FanDuel Co-Founders Launch Crypto Casino and Sportsbook Company, BetHog, and Secure $6M Seed Round
BetHog, a new cryptocurrency casino and sportsbook, has announced its public launch with $6 million in seed funding led by 6MV with participation from Will Ventures, Bullpen Capital, Karatage, Advancit Capital and several angel investors including Chris Grove, Partner Emeritus at Eilers & Krejcik LLC and Josh Hannah, co-founder of Flutter Entertainment.
Founded by serial tech entrepreneurs and co-founders of sportsbook FanDuel, Nigel Eccles and Rob Jones, BetHog is underpinned by decades of experience and trust. The platform has emerged from private alpha with a variety of casino games, including exclusive BetHog Originals and fan favourites from popular studios such as Pragmatic and Evolution. Borrowing from the team’s vast experience of building consumer entertainment products, the BetHog Originals include innovative variants of crash and mines, and a completely new approach to player versus player games. These games include a first-of-its-kind feature that allows consumers to play alongside their favourite streamers.
“The crypto casino market has seen dramatic growth over the past few years driven by innovations like provably fair games, robust VIP programs and streaming. With BetHog, my goal is to innovate even further by bringing unique and highly visual games to market. I want to offer users unique play-along and skill-based titles, combined with a robust VIP offering, but most of all, this is about maximizing fun for our users,” said Nigel Eccles, Co-founder & CEO of BetHog.
The BetHog casino is built on Solana with SOL being the supporting token for their PvP titles. In addition, BetHog also accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT on their other titles. BetHog is now available globally with a number of jurisdictional restrictions (including US and UK).
With this first round of funding, BetHog will prioritise investment in product development while scaling the business via strategic partnerships.
“We are thrilled to be backing Nigel and the entire team at BetHog on this investment. We think they are perfectly positioned to unlock this massive opportunity to build the most innovative online casino and betting platform of this era of crypto. We believe this will bring in a diverse audience of crypto and non-crypto gamers to enjoy this differentiated and fun gambling experience,” said Serge Kassardjian, General Partner at 6MV.

Aviatrix Launches New Loot Boxes to Deepen Progression and Reward Paths
Aviatrix has launched a new Loot Box feature for its premier crash game, presenting collectible rewards, free bets, and progression bonuses aimed at boosting long-term player engagement.
Loot Boxes are granted through a daily rewards mechanism, with players obtaining them according to their in-game actions and advancement. Every box holds a variety of rewards, such as aircraft skins, complimentary bets, and aviation experience points.
The feature enhances Aviatrix’s developing loyalty system, providing players with fresh options to personalize their aircraft and earn rewards through continuous engagement.
Anastasia Rimskaya, Chief Account Officer at Aviatrix, said: “Loot Boxes are part of our wider vision for Aviatrix as a connected multi-game universe. As we expand our iGaming Metaverse, features like Loot Boxes add another meaningful layer to how players build their profile, customise their aircraft and earn rewards across the ecosystem.”
Unveiled in February, the Aviatrix iGaming Metaverse signifies the supplier’s shift from a standalone crash game to an integrated multi-title ecosystem.
Starting with the imminent debut of Aviatrix Second Chance and continuing with upcoming titles like Aviatrix Fruits and Aviatrix Mines, every game will utilize a single integrated player profile, progression system, and rewards and achievements framework.
