FUN Token Is Moving 250,000 Users to Polygon With Layer-2 Token
Who doesn’t like success stories?
In 2021, one of the biggest success stories in crypto has been that of FUN Token, an ERC-20 token with an incredible vision – bringing decentralized online gambling to the mainstream.
Not long ago, this vision was in danger as rising Ethereum gas fees made on-chain transactions untenable for FUN Token. Along came FreeBitco.in with a unique use case and acquired the token in February.
FUN Token hasn’t looked back since…
FUN Token’s Journey in 2021
FreeBitco.in, the seventh-largest online casino in the world, harnessed FUN Token for its Premium Membership program, moving its use case completely off-chain. Through this project, FUN Token gained exposure to over 46 million users.
Subsequently, FreeBitco.in acquired the token and built a new team around the token, helmed by the vastly experienced Adriaan Brink, formerly of the BETR Foundation. A comprehensive roadmap was laid out.
In a matter of months, FUN Token gained over 170,000 new users, tripling its user base and doing it all off-chain. Noticing its rising popularity, Binance organized a couple of successful trading competitions and added FUN to its Locked Savings program.
And now, FUN Token is taking a massive step towards realizing its ambition with its biggest project yet…
FUN Token Is Moving to the Polygon Network
While an off-chain use case is a clever workaround, achieving true decentralization in online gambling is only possible through on-chain activity.
One of the biggest issues facing online gaming is related to operator escrow. When a user places a bet, their funds are moved into escrow until the outcomes are determined. Simultaneously, operators have to ensure sufficient funds are available to settle these bets. By moving operations to a blockchain, these logistical drawbacks are eradicated.
FUN Token sought to solve these issues using the Ethereum blockchain, however, there was a problem.
“FUN suffered tremendously with the rising price and latency of Ethereum transactions, so our first major tech release will be to deal with this issue,” said Adriaan, CEO of FUN Token. “In the next 2 months, we will release a new Layer-2 token on the Polygon network to leverage its high performance and low transaction fees.”
This token will be pegged 1:1 with FUN Token and over 250,000 users will be brought on to the Polygon network. New tokens will be issued in exchange for escrowing FUN Tokens, effectively taking a massive amount of FUN out of circulation and acting as a strategic burn tactic.
In the coming weeks, a full-fledged, truly decentralized casino for the L2 Token will be launched, taking FUN Token closer to its vision of making online gambling transparent, fast, and secure for everyone.
Moving in the Right Direction
The online gambling industry is fraught with unfair practices, long cashout times, and security risks. FUN Token has dedicated itself to bringing decentralization to the industry through carefully planned developments, and a token ecosystem based on a Layer-2 blockchain is definitely a step in the right direction.
FUN Token also plans to utilize 50% of its gaming profits to burn tokens strategically, showing its commitment to making its goal a reality. There’s a long way to go, however, the start couldn’t have been stronger than this.

Groove says its aggregator library passes 20,000 casino games
Groove says it has surpassed 20,000 casino titles on its aggregation platform, up from 15,000 games two years ago. The company said the library now includes content from more than 150 providers and is available to partners worldwide through a single API.
According to Groove, the portfolio spans slots, instant wins, table games, crash games, live dealer and arcade-style content, alongside “emerging verticals including sweepstakes and crypto-native content.” The company said the catalogue is delivered through “one API, one back office, one pipeline,” and positioned the milestone as a curated expansion rather than a volume play.
Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, said: “Twenty thousand games is a number. What matters is what sits behind it…” She added: “We don’t add studios for the sake of volume. We add them because they bring something distinctive: a mechanical innovation, a visual language, a player-engagement hook that our operators can’t get elsewhere. Our partners trust us to curate, not just collect. That trust is why we keep growing, and why the quality curve keeps rising alongside the quantity curve.”
Groove pointed to recent integrations including KingMidas Games (150+ mobile-first titles), Urgent Games and Bryogames, which it said offers “proprietary mathematics with real-time RTP customisation.” For operators, Groove said the full library is accessible via Groove Command, its centralised back-office product, with tools including content matching, regional segmentation and automated tournaments.
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, said: “The aggregation space is crowded with platforms that offer ‘access’ and little else,” adding: “Twenty thousand games through a single API is not just scale. It is a statement.” Meltzer also claimed Groove’s “technology stack with predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, real-time compliance mesh” supports execution “across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision.”

OS Studios names Ishaan Arya country manager to lead India expansion
OS Studios has appointed Ishaan Arya as Country Manager for India, tasking him with leading the agency’s expansion across newly established hubs in Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Mumbai. The appointment was announced on 25 June, 2026 in Bengaluru.
OS Studios, a Project Worldwide agency, said it recently entered the Indian market and will deploy its ‘Fan Z’ approach for brands looking to engage with gaming, esports and live events audiences in South Asia. The company said the expansion will leverage the infrastructure and production capabilities of sister agency George P. Johnson (GPJ) India.
“The future of gaming will be shaped by the communities that care about it most, and few markets embody that more than India,” said John Higgins, CEO of OS Studios. “To build something meaningful, you have to be part of the culture, not looking in from the outside. Ishaan understands that better than anyone. He’s exactly the kind of leader we want building the future of OS Studios in India.”
In the role, Arya will oversee operations, drive strategic brand partnerships, and scale local capabilities, according to the company. “Brands are investing heavily in Indian gaming, but true fan experience is too often an afterthought,” said Rasheed Sait, Chief Growth Officer for India and South Asia at Project Worldwide. “Alongside GPJ India’s experiential footprint, OS Studios will set a new standard for fan engagement in the region.”
Arya previously co-founded The Esports Club and most recently served as Vice President of Partnerships at Nodwin Gaming, where he led Comic Con India. “A massive gap remains between brand intent and authentic community engagement in India,” said Arya. “I’m thrilled to leverage Project Worldwide and GPJ India’s operational strength to build culture-defining experiences for brands and fans alike.”
