Kero Gaming announced today the closing of an oversubscribed $2 Million Seed 2 round, its second this year, with Happyhour.io, an early stage VC fund in the iGaming space, leading the round.

Tomash Devenishek, Founder and CEO, launched the company with a focus on providing the growing sports betting industry with new products to engage users through real-time, contextual micro bets, delivered via algorithms the company builds in-house. The Kero product heavily mirrors mechanics of casino style games with a ‘Tik-tok style’ betting experience whitelabeled for gaming operators that appeals to an audience of consumers looking for entertainment value vs risk trading.

“Modern day consumers don’t want to think too much and endlessly browse/calculate odds inside massive spreadsheets. They want instant gratification and low friction/effort type experiences. We are building a curated version of the sportsbook product that delivers contextual micro bets every 15-45 seconds, allowing users to bet on the most exciting thing that is happening in the game right now”.

He added “We were able to surpass our fundraising ambitions thanks to great strategic partners all of whom add value beyond capital. I am also proud that in this tough market we increased our post-money valuation by 60% doing so in only 10 months.”

HappyHour’s CEO Robin Reed said, “Kero is at the forefront of innovation in sports betting, and has a deep understanding of the customer and how they want to be entertained. As a strategic investor and lead in the current round, Happyhour is looking forward to working with Tomash and his team to bring this technology to casual bettors around the world.”

Other strategic investors from the gaming space echoed the enthusiasm for the 30 person company. Tim Heath, GP at Yolo Investments, another participant in the latest round, said: “Finding genuine innovation in the sports betting space is increasingly difficult, and that’s why we’ve been so impressed by Kero Gaming. Micro Betting has the potential to drive sportsbook growth over the coming years, and Kero’s algorithmic approach sets them apart from the others. We’ll be working closely with Tomash and the team to take this product to new audiences globally.”

Edward King, co-founder of Acies Investments, an early investor in Kero, added “Tomash has consistently exceeded expectations from our first investment in Kero. We are very pleased to further support him in this financing round as he continues to build the platform. Kero has the vision and capability to radically transform how fans engage and participate in sports entertainment.”

Traditional sports book products typically offer customers a lot of choice with complicated arrays of odds on bets for outcomes that may not take place for hours or sometimes days. Kero’s approach borrows heavily from mainstream entertainment platforms such as TikTok by removing complexity and curating highly contextual micro bets on outcomes that may happen in seconds or minutes.

The company initially productized its technology by working with pro sports teams across all American major leagues as a free to play fan engagement solution within their apps. Kero says that it will continue to focus on the free-to-play offering for pro sports while making heavy investments in scaling and growing its real money product for gaming operators.

Devenishek concluded “With this injection of capital and industry experience, we intend to continue focusing on our mission and bring about the next generation of sportsbook products even faster to markets like North America, Europe, LATAM and Asia”.

N1 Partners is gearing up for iGB Live London 2025, and will bring something visitors won’t want to miss. On July 2–3 at ExCeL London, guests will find N1 Partners at Booth J50 — where a black-and-red stand designed to resemble an elegant bus stop welcomes guests beneath the slogan: Hop on the Wealth Bus.

The stand is designed to be more than just a place to visit — it’s a lively lounge where you can grab a drink, chat with the team, and explore real ways to scale your affiliate profits against the backdrop of a bus stop-style design.

N1 Puzzle Promo: Your road to the helicopter prize

N1 Partners is tying the Wealth Bus theme into its N1 PUZZLE Promo — the campaign that’s literally driving our partners toward a brand-new Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter.

Here’s how it works:

  • 1 puzzle piece for every 10 FTDs from SEO traffic
  • 1 puzzle piece for every 40 FTDs from PPC and ASO
  • 1 puzzle piece for every 100 FTDs from FB and other channels (social media, SMS, Email, UAC, In-App)

The more puzzle pieces you collect, the closer you get to taking home the helicopter. And since London is one of the key stops on this journey, N1 Partners will showcase exactly how affiliate traffic can help drive progress toward the prize.

Of course, it’s not just about the final prize. N1 Partners is already running two mini-lotteries (April–July and Sept–Nov) packed with luxury prizes — and everyone wins something. Whether you’re driving PPC, SEO, or social traffic, you can turn volume and speed into puzzle pieces and prizes.

What’s on board at Booth J50

The stand will offer plenty of engaging activities for visitors:

  1. Bar — visitors can grab a drink and connect with the N1 Partners team.
  2. Puzzle Collection merch drop — every item gives you +1 puzzle piece in the promo. Plus, each merch owner enters a special giveaway: a custom hoodie, an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a branded case.
  3. Plinko-style game — everyone wins! Grab a guaranteed prize right at the booth.
  4. Meet the N1 Partners team — the team will be on hand to answer questions and show how to boost your current promo results and earnings.

BTCGOSU Celebrates 5 Years of Bitcoin Casino Guidance With High Value Giveaways Amid Trump-Era Cryptocurrency Market Volatility

Published

btcgosu-celebrates-5-years-of-bitcoin-casino-guidance-with-high-value-giveaways-amid-trump-era-cryptocurrency-market-volatility

 

BTCGOSU, the leading independent guide to Bitcoin gambling and crypto casinos, announced its 5th anniversary. Since its founding in 2020, the platform has established itself as the gold standard for comprehensive, unbiased cryptocurrency gambling resources during a period of unprecedented growth and now increasing volatility in digital asset markets.

As cryptocurrency markets navigate the turbulent waters of President Trump’s recent economic policies, including the sweeping global tariffs announced on “Liberation Day” and the proposed national Bitcoin Reserve, BTCGOSU remains committed to providing crypto gamblers with reliable guidance on maximizing digital assets in the gambling space.

“When we launched BTCGOSU five years ago, we set out to create the most trustworthy resource for crypto gamblers in an industry plagued by misleading information. Today, as player volumes demonstrate strong growth despite the Trump administration policies, the cryptocurrency landscape faces new challenges and opportunities, making our mission more relevant than ever,” said Efialtis, founder of BTCGOSU.

BTCGOSU casino reviews cover hundreds of platforms, analyzing everything from trust, legitimacy, and anonymity factors to deep studies of the full range of crypto casino games, player bonuses, and payout speeds. The site’s reputation for objectivity and honesty has earned it widespread recognition on Bitcointalk.org, where it has been highlighted as an exception among casino review sites for an unwavering commitment to providing unbiased information.

“In a market where Bitcoin prices can fluctuate dramatically based on a presidential tweet or tariff announcement, crypto gamblers need reliable information more than ever. Whether it’s navigating new regulatory environments or finding casinos that offer the best hedge against market volatility, BTCGOSU continues to be the trusted guide for the crypto gambling community,” added Efialtis.

To ensure a strong focus on the trust and confidence factors affecting all crypto gamblers, Efialtis implemented a provably fair verifier early in the life of the site. This verifier is widely used by registered BTCGOSU players.

The platform’s anniversary comes at a pivotal time for cryptocurrency markets. Trump’s policies, including the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the appointment of crypto-friendly figures like Paul Atkins as SEC Chair, led to a significant uptick in crypto adoption. Bitcoin’s value soared to new heights in early 2025, with prices hitting $111,000, reflecting a 60% increase since his re-election in November 2024.

Tariff uncertainties have since resulted in a fall-back in values, but the policies have increased interest in cryptocurrency investing, with the number of active crypto holders growing amid tangible government support.

As a result, the crypto gambling market has seen an influx of new players, with transaction volumes of $2 trillion in 2023 projected to increase to a soaring market value of $150 billion by 2030.

To celebrate its milestone and cater to the increasing player numbers, BTCGOSU is launching a series of special 2025 initiatives, including exclusive bonuses with partner casinos, educational content about the intersection of crypto gambling and market dynamics, and an anniversary $5000 giveaway.
