Theta Labs today announced a new global distribution deal with World Poker Tour® to launch an ‘always-on’, 24/7 poker live channel on THETA.tv, a next-generation Esports entertainment platform built on the Theta blockchain, the leading decentralized video delivery network.
THETA.tv users around the globe are now able to access classic WPT programming such as World Poker Tour Seasons VIII through XVI, WPT Alpha8 Seasons I through III, WPT Greatest Seasons I through II, and King of the Club Season I. In addition, THETA.tv will feature live 2020-2021 poker events and tournaments held at the HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas and elsewhere, all through an ‘always-on’ 24/7 live channel that users can enjoy from any device including web, mobile and smart TVs.
By streaming the 24/7 live channel, THETA.tv introduces WPT as the first major content partner outside of the Esports category, featuring a genre that fits THETA.tv’s global audience extremely well. The partnership reflects THETA.tv’s plans to broaden its content portfolio and offer its users with relevant, meaningful programming outside of traditional esports content. For the first time, users can earn TFUEL token rewards for sharing their excess bandwidth while watching premium WPT poker content. Theta blockchain’s innovative approach to user rewards drives higher engagement and user retention, while sharing the benefits with viewers who can earn as much as $15/month just for watching.
“Theta Labs and WPT are innovators in our respective industries and this global partnership will provide our users with a new, ground-breaking way to watch the best televised poker product in the world, all powered by our peer-to-peer Theta blockchain technology,” said Mitch Liu, Co-founder and CEO of Theta Labs. “We’re looking forward to deeper integration of the Theta Network within WPT.”

Aviator
Aviator crash game launches in US via Ruby Seven’s Lucky North Casino
Aviator has launched in the United States for the first time through Lucky North Casino, a free-to-play social casino from Ruby Seven Studios serving Delaware North casino customers across the country.
The crash game is now live on Lucky North Casino, the official app of the Lucky North Rewards program. According to the announcement, Aviator is available on Android and Apple devices, as well as on the web via LuckyNorthCasino.com.
The company said the launch is the first step in a broader US expansion plan. Aviator is currently available across all eligible US states excluding Washington, and is expected to roll out to “more than a dozen” additional retail-branded social casinos in the coming months via the Ruby Seven Studios network.
Ruby Seven Studios’ network supports nearly 50 retail casino properties across 25 US states, which the company said will extend Aviator’s reach. The release added that a demo version of Aviator had previously been accessible to US audiences through the company’s website.
The launch follows Aviator’s expansion across several markets throughout 2026, with the company pointing to increasing demand for crash-style gaming experiences globally as it broadens distribution in North America.

1X2 Network
1X2 Network launches iCasino content in West Virginia with Rush Street, Caesars and Fanatics
1X2 Network has launched in West Virginia, marking its second regulated US market. The supplier said a first set of games went live on 3 June 2026 with Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino.
The company entered North America in Michigan two years ago and said it is expanding US distribution off the back of performance there. 1X2 Network did not disclose commercial terms or rollout timelines by operator.
Among the initial titles going live in West Virginia are 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win. The company said both games have been “ranked as top performers in North America” and are aimed at West Virginia’s “core 30-39 year old iGaming demographic.”
Kevin Reid, CEO at 1X2 Network, said: “Buoyed by the performance of our top tier titles in Michigan, we felt the time was right to step up our US expansion plans, and in Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino, we couldn’t think of three better operators to debut our launch into West Virginia.
“Having already worked with these brands in the Great Lakes State, we’re confident that games like 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win will deliver the same great results for them in West Virginia. We also have deals in the pipeline to go live with a number of other big-name operators which will further cement our presence in North America.”
