FUN token adds BETR technology and leadership
FUN token is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with the BETR Foundation to merge both party’s interests and work together to bring decentralised and peer-to-peer gaming to its huge and growing user base.
BETR raised funds in 2017 to build a peer-to-peer betting solution and proceeded to execute, with a fully-fledged betting client launching in time for the FIFA World Cup in 2018. The technology developed included an in-game betting system with rich market coverage and peer-to-peer betting facilitated through a complex smart contract ecosystem based on the BETR ERC20 Ethereum token. More recently it extended the system to offer casino gaming.
FUN is now able to take advantage of the technology and expertise developed for BETR as part of an agreement to merge the tokens.
BETR holders will be able to switch their BETR for FUN through an automated swap system which will cause the BETR tokens to be burned in exchange for FUN. Through an automated swap system BETR tokens will be swapped for Fun at a rate of 4 BETR = 1 FUN – system details to be released within the next week on https://betr.org. BETR tokens acquired through the swap system will be burnt and BETR will be delisted from exchanges.
As part of the transaction FUN will acquire all technology developed for BETR and key personnel will join the new FUN team, building the future of decentralised gaming. BETR CEO Adriaan Brink will assume the role of CEO of the FUN token and will grow the team and spearhead the new drive to grow opportunities for FUN.
Brink has a wealth of experience in the online gaming industry, starting in 1995 with lotteries and progressing through all gaming verticals over the past 25 years. He also co-founded Earthport (now Visa Direct) in 1999 and his payments experience combined with gaming make him the ideal person to take FUN to the next level.
Brink said “I am truly excited to have this opportunity to take what we have learnt and combine BETR with the fantastic FUN community and the huge audience of Freebitco.in in order to deliver on what all of us always dreamt of – a decentralised gaming infrastructure more suited to the modern era”.
FUN will soon announce plans on how it intends to move forwards with a suite of products including side-chain and off-chain gaming engines to counter the issues of Ethereum gas prices, a new casino site with a rich suite of games, and other gaming opportunities including peer-to-peer betting.
Freebitco.in has over 40M users and significant daily traffic and will play a pivotal role in expanding the FUN token user base. The company intends to set aside a percentage of profits from activities to be burnt on a regular basis which will reduce the supply figures downwards.
3.75Bn of the cold storage FUN tokens were purchased recently by Freebitco.in. This was the culmination of an ongoing exercise to accumulate tokens for use within their loyalty program. As a consequence of this, these tokens are no longer in cold storage and the supply figures on Coinmarketcap will update shortly as follows:
Total supply : 10,999,873,621
Circulating supply : 10,298,879,189

BOYD GAMING TO SELL FANDUEL INTEREST FOR $1.755 BILLION

All-Cash Transaction Unlocks Significant, Unrealized Value for Boyd Shareholders
Boyd, FanDuel Extend Market-Access Agreements through 2038
Boyd Gaming Corporation announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Company’s 5% equity interest in FanDuel Group to Flutter Entertainment plc for cash consideration of $1.755 billion.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. The Company intends to use net proceeds to reduce debt.
Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd, said: “This transaction unlocks the tremendous unrealized value that our investment in FanDuel has created for our Company. As a result, we are in a significantly stronger financial position to continue executing our strategy of investing in our properties, pursuing growth opportunities, returning capital to our shareholders, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.”
In addition to purchasing Boyd’s equity interest in FanDuel, Boyd and FanDuel will terminate certain existing market-access agreements between the parties and enter into new agreements to provide, among other things, for an extended term through 2038. The agreements will also provide Boyd with a fixed fee per state from FanDuel’s mobile sports-betting operations in Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, as well as FanDuel’s online casino operations in Pennsylvania, upon the close of this transaction. FanDuel will also continue to operate Boyd’s retail sportsbooks outside of Nevada through mid-2026, after which time Boyd will assume responsibility for these operations.
Under terms of the revised market-access agreements with FanDuel, the Company now expects its Online segment will generate $50 million to $55 million in operating income and Adjusted EBITDAR for the full year 2025, and approximately $30 million in 2026.
Smith added: “The partnership between Boyd and FanDuel has been a remarkable success for both companies. FanDuel has emerged as the nation’s clear leader in online sports-betting, while Boyd has been able to leverage this partnership to profitably participate in the rapid growth of sports betting across the country. It has been a privilege to work with the Flutter and FanDuel teams, and we look forward to supporting FanDuel’s continued growth and success through our market-access agreements across the country.”
Moelis & Company LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction. Morrison & Foerster LLP served as legal advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction, with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP advising on the commercial agreements.
