TAXINO as the in-casino currency.
6.2 Zero House Edge
Games are configured to have 0 expected house edge.
That means:
Over a very large number of rounds, the casino is not mathematically favoured over the player.
Individual players can still win or lose heavily in the short term.
The platform revenue comes from $TAXINO transfer tax, not from an advantage in game odds.
6.3 Example: Zero-Edge Roulette
As a simple conceptual example:
Expected value (EV) for a 1-unit bet:
EV = (1/37 × 36) + (36/37 × –1)
EV = (36/37) – (36/37) = 0
By configuring payouts like this for each game, Taxino targets 0 house edge. Exact implementations and configurations will be published for each game before launch.
6.4 Deposits & Withdrawals
Deposits
- Users deposit $TAXINO to play
- All bets, wins, and losses are denominated in $TAXINO
Withdrawals
- Users withdraw $TAXINO back to their wallet
- Any conversion between SOL and $TAXINO happens outside the casino via DEX trading
Fairness & Provably Fair Design
Commit-reveal scheme and verification
Planned model – to be implemented by casino launch.
Taxino aims to implement a provably fair system based on a commit–reveal scheme:
Server Seed & Hash
The server generates a random server seed. The hash of this server seed is shown to the player before games are played (commitment).
Client Seed
The player's browser uses a client seed, visible to the player. Players may be allowed to customise this seed.
Nonce (Round Counter)
Each bet increments a nonce (0, 1, 2, 3, …).
Outcome Calculation
The game result is generated using a function of all three: outcome = RNG(serverSeed, clientSeed, nonce). The RNG algorithm and mapping will be publicly documented.
Seed Reveal
After the server rotates to a new seed, it reveals the old server seed. Anyone can hash the server seed and check it matches the original hash, then recompute the outcome.
Verification Tools
Taxino will provide a 'Provably Fair' page describing the system, a verification tool where users can input seeds + nonce, and open-source code for independent verification.
The Goal
The goal is that any player can verify that:
The outcome was not generated after the fact
The platform did not selectively change random seeds to adjust results
User Flow
Getting started and using the platform
8.1 Getting Started
Install a Solana wallet (e.g. Phantom, Solflare, Backpack)
Acquire SOL on an exchange or via on-ramp
Swap SOL for $TAXINO on a Solana DEX after fair launch
(Optional) Accumulate ≥ 1,000,000 $TAXINO to be eligible for SOL rewards
8.2 Using the Casino

Risk, Compliance & Disclaimers
Important legal and regulatory information
No Guarantees
$TAXINO is a crypto asset. Its value can go up or down. There is no guarantee of profit, even if you receive SOL rewards.
Casino Risk
Gambling always carries risk. Even with no house edge, players can lose money. Individual outcomes are still random, and losing streaks are possible.
Regulation
Online gambling and the use of crypto assets may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions. Users are fully responsible for complying with local laws and regulations.
Team & Anonymity
Taxino is launching as a crypto-native, anonymous team. The focus is on transparent mechanics and open documentation rather than personalities. This carries additional risk; users should take this into account before participating.
Not Financial Advice
Nothing in these docs should be considered investment, legal, or tax advice. Always do your own research and never use funds you cannot afford to lose.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Taxino make money if there's no house edge?
The platform is funded by a 10% transfer tax on $TAXINO trades. 50% of that tax goes to the platform treasury, which pays for operations, development, and growth. The casino does not rely on player losses to make money.
Can I still lose money playing on Taxino?
Yes. A zero house edge does not mean 'you can't lose'. It means the games are not mathematically skewed in the casino's favour. Short-term outcomes can still be highly volatile.
How do I earn SOL rewards?
Hold ≥ 1,000,000 $TAXINO in your wallet. A share of each 10% transfer tax is converted into SOL and distributed every 15 minutes to eligible holders, proportional to their holdings relative to total eligible supply.
Do I need to stake my tokens to earn rewards?
No. Rewards are designed to be automatically airdropped to eligible wallets – no manual claiming is required.
Which wallets are supported?
Any SPL-compatible Solana wallet should work. Popular options include Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack.
Is Taxino available in my country?
Taxino is a crypto platform accessible via the internet. Users must determine whether participating in online gambling and using crypto assets is legal in their own jurisdiction.
Is the casino live now?
Initially, only the $TAXINO token and rewards engine launch. The casino lobby is planned to launch approximately one week later, with details and timelines shared on the official channels.
