Qzino: Redefining Crypto Gambling Through Profit-Sharing
The global iGaming industry is undergoing one of the most profound transformations in its history. From land-based casinos to centralized online platforms, the market is now shifting toward blockchain-powered ecosystems that prioritize transparency, speed, and global accessibility. According to Statista and H2 Gambling Capital, global online gambling revenue exceeded $95 billion in 2024, with crypto-enabled platforms among the fastest-growing segments.
Despite this rapid evolution, the core business model of most online casinos remains unchanged: players generate value through their activity, while platforms retain nearly all long-term upside. Even within crypto iGaming, where decentralization is often highlighted, real economic participation for users is still rare.
Qzino enters the market with a fundamentally different philosophy. Rather than operating solely as a crypto casino, Qzino is designed as a profit-sharing iGaming ecosystem, where players, token holders, and affiliates directly participate in platform-generated revenue. This approach addresses one of the industry’s longest-standing trust issues — the disconnect between platform success and user benefit.
What Is Qzino?
Qzino is a next-generation crypto casino and gaming ecosystem built around ownership, transparency, and sustainable token economics. The platform provides access to more than 10,000 games, including slots, live casino titles, exclusive Qzino Originals, and blockchain-integrated house games. In addition, Qzino will offer sports betting, expanding the platform beyond classic casino formats and allowing users to engage with both traditional and crypto-native betting markets in one ecosystem.
However, Qzino’s true differentiation lies not in the size of its game library, but in how value flows through the platform.
At the center of the ecosystem is the QZI token, which functions not as a symbolic utility token, but as a real profit-sharing instrument. By holding QZI, users participate in the platform’s revenue — even when they’re not playing actively. This structure fundamentally changes the relationship between players and the casino, aligning long-term incentives instead of relying solely on wagering volume.
A Simple Explanation of Qzino’s Profit-Sharing Model
Traditional casinos earn when players lose. Qzino operates differently.
Qzino distributes 30% of its Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) directly to the community. This means that a significant portion of the platform’s profits is shared with QZI token holders on a daily basis. Even on days when you don’t place bets, simply holding QZI allows you to earn from the overall performance of the platform.
In addition to profit sharing, 3% of the staking pool is distributed daily to QZI token holders, creating an additional layer of passive income. This makes QZI not just a speculative asset, but a revenue-generating token tied to real platform activity.
In simple terms:
- The platform earns revenue from gameplay.
- A fixed share of that revenue is redistributed.
- Token holders benefit from growth — regardless of individual betting behavior.
Cashback and Rakeback: One of Qzino’s Strongest Value Propositions
Beyond profit sharing and staking, Qzino introduces one of the most competitive cashback and rakeback systems in the crypto iGaming market.
The Qzino VIP Club is built with a single mission: to reward loyalty with real, tangible value. Players can receive:
- Cashback of up to 40%, paid twice a week with no limits
- Rakeback of up to 15%, automatically applied to every bet
Whether a user is a high roller or a consistent long-term player, activity on the platform translates into measurable crypto rewards. This system significantly reduces volatility for players and reinforces Qzino’s focus on sustainability rather than short-term extraction.
Built-In Mining From Day One
From launch, Qzino features an integrated mining mechanism that allows users to start earning immediately — even before profit-sharing, token rewards, and lottery mechanics go live. Mining is seamlessly embedded into platform activity and gameplay, requiring no hardware or technical setup. This ensures a fair, community-driven distribution of QZI tokens and rewards early participants for active engagement, allowing users to build their token position ahead of staking and long-term profit-sharing.
Security, Transparency, and Trust
Security and trust remain central challenges in iGaming. Qzino employs enterprise-grade encryption alongside blockchain-based transaction infrastructure to ensure data protection and financial integrity. On-chain mechanisms allow transparent tracking of reward distribution, while provably fair systems reinforce confidence in gameplay outcomes.
By minimizing opaque internal processes and maximizing verifiable mechanisms, Qzino addresses one of the industry’s most persistent concerns: whether players can truly trust the platform they are engaging with.
Affiliate Program and Revenue Sharing at Scale
Qzino extends its profit-sharing philosophy to affiliates. The affiliate program offers up to 35% lifetime revenue share, allowing partners to earn from referred users indefinitely. Sub-affiliate structures and transparent analytics further support scalable, long-term growth.
Instead of relying on short-term CPA models, Qzino positions affiliates as ecosystem partners whose success is directly tied to platform performance. This approach reflects a broader shift in iGaming toward sustainable, relationship-driven growth.
A New Category in Web3 iGaming
Qzino represents more than another crypto casino. It introduces a new category within Web3 iGaming — one where entertainment and ownership converge.
By redistributing 30% of platform profits, providing industry-leading cashback and rakeback, and expanding into sports betting, Qzino challenges the traditional casino model at a structural level.
As the global iGaming market continues to grow, platforms that align incentives, prioritize transparency, and offer real economic participation are likely to define the industry’s next phase. Qzino is positioned as a long-term profit-sharing ecosystem built for that future.

Paf has halved its loss limit since 2018
Nordic gaming operator Paf is taking another decisive step toward responsible gambling by lowering its mandatory annual loss limit for all customers from €16,000 to €15,000. The move is part of a long-term strategy focused on sustainability, player protection, and ethical revenue growth.
With this latest reduction, Paf has now cut its original loss limit—first introduced in 2018 at €30,000—by 50%. The mandatory cap applies across all gaming categories and to every platform operated by the company.
“We are extremely proud that through concrete actions and long-term investments in responsible gaming, we have now halved the first loss limit we introduced in 2018,” said Christer Fahlstedt, CEO of Paf. “It clearly demonstrates that we are serious about our ambition to be a sustainable entertainment company.”
Long-term ambition: €8,000 annual loss limit
The new €15,000 threshold represents another step toward Paf’s previously stated long-term goal of lowering the annual loss limit to €8,000 per player.
“We have been transparent about our ambition to lead the development toward a healthier gaming market,” Fahlstedt added. “Unlike many operators, we are prepared to say no to revenue that comes from unsustainable gaming. However, this transition must happen gradually to ensure long-term stability in a highly competitive market.”
High-intensity player segments phased out
As part of the reduction, Paf will continue to reshape its customer segmentation model. Revenue from the so-called orange segment—players with annual losses between €15,000 and €30,000—will be phased out entirely over time.
Paf has already eliminated revenue from its red segment, which previously consisted of customers losing more than €30,000 annually. The latest changes further reinforce the company’s shift away from high-intensity gambling behavior toward more sustainable play levels.
“Removing the orange segment is a deliberate and important decision,” said Daniela Johansson, Deputy CEO and Chief Responsibility Officer at Paf. “It clearly signals that we do not want revenue that isn’t sustainable over time—especially when our mission is to create long-term benefits for society.”
Call for shared limits across the industry
In addition to mandatory loss limits, Paf customers can set their own voluntary lower limits. While these safeguards have proven effective in curbing harmful behavior, Paf emphasizes that broader industry action is needed.
“Loss limits have a real and measurable impact on player behavior and can stop problems before they escalate,” Fahlstedt said. “But customers can easily switch operators. That’s why common national deposit limits are essential, and why unlicensed gambling must be addressed.”
Paf was the first international gaming operator to introduce mandatory loss limits, and the company continues to advocate for stronger, shared responsibility standards across regulated markets.
