Roobet Unveils Metaverse Expansion, Ushering in a New Era of Player-Centric Entertainment
Roobet, the trailblazing entertainment brand known for its innovative approach to online gaming, is thrilled to announce its launch in the Metaverse, marking a paradigm shift for the future of digital entertainment. By embracing immersive virtual environments, web3 and blockchain technology, and a commitment to nurturing a strong sense of community, Roobet aims to revolutionise the gaming experience and cater to the next generation of gamers.
Roobet’s presence in the Metaverse solidifies its position at the forefront of the future of entertainment. Leveraging the power of decentralisation and web3 innovations, Roobet offers a truly unique and interactive gaming and socialising platform, where players can engage, connect, and create memorable experiences.
“We are challenging perceptions of what online casinos can do,” said Roobet’s co-founder Matt Duea. “We’re ushering in a new era full of possibilities based on the benefits of decentralisation for players and creators. We’ve created a fun and secure space to hang out which gives players the freedom to define their own experience. We know brands have been reluctant to put control in the hands of their community – but we’ve never been afraid to be first, and as we seek to revolutionise the future of entertainment, we’re excited to break free from traditional constraints and offer a truly community-centric experience that celebrates creativity, interactivity, and self-expression.
The future of entertainment starts now, and at Roobet, we’re leading the charge.”
Players will be able to access the Roobet Metaverse experience following its launch on June 2 by visiting Roobet.land. Roobet’s Metaverse experience will be hosted in Decentraland, which is supported on all desktops and laptops. Roobet has chosen to host its Metaverse experience in Decentraland, given their shared ‘true crypto’ values – favouring decentralised governance and community participation, it provides a truly welcome space for gamers to participate in virtual worlds that put enjoyment first and foremost.
Once players log in, either as a guest or through any of the supported wallets, there’s a whole world at their fingertips – choosing how and when they attend different events, interact with other gamers, and play their favourite Roobet games, including their viral hit Crash, which recently inspired Roobet’s Chief Ganjaroo Snoop Dogg to create his own unique house game on Roobet.com, Hot Box.
To kick off the launch, Roobet has curated activities that will encourage players to explore the Metaverse for the first time, which includes a scavenger hunt with cash prizes, opportunities to earn Roo tokens which unlock limited edition commemorative NFT wearables, and a weekend competition that will test players’ courage as they play an immersive interpretation of their hit game Crash.
Roobet is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its community in its existing offering, and in the Metaverse, whilst upholding and protecting player and creator freedoms. To maintain a positive and inclusive environment, best-in-class moderation and security measures have been implemented including selective moderation protocols and profanity filters, fostering an environment conducive to fun and respectful interactions.
Roobet’s foray into the Metaverse represents a bold step into the future of gaming and community engagement. By embracing cutting-edge technology, fostering inclusivity, and delivering unforgettable experiences, Roobet continues to redefine the gaming landscape.

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus
DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.
The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.
If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.
Google-style campus for game development talents
The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.
It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.
“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.
What does this mean for the market?
Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.
If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.
And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.
The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.
PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
