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.

Million Games launches Give Me The Money crash game with player-controlled multipliers

Million Games has launched Give Me The Money, a new arcade-style crash game aimed at operators and aggregators, the supplier said on 25 June 2026. The title was announced from Skövde, Sweden.

Set in a carnival-themed environment, the game puts players behind a “money gun” that fires stacks of cash at a target to increase the multiplier. Million Games said progression is not automatic, with players controlling the pace via a FIRE mechanic that increases fire-rate while also increasing the chance of an instant crash event.

The release includes selectable low and high volatility modes, optional auto cashout, and rounds that can end immediately on a crash. Players can cash out at any point before a crash occurs, with Million Games stating a maximum win potential of up to x1000.

“With Give Me The Money, we wanted to build something simple, energetic, and immediately understandable,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “The game takes familiar crash mechanics and adds a layer of player interaction that creates a different kind of pressure and pacing.”

Give Me The Money expands Million Games’ portfolio of crash formats, following titles including Chicken X and Temple X. The supplier said the game is now available for operators and aggregators.

Global TV Experts launches GTE Pacific ahead of New Zealand licensing

Global TV Experts has launched a New Zealand-focused operation, GTE Pacific, after securing access to nationwide television advertising inventory for licensed online gambling operators entering the country’s newly regulated market. The company announced the move in Auckland on 25 June, 2026.

The launch comes as New Zealand prepares to award up to 15 online casino licences, with licensed operators expected to begin launching later this year. Global TV Experts said competition is already building for early brand visibility and customer acquisition.

Ben Wilcockson, founder of Global TV Experts, said: “The winners in New Zealand will be decided long before the first bet is placed.

“This is a rare opportunity to launch into a regulated market with no established online casino leaders and no entrenched player habits. The operators that build awareness first will have a genuine opportunity to shape the market.

“With only a limited number of licences available and a finite amount of premium television inventory, the race to secure visibility has already started. That’s why we’ve launched GTE Pacific and secured nationwide inventory to help operators maximise their opportunity from day one.”

Global TV Experts said GTE Pacific is backed by its wider network, which it says has more than 15 years of experience supporting regulated gambling operators across more than 50 markets, including assisting partners entering newly regulated markets such as Ontario. The agency said it focuses on television campaigns and supporting operators in navigating advertising regulations.
