Roobet, the pioneering entertainment brand and one of the world’s fastest-growing crypto casinos, is making a splash in the MMA content creator space–launching new podcasts with three influential figures across the global combat sports industry:

  • Champions Corner Podcast hosted by current UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno in Spanish, available now. Guests so far include Rey Mysterio, Diego Lopez, Moreno’s wife, and his psychologist.
  • On The House hosted by renowned agent and MMA businessman Jason House in English, premiering in mid summer.
  • Chute Boxe Podcast hosted by Diego Lima, head coach and manager of the famed Chute Boxe Academy in São Paulo, Brazil, in Portuguese, premiering in late Summer with guests including former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira.

As part of the initiative, Roobet has built two state-of-the-art podcast studios at House’s Iridium Sports Agency headquarters in Las Vegas–where House will host his series–and at the renowned Chute Boxe Academy where Lima will host.

Roobet’s podcast slate is part of the company’s larger support of combat sports athletes and content creators. For the past year, Roobet has been a major sponsor of Moreno, Oliveira and the Chute Boxe Academy at large, multiple world champion Canelo Alvarez, former UFC Middleweight Champion Alex Pereira, UFC star Marlon “Chito” Vera and more.

Said Brandon Moreno, “I hope to bring my fans a glimpse behind how I am on a personal level and topics that my friends and I enjoy to discuss. Mainly to have fun and engage with my fans. I haven’t had a podcast where I really get to control the narrative and Roobet allowed me to have the platform.”

Said Jason House, “Too many times in life, we listen to respond. I am creating a podcast with Roobet for the great opportunity to listen to learn. ‘On The House” will give people a platform to share their story and in the process give the audience advice on life, business and success. I’m excited to work with Roobet because they share the same culture as our agency Iridium Sports, and I love everything their brand represents.”

Said Diego Lima, head coach and manager of the famed Chute Boxe Academy, “We hope to hold a podcast so that everyone can follow the lives of our fighters, learn more about their private lives, about stories of overcoming and dedication, and not only from athletes, but from several different celebrities. Being able to be with Roobet in this undertaking is fantastic, so that we can do our best and have all the necessary structure to make the best podcast, so that we can make a podcast unlike anything that has ever been done, there are many ideas, which thanks to Roobet, we can do.”

Said Roobet Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships Anthony Brennan, “Supporting content creators is at the core of what we do, and we’re honored to have a trio of partners like Brandon, Jason and Diego to launch a global, multilingual content slate that reflects the MMA community at large. This initiative goes beyond traditional sponsorships that rise and fall with fighter’s schedules; it is about creating platforms to support fighters outside of the cage and to build a revenue stream beyond their fighting career.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

Google-style campus for game development talents

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

 

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
