FanDuel Co-Founders Launch Crypto Casino and Sportsbook Company, BetHog, and Secure $6M Seed Round
BetHog, a new cryptocurrency casino and sportsbook, has announced its public launch with $6 million in seed funding led by 6MV with participation from Will Ventures, Bullpen Capital, Karatage, Advancit Capital and several angel investors including Chris Grove, Partner Emeritus at Eilers & Krejcik LLC and Josh Hannah, co-founder of Flutter Entertainment.
Founded by serial tech entrepreneurs and co-founders of sportsbook FanDuel, Nigel Eccles and Rob Jones, BetHog is underpinned by decades of experience and trust. The platform has emerged from private alpha with a variety of casino games, including exclusive BetHog Originals and fan favourites from popular studios such as Pragmatic and Evolution. Borrowing from the team’s vast experience of building consumer entertainment products, the BetHog Originals include innovative variants of crash and mines, and a completely new approach to player versus player games. These games include a first-of-its-kind feature that allows consumers to play alongside their favourite streamers.
“The crypto casino market has seen dramatic growth over the past few years driven by innovations like provably fair games, robust VIP programs and streaming. With BetHog, my goal is to innovate even further by bringing unique and highly visual games to market. I want to offer users unique play-along and skill-based titles, combined with a robust VIP offering, but most of all, this is about maximizing fun for our users,” said Nigel Eccles, Co-founder & CEO of BetHog.
The BetHog casino is built on Solana with SOL being the supporting token for their PvP titles. In addition, BetHog also accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT on their other titles. BetHog is now available globally with a number of jurisdictional restrictions (including US and UK).
With this first round of funding, BetHog will prioritise investment in product development while scaling the business via strategic partnerships.
“We are thrilled to be backing Nigel and the entire team at BetHog on this investment. We think they are perfectly positioned to unlock this massive opportunity to build the most innovative online casino and betting platform of this era of crypto. We believe this will bring in a diverse audience of crypto and non-crypto gamers to enjoy this differentiated and fun gambling experience,” said Serge Kassardjian, General Partner at 6MV.

BGaming Marks the First Anniversary of Viral Hit Aviamasters™ with Record-Breaking Metrics

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming celebrates the first anniversary of the release of its viral casual game, Aviamasters™. The game has broken multiple records over the last six months and has redefined what players can expect from aviation-inspired casual gaming.
Launched in July 2024, the game has proven to be a viral banger, demonstrating continued growth throughout the year. In the past six months, it has received over 500 million TikTok views, with over 200 new videos being posted daily on the platform. This incredible social media presence, combined with ad campaigns and affiliate strategies, has built a strong community of players around the game.
Beyond its viral popularity, Aviamasters™ distinguishes itself from the aviation-style crash games that have flooded the market in the last couple of years. Its unique physics-based mechanic shifts the focus from avoiding a crash to mastering a successful landing, making Aviamasters™ stand out as both intuitive and deeply engaging for players worldwide.
This unique approach has clearly resonated with players, with Aviamasters™ delivering excellent metrics. The game reported a 740% increase in new players over the course of five months, with a consistent week-on-week growth, including significant increases across Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
All of this success has also led to strong market demand, with top-tier casinos adapting the product to fit their own brand, including Shuffle’s “Happy Bird” and RainBet’s “Aviamasters™.
Aviamasters™ and BGaming’s full portfolio of products will be on display at the upcoming SBC Lisbon event in September. The BGaming team will be on hand to discuss the game’s success in person and explore the value that other games in its portfolio can deliver, learn more.
Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “When we launched Aviamasters™ a year ago, we could have only dreamed about how successful it has been. The game’s viral popularity and strategic value are clear. Not only has it helped establish BGaming as a leading voice in the casual gaming space, but it has also helped our partners attract millions of customers. We can’t wait to showcase the game, as well as many of our other gaming products, at SBC Lisbon this September.”

A fresh spin on the beautiful game, with every bounce bringing new rewards

Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, has announced the launch of Plinkgoal Ultimate, the latest instalment in its popular Plinkgoal series, where football fever collides with arcade-style Plinko action in a fast-paced, multiplier-charged showdown.
Building on the success of the original Plinkgoal, Plinkgoal Ultimate takes the action up a gear with dynamic new features, including the Multiplier Boost, Open Goal, and Lucky Wheel, each designed to ramp up engagement and deliver game-changing moments. With every ball drop, players dive into an electrifying stadium atmosphere, where the thrill of scoring meets the unpredictability of Plinko mechanics.
Set inside a vivid football stadium brimming with reactive lighting, and adrenaline-pumping sound design, Plinkgoal Ultimate invites players to place their bets and chase instant win payouts as the ball weaves and rebounds across the pitch. A shot into the Lucky Wheel could unlock one of four instant jackpot prizes: Mini, Minor, Major or the coveted Mega, worth up to 1000x the bet.
Alexandros Mavroudis, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “The original Plinkgoal took a chance by merging two beloved worlds: football and Plinko, and the player response was phenomenal. Plinkgoal Ultimate keeps that excitement alive but raises every element: from the visual energy and sound to the new features that add suspense, strategy, and the potential for big wins.”
With medium volatility and three RTP variants (92%, 94%, and 97%), Plinkgoal Ultimate is built to appeal to a broad player base – from casual bettors to Plinko fans seeking unique mechanics. Players can also activate Hotbet mode for an extra 1.5x stake, doubling the chances of triggering the Lucky Wheel and its high-value rewards.
