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.

The Swedish Gambling Authority has reviewed L&L Europe Limited’s websites offering games and found shortcomings in the company’s information responsibility. The company is therefore being issued with a reprimand and a sanction fee of SEK 80,000.

The review shows that information to varying degrees has been missing from all websites. Among other things, the licensee’s telephone number and email address have been missing from the home pages. Several of the websites have also lacked information about the risks that may be associated with gambling.
