Legal Entity & Jurisdiction

MyGoldenATM LLC is a limited liability company formed in the United States. The platform is operated by MyGoldenATM LLC.

Local licensing: Our Hall County business license application is in progress. We are disclosing this proactively so members and partners have accurate, up-to-date information.

Regulatory Status — What We Are Not

  • •Not a bank. MyGoldenATM is not a bank or depository institution and is not FDIC-insured.
  • •Not investment advice. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Consult a licensed professional.
  • •Not a security. Whips and WPC (Whiporwill Participation Coin) are utility participation rewards, not securities or investment contracts.
  • •Not a money transmitter. We do not transmit or exchange currency on behalf of third parties. Crypto top-offs, when available, are processed by Coinbase Commerce (a licensed MSB).

Regulatory Framework — GENIUS Act & CLARITY Act

Two emerging federal frameworks shape how digital assets are regulated in the United States. MyGoldenATM LLC monitors both and positions WPC and Whips as utility participation rewards that fall outside these frameworks.

GENIUS Act

The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoin issuers — requiring reserves, disclosures, and federal or state oversight. It governs tokens designed to maintain a stable value against the U.S. dollar.

CLARITY Act

The CLARITY Act clarifies how digital assets are classified between the SEC and CFTC, addressing which tokens are treated as securities versus commodities and how payment stablecoins fit into the regulatory landscape.

Our position:

  • •Not a stablecoin. WPC is not pegged to the dollar or any fiat currency and does not maintain a stable value. It is a utility participation reward, not a payment stablecoin under the GENIUS Act.
  • •Not a security. WPC is not an investment contract or security under the CLARITY Act or Howey test. Members do not invest money in a common enterprise with expectation of profit from the efforts of others.
  • •Utility participation rewards. Whips and WPC are earned through engagement and used within the MyGoldenATM ecosystem for perks, tips, and top-offs — not traded as financial instruments.

This summary is provided for transparency and reflects MyGoldenATM LLC's current understanding. It is not legal advice. We will update this section as the regulatory landscape evolves.

How Rewards Are Funded

Member rewards are funded by real platform revenue from these sources:

  • •Ad slots — advertisers pay $10 per 30-second spot per 1,000 views on the Daily Loop.
  • •Top-offs — members can purchase WPC top-offs via Stripe or crypto.
  • •Sponsor clicks — sponsors pay for member visits, a portion of which is credited as Whips.
  • •Bondabit pool — members sponsor the shared Bondabit pool and receive discretionary participation rewards.
  • •Artist tips & MP3 sales — members tip featured artists and purchase music.

Daily +1 WPC accrual (Oracle University path) is an engagement reward for active participation, not a return on deposited funds. Bondabit rewards are discretionary distributions from the shared pool, not a fixed payout schedule or guaranteed return.

Risk Disclosure

Participation rewards carry risk. Whips and WPC have no guaranteed cash value. The $0.20 reference rate is used internally and may change. Payouts are subject to admin review and available platform funds.

Do not deposit money you cannot afford to lose. Never share sensitive personal information (Social Security numbers, banking credentials, or private keys) except through official KYC channels managed by our regulated banking partner.

By using MyGoldenATM, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this risk disclosure.

Terms of Service

Acceptance. By creating an account or using any part of MyGoldenATM LLC ("MGATM," "we," "us"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

Participation rewards, not investments. Whips and WPC (Whiporwill Participation Coin) are utility participation rewards earned through engagement. They are not securities, investment contracts, or financial instruments. No reward has a guaranteed cash value. The $0.20 per WPC reference rate is internal, may change at any time, and does not create an obligation to redeem at that rate.

Discretionary rewards. All reward accrual, distribution, and redemption is at the sole discretion of MGATM. We may adjust accrual rates, reward categories, or distribution schedules at any time without prior notice. Bondabit rewards are discretionary distributions from a shared pool, not a fixed schedule or obligation tied to your contribution amount.

Redemption. Payouts are delivered to your MGATM Debit Card in USD only, subject to KYC verification, admin review, and available platform funds. We may delay, reduce, or decline any payout request at our discretion. There is no guarantee that WPC can be redeemed at any particular time or value.

Top-offs. When you purchase a top-off, you receive the WPC equivalent at the rate in effect at that time. Top-off payments are final and non-refundable except where required by law.

Account responsibilities. You must be 18 or older and provide accurate information. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. One account per person.

Prohibited conduct. You may not: create multiple accounts; use bots, scripts, or automation to inflate engagement or accrual; manipulate surveys or the Daily Loop; transfer or sell rewards outside the platform; or attempt to reverse, chargeback, or circumvent any payment. Violations may result in immediate suspension, forfeiture of rewards, and account closure.

Suspension & termination. We may suspend or terminate any account at any time, with or without cause, and forfeit any accrued rewards if we suspect fraud, abuse, or violation of these Terms.

No warranty. The platform is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, reward values, or payout availability.

Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, MGATM is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss of expected reward value.

Changes. We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are provided for transparency and do not constitute legal advice. For questions, use the Support or Front Desk channels.
