MADRID, 18th August 2020: Team Heretics, in partnership with Chiliz — the leading tokenisation platform for sports and entertainment, have announced they will launch the $TH Fan Token globally on Tuesday August 25th. $TH will be sold exclusively on fan voting & rewards app Socios.com and Chiliz.net — the world’s first tokenised sports exchange.

125,000 $TH Fan Tokens will be sold in the Fan Token Offering (FTO) which will start on Tuesday August 25th and last until Thursday August 27th. 90,000 $TH Fan Tokens will be available on Socios.com, with another 35, 000 to be sold on Chiliz.net. Each $TH will cost €2 and they will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Fans will be able to purchase up to a maximum of 50 $TH Fan Tokens on either Socios.com or Chiliz.net.

As of Friday August 28th fans will be able to continue buying $TH, but from this point onwards price will be determined by supply and demand.

The total supply of $TH Fan Tokens is 5 million.

$TH holders will be able to vote in many different polls on Socios.com, having their say in key decisions and earning exclusive digital and real-life rewards and experiences. For the first poll, which will launch as soon as the FTO opens, Heretics are asking fans to choose which players they want to captain two teams filled with fans for a Fortnite death-match series.

Heretics and Socios.com will select six $TH holders to join the chosen duo, with the opportunity to progress to a final 2vs2 round and win prize packages — to be supplied by software colossus Logitech — on offer.

Team Heretics was founded in 2016 by Jorge ‘Goorgo’, Antonio Catena and Arnau Vidal. The organization competes in Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Rainbow 6 and Fortnite. Since their creation, Heretics have focused on recruiting the best Spanish-speaking players and content creators. Heretics have also built a huge social media presence, consisting of 60 million followers from across Spain, LATAM and Europe.

$TH Fan Token holders will be able to enjoy additional opportunities to engage with the team and other fans through Socios.com, with Chat and Games features to be launched on the app in the coming months. A Leaderboard, where fans will receive rewards points based on how they interact with Heretics through Socios.com will be launched in the near future, allowing fans to compete to become the number 1 fan in their region/country.

Socios.com Fan Token partners include FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, AS Roma, Galatasaray, CA Independiente and esports organisation OG. CA Independiente of Argentina and Cypriot side Apollon Limassol will also launch their Fan Tokens on August 25th. As many as 50 IPs from the world of sports and entertainment are primed to join the Socios.com platform in 2020.

Pablo Canosa — Commercial Director of Team Heretics, said: “It’s essential to us that our fans are involved as much as possible with the organisation. Now — thanks to Socios.com — our fans can have a real voice and the opportunity to vote in important team matters. Not only this, but fans can also look forward to exclusive rewards and experiences too.

“Stay tuned to Heretics & Socios.com via social media in the coming weeks. It’s time to decide the future of Team Heretics — together!”

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO & Founder of Chiliz and Socios.com, said: “Team Heretics want to give their fans as big a say in the life of the team as possible, which makes them the perfect partner for us — we’re delighted to welcome them aboard.

“Heretics fans can now enjoy a much stronger relationship with the team. The first poll — which will give 6 Fan Token holders the chance to play Fortnite alongside Heretics players and win some amazing prizes from Logitech — is a great way to start!”

DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.

The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.

DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.

The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.

Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.

“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”

Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”
