# 15. Custodial Accounts & Non-Crypto Experience

Not every player needs to use crypto to enjoy **Legend of Cuco**. The ecosystem is designed for full inclusivity — ensuring that anyone can play, redeem, and participate, regardless of blockchain familiarity.

***

### Custodial Accounts

* Non-crypto users can scan codes, redeem prizes, and hold rewards in a custodial Cuco account (managed via backend ledger).
* These accounts mirror on-chain balances transparently, allowing users to upgrade to self-custody at any time.
* Players may later withdraw assets to their personal wallet or request a fiat payout (KYC required for larger amounts).

***

### Payout Options

* Small prizes may be fulfilled through digital vouchers, merchandise, or in-game bonuses.
* Larger prizes require verified identity for compliance and can be paid via fiat or on-chain transfer.
* This dual-path payout system ensures legal compliance while maintaining global accessibility.

***

### Redemption Portal

* The Cuco web dApp supports both wallet connection (for crypto-native users) **and** secure email/password custodial flows.
* Custodial users experience identical gameplay, rewards, and event access — only differing in custody model.
* Seamless upgrades from custodial to self-custodied wallets are supported, ensuring long-term user retention.

### Inclusivity & Transparency

This hybrid approach reduces friction and broadens the market reach while maintaining on-chain transparency where desired. It ensures that **anyone, anywhere** can play, collect, and win — with or without prior blockchain knowledge.
