The Future of Gaming has Arrived: Everything You Need to Know About the Mirror Image One Console
I hope you are as excited as we are for the release of the Mirror Image One Console. In the meantime, we wanted to provide details on what to expect from the console and our launch.
What is the Mirror Image One?
The Mirror Image One is the world’s first Web 3.0 Gaming console powered by Nvidia GPUs and a Virtual Windows PC in the cloud. Our Console allows you to play your favorite games, securely browse the internet by using our secured browser, and development programs for Web 3.0. The Console will have one of the fastest Internet speeds in the world compatible with most devices.
The Console also can connect to VR Headsets. With the use of the Virtual Windows PC in the cloud, we have eliminated the need for needing to upgrade your device again.
One of our main goals is to bring the power and ease of use into the hands of everyone, by creating a product that is secure, fast, and easy to use.
How does the console work?
You can access your console from any device by visiting our website and logging in using your gamertag and password or simply by connecting your wallet. Once you are logged in, you will get access to your personalized dashboard where you can access games, apps, modify your reflection avatar, send and receive payments, complete missions, and securely chat with friends.
Personalized Dashboard
Our personalized dashboard gives you the power to take control of your experience in Web 3.0. Allowing you to simply login into the accounts you already have to get rewarded for your activity. For example, if you have an Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Live Account you can login into your account and start playing. The difference between using Xbox directly and our console is with our consoles you are provided daily missions for your gameplay. So, if you normally play Fortnite every day you can now get rewarded by completing missions like play Fortnite for one hour and receive 5 SELF Coins. This reward system works for everything not just gaming allowing you to get rewarded for developing programs, learning about Web 3 from select schools, visiting metaverses, interacting with Dapps, and more.
What are Reflection Avatars?
Reflection Avatars are a way to express yourself on Web 3.0. We have chosen to make your avatar reflect who you are in the real world by being yourself or you can represent yourself as your favorite PFP project. You can even customize your Avatar using different clothes as wearable NFTs and accessories that allow you to stand out from the crowd. Each wearable NFT is backed by the physical product so if you buy a shirt for your avatar, you will receive both the digital version for your avatar and the physical drop shipped to your residence. This will allow you to build your physical and virtual closet at the same time.
.W3 and .ETH Gamertags
With each console order you are provided with a .W3 and .ETH Gamertag. The .W3 Gamertags are on the Xinfin Blockchain which means you can earn in-game currency (SELF Coins) and transfer them to your XDC wallet to use in Decentralized Apps. We also provide .ETH Gamertags that are native to the Ethereum Blockchain. Our ETH Gamertags are ENS subdomains that contain .Mirrorimage.ETH. For example, if you chose the Gamertag “Best In The World”, your .ETH Gamertag will look like (Bestintheworld.mirrorimage.eth). Each Gamertag allows you to send and receive payments, automatically earn rewards, and securely chat with your friends using our chat section.
Secured Browsing
We partnered with Plata Data to provide you with a secured browsing experience within your console. Plato Data does NOT share your data and offers full encryption for your browsing experience.
What are Missions?
Missions are daily rewarded tasks provided based on your real time activity. Each monthly subscription provides a certain amount of missions per day. The Common Edition provides 5 missions daily, The Rare Edition provides 10 missions, and the Legendary Edition provides 20+ missions per day. The goal for our missions is not to provide you with hard task or a bunch of tasks that make purchase or subscribe to stuff like those scam sites. We want to provide missions for tasks you are already use to completing in your day to make your everyday activities more worth it.
How does the monthly subscription work?
Unlike most platforms that offer virtual pcs as a service we don’t charge a monthly fee in fiat currency. Instead, we allow each monthly subscription to be paid in our utility token (SELF Coin). This allows you to easily use a portion of your rewards to maintain access to your virtual pc. Don’t worry about not having enough SELF Coins each month as long as your active you will always receive more SELF Coins in rewards than what is required for your monthly subscription.
As we get closer to launch, we will provide more details about the Console and a Whitepaper that will provide full details on how our SELF Coins work. In the meantime, join our discord to stay up to date on everything about the Mirror Image One. Until next time!

Casino ATM Scam in Edmonton Reveals Money Laundering and Drug Links

Law enforcement in Alberta continues to search for the last suspect in a sophisticated fraud operation that targeted ATMs in Edmonton-area casinos and resulted in over CAD 1 million ($720,487) in losses throughout Western Canada.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has confirmed that Hisham Ismaeel, 28, remains at large with a province-wide warrant for his arrest. He faces charges of fraud exceeding $5000 and possessing proceeds of crime. Police have already arrested four other men linked to the scheme. Investigators describe the operation as a well-planned effort to exploit financial systems and clean dirty money.
The accused, Elliot Miao, 42, Van Bau Ta, 39, Hassan Jaafar Haydar Ahmad, 37, and Dennis Jones, 42, showed up in the Alberta Court of Justice last week. They face charges from fraud and money laundering to owning criminal property. Miao also has a narcotics trafficking charge after police found cocaine when they searched with warrants.
Investigators claim the group made coordinated withdrawals at several casino ATMs, timing their transactions to avoid getting caught. This action messed up ATM networks in the area and showed flaws in the systems that banks and casinos use to stop misuse.
The RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region led an investigation that involved six search warrants in Edmonton. The Edmonton Police Service, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC), and several banks supported this effort. Officials said the case shows how teamwork between public agencies and the private sector plays a key role in combating modern financial crime.
AGLC representatives pointed out that casino operators in the province must follow strict reporting and surveillance rules under Canada’s anti-money laundering laws. The specific casinos affected remain unnamed, but the Edmonton region has seven licensed facilities. AGLC said its policies helped spot problems and backed the RCMP’s investigation.
Compliance experts say this fraud shows how criminals change their methods to take advantage of weak spots in reporting limits and transaction checks. They claim that casinos, which deal with lots of cash, are still easy targets unless they keep improving their detection systems and teach their front-line workers to notice coordinated actions like several big withdrawals happening one after another.
For now, the case highlights both the money and crime aspects of casino-related fraud. Besides the million-dollar losses, finding drugs during the raids points to a bigger criminal operation where financial crimes and drug dealing overlap.

Bragg Confirms Cyber Attack – Hackers Access Internal IT Systems

Bragg Gaming Group, a leading online gaming technology provider, has confirmed a major cybersecurity incident that compromised its internal IT infrastructure in the early hours of Saturday, August 16, 2025.
The company detected unauthorized intrusion attempts that successfully breached its internal network, triggering an immediate and comprehensive incident response.
Key Takeaways
-
Bragg Gaming Group experienced a cybersecurity breach involving access to internal IT systems.
-
No customer personal data or payment information appears to have been compromised.
-
The company has enacted full containment and investigation protocols.
Details of the Breach
According to a preliminary forensic analysis by Bragg’s internal security team, the attack was a targeted breach aimed at the company’s internal computer environment. While the exact method of intrusion is still under investigation, early indicators suggest a sophisticated exploit of internal network vulnerabilities.
Fortunately, the company’s customer-facing systems, including sensitive user data and financial information, appear to have been unaffected. Bragg’s existing encryption protocols and access control systems successfully prevented the attackers from accessing customer information.
Immediate Response Measures
In response to the breach, Bragg launched a multi-tiered containment strategy, including:
-
Network Segmentation to isolate affected systems
-
Enhanced Monitoring of data flows across its Remote Games Server (RGS) platform
-
Security Audits of critical infrastructure, including the Bragg Hub and PAM systems
-
Engagement of Independent Cybersecurity Experts to assist in incident analysis and system hardening
Bragg’s Security Operations Center has also elevated its alert level, initiating 24/7 monitoring across all server clusters and network endpoints. In addition, company-wide penetration testing is now underway to proactively identify any residual vulnerabilities.
Business Continuity Maintained
Despite the severity of the breach, Bragg reports that its operations remain unaffected. All gaming services, including iCasino and sportsbook offerings across regulated markets, continue to function without disruption.
“While this incident is deeply concerning, we are confident in the rapid and thorough response initiated by our team,” a company spokesperson stated. “We remain committed to protecting our infrastructure, our partners, and most importantly, our players.”
Looking Ahead
As part of its response, Bragg has also launched mandatory security awareness training for all employees to reinforce best practices and prevent future incidents.
Cybersecurity analysts will continue working with Bragg to determine the full scope of the attack, improve system resilience, and maintain the trust of its users and stakeholders.
Bragg’s handling of the incident highlights both the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats and the importance of robust, responsive defense systems in the digital gaming sector.

AGCO Removes Cap on Seller Commission for Charitable Lottery Products

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has updated several lottery policies to remove the cap on seller commission for Paper Raffles and Media Bingo, along with removing the prohibition on Catch the Ace paper lotteries, to align with other charitable lottery products.
Licensed charities may now negotiate commissions directly with sellers and determine commissions, provided they are reasonable and tied to the cost of service provided by the seller.
These updates further the AGCO’s commitment to adopt an outcomes-based regulatory approach and reduce burden for the charitable gaming sector. Local charitable organizations will have greater flexibility to make decisions that best serve their fundraising objectives.
Important Reminders
• Charities must still receive approval for other expenses incurred under their licence and retain receipts for seller commission paid.
• Licensing authorities will not require documentation to be submitted as part of the application process, however, charities are still subject to audit to determine compliance.
• Charities are reminded of their legal requirement to meet their obligations under the Criminal Code and with respect to conducting and managing a charitable gaming scheme.
• As with all licensed charitable lottery events, charities must take the necessary steps to ensure that they are conducting and managing the lottery event within Ontario.
For charitable gaming-related inquiries, email an AGCO Eligibility Officer at [email protected] or call AGCO Customer Service at 1-800-522-2876, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
