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.

Golden Whale to broaden horizons with Logrand partnership

Pioneering data-driven service provider teams up with fast-growing Mexico-focused online casino group to extend its operations into Latin America for the first time
With Golden Whale’s mission to extend its innovative data-driven services to every corner of the globe continuing to pick up pace, the company has announced it has formed a new partnership with Logrand Entertainment Group that will see it enter Mexico in 2025.
Rightfully recognised as one of the fastest growing markets in the Latin American region, over the coming months Golden Whale will work with Logrand’s Strendus.mx online casino brand to implement a number of AI and ML-backed solutions that will enhance the platform’s operations.
Already one of the country’s best-loved online gambling destinations, Strendus.mx was the first Mexican site launched by Logrand and currently offers customers a market-leading selection of over 4,000 slots, table games and live casino options as well as a dedicated sports betting hub.
Active since 2017, Strendus.mx has steadily built up a loyal following among Mexican players thanks to its generous promotions, popular loyalty scheme and engaging gamification mechanics – all of which are major areas where Golden Whale’s solutions can add further value.
In addition to its commitment to innovation and customer engagement, Strendus.mx also maintains a strong focus on corporate social responsibility. This year, the brand has further strengthened its efforts by supporting a variety of charitable initiatives, including programs that promote donations to institutions dedicated to helping children affected by catastrophic illnesses. These activities reflect Strendus’ broader vision of not only delivering top-tier entertainment but also contributing positively to the communities in which it operates.
Given the wealth of player data the site has accumulated since its launch, there will be plenty of information that can be run through Golden Whale’s advanced AI and ML modules to optimise Strendus.mx’s operations, and both companies are excited about the opportunities ahead.
Eberhard Dürrschmid, CEO at Golden Whale, said: “Many iGaming companies have already woken up to the benefits that Golden Whale’s powerful AI and ML-backed technology can bring, so the next step for us is making sure our solutions are available in as many markets as possible. This new partnership with Logrand will enable us to breach new frontiers in Latin America via the Strendus.mx casino brand and I’m looking forward to seeing the impact we can make there.”
Eduardo Pelaez, COO Online at Logrand Entertainment Group, said: “Launched in 2017, Strendus.mx is already one of Mexico’s flagship online casino brands – but we want to push this legacy further. By partnering with Golden Whale, we’ll be able to harness the power of AI and ML to deliver an even more personalised experience to Strendus.mx’s customers, helping us cement our position as both a genuine innovator and a true market leader in the LatAm region.”

Soft2Bet, a leading turnkey iGaming provider that delivers high-quality products and services for online gambling operators, will exhibit at iGB Live 2025 in London on 2–3 July. Known for its data-driven iGaming solutions for player retention, which drive brand performance across the Nordic, European, and North American markets, the company will host One-on-One Workshop Sessions at Stand N46 and participate in key discussions where major market developments are explored. Attendees can explore its full-service platform alongside MEGA, the gamification layer behind recent revenue growth across its operator portfolio.
Over the past six months since ICE 2025 Barcelona, Soft2Bet has launched new brands, secured new deals, and formed strategic partnerships across key markets. During this period, the company continues to track strong operator results, with measurable gains across core performance indicators. Brands using Soft2Bet’s platform have seen a 65% increase in net gaming revenue and a 45% rise in average revenue per user. Player screen time has quadrupled. Deposit values are up 50%, with deposit frequency increasing by 30%.
These results are driven by MEGA’s real-time missions, challenges, and loyalty features, along with integrated player account management, a proprietary CMS, access to over 12,500 casino games through a single integration, a full sportsbook, a flexible payments hub, and adaptive operating models backed by no-code tools and analytics.
This momentum is reflected in the performance of Soft2Bet’s brands, including Betinia, CampoBet, ToonieBet, QuickCasino, and Don.ro. These have been recognised by major industry awards and approved by reputable regulators. Their success is further supported by a strong focus on UX and UI innovation, helping each brand to implement effective localised strategies. As a result, they have achieved leading positions in app stores, resonating strongly with local users and fans.
“iGB Live is a valuable moment to show how our technology moves beyond traditional methods of player engagement,” stated Martin Collins, Chief Business Development Officer of Soft2Bet. “We’ll be sharing real examples of how MEGA and the wider Soft2Bet platform work as a unified ecosystem where design, personalisation, and gamification come together to support stronger engagement and long-term results.”
To help prospective partners apply these results to their own operations, Soft2Bet will offer one-to-one MEGA workshops during the show. These 30-minute sessions, led by Sales Director Nicolas Campano and Senior Sales Managers Ross Main and Slobodan Georgijevski will run across both exhibition days and offer a hands-on look at how MEGA drives engagement, retention, and player value.
