Blockchain platform creates an infrastructure for video game developers to incorporate NFTs

SuperFarm, a protocol that allows anyone to deploy crypto and NFT ‘farms’ with no code required, has announced the closing of their first private fundraising round of $1.1M lead by from Bitcoin.com, Spark Digital Capital, GBV Capital, Solidity Ventures, and Animoca Brands. The company’s mission is to help Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) usher in billions of users through the gaming industry (which has 2.5 billion active users alone), the entertainment industry as well as decentralized finance (DeFi).

SuperFarm’s first use case is to provide the larger cryptocurrency ecosystem the tools needed to add utility to their tokens through NFT Farming with no technical barriers. NFT Farming is a recent phenomenon spawned out of the DeFi bull run in 2020, and allows for new value to be rewarded to token stakers that is non dilutive. The platform already has generated dramatic hype and anticipation from the industry’s most influential content creators.

Utility in gaming is critical, as the next generation cares as much, in not more, about their digital experiences than they do about their real-life experiences. NFTs offer a way for video games to unlock characters and experiences within video games, giving them true utility.

Video Games represent the perfect funnel for blockchain to reach their first billion users. Right now there are over 2.5 billion gamers worldwide who are constantly buying in-game digital assets worth over $100 billion that have no value outside of the digital world. These gamers are hyper-connected, technically savvy, and are dedicated to their games. If major games like Call of Duty or Fortnight had NFTs, every kid under 15 would know how to work an Ethereum address like the back of their hand. This is how we get to mass adoption.” Elliot Wainman, CEO of Superfarm.

SuperFarm is giving tokenized ecosystems across the entire crypto space a simple and effective toolkit they can use to elevate the value of their own token, as well as a throughline to mainstream gaming. The goal is to provide utility today for tokens that might not have utility for months, years, or ever, and push the DeFi and NFT narrative forward as the best case for the first wave of mass adoption of blockchain technology.

The wait is over! The 2025 edition of BiS SiGMA Americas is already underway and promises to be historic, accompanying a moment of intense transformation and consolidation of the iGaming scene in Brazil.

For this reason, the largest betting event in Latin America is ready to welcome and meet the demands of the national and international community. This year, the organization decided to expand the physical space by 50%, from 20 thousand square meters to 32 thousand square meters distributed in 5 halls of the Transamerica Expo Center, in São Paulo.

In addition to the trade fair and conferences with more than 300 prestigious experts from around the world, BiS SiGMA Americas offers a diverse program, including award ceremonies, exclusive networking dinners, a poker tournament, an electrifying night with MMA fights and a grand closing party.

Expectation of record attendance

In addition to the categories that have always been present at the event, such as Online Betting Operators, Software and Technology Providers, Affiliates and Digital Marketing, Payment Methods and Financial Solutions, this edition draws attention to the presence of new technology companies that add value and provide innovative resources for the industry.

This means that the betting market is evolving, with new branches emerging to strengthen the ecosystem. KYC (Know Your Customer) companies, Consulting and Compliance, Information and Database Management, AdTechs and Digital Advertising Networks are making their presence felt with solutions to ensure security, regulatory compliance and more efficient growth strategies.

Furthermore, the recent regulation of sports betting and online gaming in Brazil represents a milestone for the market. BiS SiGMA Americas therefore serves as a platform for experts, regulators and industry leaders to assess the challenges and opportunities of this time of adaptation, as well as explore global trends that may impact the local industry.

Given this, the event organizers predict that the 2025 edition will reach a record number of attendees and participating brands. The estimate is that more than 18,000 people will pass through the Transamérica Expo Center by Thursday (10).

Global B2B iGaming content provider secures first Canadian market entry following the successful submission and approval of its gaming-related supplier application

Playnetic, the in-demand global B2B iGaming content provider known for its quality games, reliable delivery and outstanding customer service, has announced the approval of its gaming-related supplier application by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

With the AGCO licensing process being recognised in the industry for its rigorous standards and thorough due diligence, the new certification confirms Playnetic was able to meet the high levels of integrity and regulatory compliance needed to legally distribute its content within the province.

As a result of the approval, Playnetic has now secured its first Canadian market entry and will be able to provide its library of innovative games to licensed operators in the Ontario region – with this starting point paving the way for further expansion into other regulated provinces in future.

Given signs of change emerging within the Canadian market and Alberta making progress toward a regulated online model – likely drawing from Ontario’s framework – this license positions Playnetic strongly to expand its footprint in the country and further solidifies the company’s ambitious growth plans.

In the meantime, Playnetic has already begun making groundwork with key operators in the Ontario region and is looking forward to going live with some exciting brands over the coming months. The company will also be attending SBC’s Canadian Gaming Summit from June 17-19, where both existing and new potential partners alike are welcome to stop by and meet the team.

Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, said: “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in iGaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”

Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”
