Racing Club, in partnership with Chiliz, the leading provider of blockchain solutions for the sports and entertainment industry, has announced that it will soon be launching its official Fan Token ($RACING) on the Socios.com app.

This partnership will see Racing join a global network of 70+ sporting organisations in over 20 different countries that have already partnered with Socios.com to engage with their global fan bases. The list includes football giants FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Inter Milan, Arsenal, Atlético de Madrid, Galatasaray and the national teams of Argentina and Portugal.

The $RACING Fan Token will give local and global fans of La Academia access to new opportunities to actively connect with the club, including the chance to take part in a number of decisions by voting on polls that will be launched across the season on the Socios.com app.

In addition, fans can put their skills to the test against other fans from around the world in club-related games, competitions and quizzes, competing in global leaderboards and earning real-life and digital club-related accolades, benefits and experiences along the way.

More information on when and how to acquire $RACING Fan Tokens and the exciting opportunities and benefits that will be available to supporters will be announced in the coming weeks.

With 18 league titles, Racing is one of the most successful clubs in Argentina and is among the few clubs to have won the Copa Intercontinental. Its fan base, popularly known as the Número 1 (Number 1 in Spanish), is considered one of the most loyal and passionate in South American football.

This new partnership with Racing confirms Socios.com’s commitment to continue growing in Argentina, a country that has seen the company sign two ground-breaking agreements: the launch of the Argentina national team Fan Token $ARG (Argentina was the first national team ever to launch its Fan Token on Socios.com) and the naming of the national league as Torneo Socios.com for the 2021-22 season.

Socios.com is a direct-to-consumer (D2C) platform that uses blockchain technology to provide the world’s leading sporting organisations with the tools to engage with their global fanbases. Nearly 1.3M fans worldwide have downloaded the Socios.com app to get closer to their favourite clubs.

Since its creation, in 2019, Socios.com works with global leading sporting organisations to help them actively connect with their fan bases through Fan Tokens, collectible digital assets, minted on the Chiliz blockchain, that provide owners with access to voting rights in polls, VIP rewards, exclusive promotions, AR-enabled features, chat forums, games and competitions on Socios.com.

Created by Chiliz, the leading blockchain provider for the global sports and entertainment industry, Socios.com has major expansion plans for 2021 and is targeting many more Fan Token launches throughout the world.  Socios.com has multiple office locations around the world and has already opened new regional headquarters in Madrid, Istanbul, São Paulo and Buenos Aires. The company will open a new office in North America in the near future.

Víctor Blanco, President of Racing Club, said: “We are very happy with this partnership, that will enable us to enter a new space full of exciting opportunities.”

“The $RACING Fan Token will allow us to interact with our fans in a new and very different way, strengthening their participation by giving them active participation and real influence.”

Blockchain-Based Product to Position Rivalry Within Fast-Growing Crypto Gambling Segment, Drive Product-Market Fit Among Digitally Native Bettors with Increased Functionality and User Experiences

Rivalry, the leading sportsbook and iGaming operator for Gen Z, revealed Rivalry Token, a native crypto token on the blockchain to add increased functionality, economics, and user experiences across the company’s product suite, continuing Rivalry’s track record of innovation in online betting. The launch of Rivalry Token, anticipated to arrive in H2 2024, represents one of several forthcoming initiatives to position Rivalry in the crypto gambling market and better serve its core audience of 30-and-under bettors.

“Online gambling is the latest web-based consumer category being increasingly disrupted by blockchain technologies with greater speed, access, and functionality than their legacy counterparts,” said Steven Salz, Co-Founder and CEO, Rivalry. “Tech-savvy bettors are leading a behavioral shift towards more experiential and crypto-enabled gambling experiences that are taking wallet share from incumbents at an accelerated rate.”

“Rivalry is well-positioned to access the growth opportunity in crypto with a proven product set, a brand entrenched in internet culture, and a captive audience of digitally native users that are driving this economic renaissance,” Salz added. “The launch of Rivalry Token, alongside a broader expansion into cryptocurrencies, strengthens our product-market fit among an under-30 audience and positions us competitively to capture a meaningful share of this fast-growing segment of the market.”

Rivalry Token will be integrated within Rivalry’s product suite – from sportsbook to casino and more – with built-in properties to enhance the customer experience from end-to-end. Users can earn tokens through site activity such as betting and referring friends, which can be used on Rivalry to boost odds, participate in jackpots, and more to be detailed in the future. Rivalry Token will also be available on several to-be-announced crypto exchange platforms, trading under $RVLRY.

Rivalry Token creates a new dynamic relationship between player and house where every sports wager and casino spin, win or lose, is rewarded with a decentralized asset that can accrue value alongside player activity on Rivalry. The company expects its token will drive a meaningful increase in player engagement, loyalty, and advocacy by establishing more positive economic alignment and enabling customers to actively participate in product success.

Rivalry has today launched a pre-farming campaign where users can begin accumulating an interim currency through site activity and eventually social media which will be converted into Rivalry Token during the token generation event in H2 2024. Additionally, tokens will be distributed to all Rivalry accounts based on historical activity, rewarding loyal customers and creating a substantial reactivation opportunity for churned users.

Rivalry will also soon be adding greater support for other cryptocurrencies on its platform, allowing users to more easily bet with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other major cryptocurrencies. This will enable Rivalry to access a fast-growing audience gambling with crypto that is estimated to account for up to one quarter of global betting handle.

Following the official launch, Rivalry Token will be available for players to use on Rivalry in all of the company’s active markets excluding Ontario and Australia.
