Eroverse: One platform Infinite possibility

Published

on

 

Eroverse announces a platform with Infinite possibilities. The online gaming industry is growing at a very significant rate, over the past decade people have had more access to online gaming platforms like Steam, Xbox game pass, Epic games, and more, the Internet is accessible to anyone that has a computer or a console or mobile devices such as tablets and most commonly smartphones. Gaming is no longer seen as something just for children but is instead something that appeals to all ages in varying forms, While this has acted as a boon for many game developers, there is an area of gaming that has remained somewhat niche-specific and at times difficult to access, and that is adult gaming, just like gambling and betting platforms- adult gaming platforms have existed for a while now, and Eroverse is here to make it better.

Eroverse is for the Grown-ups 

Eroverse is not only building a platform that will host adult-oriented games but will also apply the advancements in blockchain technology to improve upon the current platform, the games will have a play2earn feature, what does that mean? It means that the users will be rewarded as they play, combining the benefit of a collated space for niche-specific gaming, with reward mechanics which will further encourage continued use engagement.

The benefits of the platform are not just limited to gaming, Eroverse will offer space that will host artists in the same industry and the users will be able to purchase NFTs from well-known artists and game developers in the space, and some of those NFTs will be part of a separate game economy with the potential to provide earning just for holding them

Gaming is bigger than ever 

The gaming industry has witnessed exponential growth over the last 10 years and it now boasts revenues higher than both cinema and music industries combined, Movie box office booked $42.5 billion in receipts, Music Industry booked $20.2 billion, the combined revenue of these two industries is $62.7 billion and the Video games industry overall revenue was $145.7 billion, that’s more than two folds of what the movie and music industry made. The gaming industry already had a significant lead, these numbers are from the year 2019, and has likely become even bigger due to the global impact of covid-19 on movie cinemas and live music concert.

Combined with the growth of the gaming industry that also aided an increase in the gaming platforms, steam was the first mover and still market leader, but others have also entered this space like GOG, Epic Games, Microsoft Store, and more, these collate the games in the spaces that allow these games to be easily bought and played. However, there has been an area of gaming that has also seen significant growth but is often seen as separate from the mainstream and that is adult gaming.

Market Overview

The idea that “sex sells” has been grasped by many game developers over time and there is an increasing amount of acceptance for low-level erotica in mainstream games today, this can be seen as a parallel to how Hollywood has used erotica in many movies.

Adult gaming also has a significant user base but not as much as compared to games on these platforms like steam. Nutaku is a well-known platform but specializes in hentai and Asian style games, other adult game developers distribute their games via third party subscription services like Patreon or host them on their own websites and these are not always easy to find for a user, adult game developers also have issues securing affordable payment providers as may don’t want to compromise their privacy in this field. Associated with all of these options is the need for the users to provide their details such as login credentials, payment method info and sometimes they even have to do full KYC. This is a potential concern for some people given the nature of the content they are looking for, they don’t want their identity attached to the adult games for various reasons.

Eroverse Ecosystem

The Eroverse ecosystem gives both gamers and developers the chance to earn an income by providing an adult gaming platform as well as play2earn. Users will need to connect a BEP-20 wallet that contains a certain amount of ERO token to use the platform and access staking pools and earn while playing games. Developers and artists will be free to set their own prices and rules to be able to access their products. Some may require a specific NFT in the user wallet, others may be required to hold more ERO tokens, they will have the freedom to decide within the realms of the Eroverse ecosystem. As well as games, artists will also be able to sell their artworks, comics, NFTs, and more, setting their price and any other requirements for the sale/purchase. The platform will receive a small fee on every transaction which will help fund the reward pool.

Developers and Artists

Eroverse is developing its own game which should be ready at launch. However, the real goal is much much bigger. Eroverse will provide prospective developers with a software development kit (SDK) to enable easy deployment to the platform. There are ongoing discussions with over 200 different developers and 2 developers are already on board. Artworks of varying types, including NFT’s, will also be sold via the platform which will give artists access to a large audience with affordable fees for selling their work. In time a fully functional marketplace will be launched to enable reselling of the NFTs. The ability to sell adult NFTs on a specialized platform is very limited at present but will be something that fits well with the gaming element or just as individual pieces of art. Being able to buy artwork created by people’s favorite artists in the space will be popular as it is hardly provided for.

Casino ATM Scam in Edmonton Reveals Money Laundering and Drug Links

Published

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 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.

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.
