The Sports Metaverse pioneers esports with virtual land sales, metaverse personal training, sports betting and fan engagement

The Sports Metaverse, the world’s first virtual world specifically focused on sports, has announced that former professional football players, Shaun Wright Phillips and Jordan Stewart, have purchased land in the Sports Metaverse.

Shaun Wright Philips will use his land for events and to display his NFTs:

“I’m really excited to be involved in the Sports Metaverse. This is the new frontier when it comes to sports. The metaverse and owning a piece of it is about interaction and co creation – watching live sports with friends all around the world, hanging out with friends, and buying and selling NFTs are some of the things I’m really looking forward to doing here.“

Investment into VR real estate in the metaverse has grown exponentially, with brands like Adidas and top influencers looking to establish themselves in the virtual world. In the metaverse where possibilities are endless, investors see the potential to rent a virtual space for parties with sports stars, private lodges to view sporting events in VR stadiums, or offer key brands a space for sponsorship appearances. As a result, early investors are already making tenfold, million dollar profits. The returns are expected to continue to grow as Grayscale Research predicts annual revenues for the metaverse at $1 trillion, with $400 Billion for gaming worlds alone.

In addition to Shaun Wright Philips, Sports Metaverse announced that four companies have already pre-bought land. They include Phat Fantasy, Own the Moment, ThriveFantasy, Press Sports, and Beyond The Game Network. Brands can apply for the private sale here.

SportsIcon COO and Co-Founder Alexi Yovanoff said:

“Both Shaun and Jordan have played at the top of their profession, so it’s an honor to have these athletes join the Sports Metaverse. I still remember the goal that Shaun scored against Manchester United in 2004, and Jordan has had a great career here in the UK and in the USA.
What strikes me the most about these two is their passion for web3, communities, and the interaction with athletes that the Sports Metaverse will give to consumers.”

Shaun Wright Phillips is one of the best players of his generation, playing for England in the National Team, and for Manchester City and Chelsea. Jordan Stewart has had a successful career in both England and the United States at clubs such as Leicester City and the San Jose Earthquakes.

The Sports Metaverse is a digital world devoted solely to sports. It unites the most prominent sports stars, brands, and clubs together in one place. Sports Metaverse is built by SportsIcon and industry veterans from Sony, Doom, Playstation Home, and Nvidia. You can trade NFTs, buy land, interact with iconic sportspeople, and visit stadiums.

SportsIcon is backed by rapper turned investor Nas, Dapper Labs, Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou, Youtube Founder Chad Hurley, Hedera and Reserve Founder Andrew Masanto, and ex NBA star Andrew Bogut.

Join N1 Sport Promo Every FTD Boosts Your CPA!

Published

on

Summer 2026 remains one of the busiest seasons for betting and Prediction Markets traffic. While the decisive FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage matches are still underway and the playoff picture is becoming clearer, N1 Partners affiliates can capitalise on the growing audience interest to scale their traffic with the N1 Sport Promo.

The promotion runs till July 20, meaning there are still several weeks of major sporting events and boosted payouts ahead.

What to launch during N1 Sport Promo?

Over the coming days, football fans will be focused on several high-profile FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage fixtures. Spain will face Uruguay on June 24, while Norway takes on France on June 25.

Audience engagement will remain strong throughout the end of June thanks to several other major sporting events as well, including the NBA Draft on June 25, the NHL Draft on June 26–27, the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix on June 28, and the start of Wimbledon on June 29. In early July, attention will shift to the opening stages of the Tour de France, which kicks off in Barcelona on July 4.

These events traditionally generate spikes in search traffic, social media engagement, and advertiser demand.

Get the most out of N1 Sport Promo: expert insights

The N1 Partners team sat down with Vlad Chernov, Deputy Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners, to answer the hottest questions and help affiliates maximise their payouts.

  1. Which events within N1 Sport Promo have the highest FTD potential?
    “Campaigns built around specific sporting events consistently deliver the strongest FTD performance. For example, UFC at the White House, where underdog Justin Gaethje defeated the lightweight champion via TKO, generated excellent FTD results across our N1 Bet, RollXO, and Lucky Hunter brands. However, FIFA World Cup 2026 is undoubtedly driving the biggest buzz right now. Millions of football fans worldwide are following the tournament and actively placing predictions on a wide range of match outcomes”.
  2. What’s your number one piece of advice for affiliates who want to see results over the next few weeks?
    “Don’t put all your focus on a single event. Stay on top of the sports calendar, react quickly to results, and keep producing fresh, event-driven creatives. This approach consistently attracts a more engaged and higher-quality audience”.
  3. Which traffic sources and strategies are performing best for scaling right now?
    “Event-driven campaigns are delivering the strongest results. They attract higher-quality players who are more likely to stay active over the long term and generate better overall performance. Based on what we’re seeing today, the strongest traffic sources for sports offers are Facebook, ASO, SEO, and tipsters”.
  4. What are the most common mistakes affiliates make during major sporting events?
    “The biggest mistake is relying on generic sports creatives instead of event-specific ones. Another common issue is failing to warm up audiences before major events, especially once CPCs start climbing. We also see affiliates focusing on just one match instead of covering an entire series of events, or sending traffic to brands with an overly long user journey and a complicated registration process”.

N1 Sport Promo explained

N1 Sport Promo runs from June 10 to July 20, 2026, and covers both sports and Prediction Markets traffic across Tier-1 GEOs.

The promotion mechanic is easy: the more qualified FTDs an affiliate delivers, the higher their CPA payout becomes.

  • For SEO and PPC traffic, the CPA increases by €50 for every 10 FTDs, with no cap on earnings growth.
  • For Facebook, In-App, UAC, ASO, Email, and SMS traffic, the CPA increases by €10 for every 30 FTDs, up to +€100 on top of the basic rate.

Full promotion terms are available via the link.

If you haven’t joined the promotion yet, reach out to your affiliate manager or contact LeadGen Chris to get started and make the most of this sports season.

  • 10+ Tier-1 GEOs

Feedback Sought on How Public Lotteries are Run in NSW

Published

feedback-sought-on-how-public-lotteries-are-run-in-nsw

Liquor & Gaming NSW is seeking feedback from industry, stakeholders and the community on how public lotteries are run in NSW.

The Public Lotteries Regulation 2016 is due to expire on 1 September 2026 and Liquor & Gaming NSW intends to renew the regulation to support the legislative framework for lottery regulation, while ensuring it remains fit for purpose.

Public consultation is a key part of the process and the draft Public Lotteries Regulation 2026 and Regulatory Impact Statement will be open for consultation until Friday 10 July.

It is proposed that the regulation will retain most of the existing provisions with some minor amendments to modernise the regulatory framework, remove outdated provisions and improve clarity, consistency and effectiveness.

Before the draft regulation can be remade, legislation requires a formal process of review be undertaken, which includes consultation with the public, interest groups and industry or businesses likely to be affected by the draft regulation.

It’s important for public lotteries to be conducted properly and in line with community interests and expectations, with appropriate harm minimisation measures.

The regulation supports the legislation by setting the standards around the conduct of public lotteries and puts in place consumer protections for people who buy lottery tickets.
