Kero Gaming announced today the closing of an oversubscribed $2 Million Seed 2 round, its second this year, with Happyhour.io, an early stage VC fund in the iGaming space, leading the round.

Tomash Devenishek, Founder and CEO, launched the company with a focus on providing the growing sports betting industry with new products to engage users through real-time, contextual micro bets, delivered via algorithms the company builds in-house. The Kero product heavily mirrors mechanics of casino style games with a ‘Tik-tok style’ betting experience whitelabeled for gaming operators that appeals to an audience of consumers looking for entertainment value vs risk trading.

“Modern day consumers don’t want to think too much and endlessly browse/calculate odds inside massive spreadsheets. They want instant gratification and low friction/effort type experiences. We are building a curated version of the sportsbook product that delivers contextual micro bets every 15-45 seconds, allowing users to bet on the most exciting thing that is happening in the game right now”.

He added “We were able to surpass our fundraising ambitions thanks to great strategic partners all of whom add value beyond capital. I am also proud that in this tough market we increased our post-money valuation by 60% doing so in only 10 months.”

HappyHour’s CEO Robin Reed said, “Kero is at the forefront of innovation in sports betting, and has a deep understanding of the customer and how they want to be entertained. As a strategic investor and lead in the current round, Happyhour is looking forward to working with Tomash and his team to bring this technology to casual bettors around the world.”

Other strategic investors from the gaming space echoed the enthusiasm for the 30 person company. Tim Heath, GP at Yolo Investments, another participant in the latest round, said: “Finding genuine innovation in the sports betting space is increasingly difficult, and that’s why we’ve been so impressed by Kero Gaming. Micro Betting has the potential to drive sportsbook growth over the coming years, and Kero’s algorithmic approach sets them apart from the others. We’ll be working closely with Tomash and the team to take this product to new audiences globally.”

Edward King, co-founder of Acies Investments, an early investor in Kero, added “Tomash has consistently exceeded expectations from our first investment in Kero. We are very pleased to further support him in this financing round as he continues to build the platform. Kero has the vision and capability to radically transform how fans engage and participate in sports entertainment.”

Traditional sports book products typically offer customers a lot of choice with complicated arrays of odds on bets for outcomes that may not take place for hours or sometimes days. Kero’s approach borrows heavily from mainstream entertainment platforms such as TikTok by removing complexity and curating highly contextual micro bets on outcomes that may happen in seconds or minutes.

The company initially productized its technology by working with pro sports teams across all American major leagues as a free to play fan engagement solution within their apps. Kero says that it will continue to focus on the free-to-play offering for pro sports while making heavy investments in scaling and growing its real money product for gaming operators.

Devenishek concluded “With this injection of capital and industry experience, we intend to continue focusing on our mission and bring about the next generation of sportsbook products even faster to markets like North America, Europe, LATAM and Asia”.

Crypto.Casino Launches to Bring Transparency and Trust to Crypto Casinos

Published

on

Crypto.Casino, a new independent review and feedback platform, today announced the official launch of its website, designed to help players navigate the crypto casino space with greater confidence, transparency, and trust.

As cryptocurrency-based gambling platforms continue to grow rapidly, players often face limited information, inconsistent standards, and a lack of reliable oversight. Crypto.Casino addresses this gap by providing in-depth reviews, user-submitted feedback, and community-driven ratings of crypto casinos from around the world.

“Trust is the biggest missing piece in the crypto casino industry,” said Lawrence W at Crypto.Casino. “Our goal is to give players a clear, unbiased view of platforms before they commit their time or funds—and to give reputable operators a way to stand out.”

Community-Driven Approach to Transparency

Crypto.Casino operates as a neutral, independent platform that evaluates crypto casinos based on key factors such as fairness, security practices, user experience, payment reliability, and customer support. In addition to expert reviews, the site empowers real users to share their firsthand experiences—positive or negative—helping create a more accountable ecosystem.

Key features of Crypto.Casino include

  • Independent reviews of crypto casino platforms
  • User-generated ratings and verified feedback
  • Clear breakdowns of strengths, risks, and red flags
  • Educational content to help users make informed decisions

Raising Standards Across the Industry

By aggregating real-world experiences and highlighting best practices, Crypto.Casino aims to encourage higher standards across the crypto casino sector. Platforms that treat players fairly gain visibility, while those that fall short are held accountable through transparent reporting.

Crypto.Casino is now live and accessible at https://crypto.casino

Finding the Best Crypto Casino Reviews

As part of its ongoing development, Crypto.Casino will be rolling out additional features that allow users to leave detailed feedback and reviews based on their overall experience with crypto casino platforms. Users will also be able to request independent audits of specific casinos, helping to surface concerns around fairness, transparency, and operational practices. These features are designed to give the community a stronger voice while encouraging higher standards and accountability across the industry.

About Crypto.Casino

Crypto.Casino is an independent online platform dedicated to reviewing cryptocurrency-based casinos and amplifying user feedback. With a focus on transparency, accountability, and consumer protection, Crypto.Casino helps players make informed choices in an industry where trust is often lacking.

Atlaslive Concludes ICE Barcelona 2026: Regulation, Safer Gaming, and Faster Platform Execution Define 2026 Outlook

Atlaslive, a global B2B iGaming technology provider, has wrapped up a productive week at ICE Barcelona 2026, where the industry gathered at Fira Barcelona Gran Via from 19–21 January to define key priorities for the year ahead.

With ICE Barcelona further strengthening its position as a core meeting place for iGaming stakeholders, the event programme highlighted a consistent market direction: regulatory evolution is accelerating, safer gaming requirements are expanding, and operators need product ecosystems that can scale across multiple jurisdictions without compromising player protection. These themes were reflected through sessions such as the World Regulatory Briefing focused on global policy and compliance frameworks, as well as workshops on cybercrime & fraud, safer gaming, and the iGaming customer journey.

For Atlaslive, the event conversations reinforced a clear operational reality across the industry—operators are building growth strategies around platforms that support regulated market expansion, risk control, and faster, more reliable UX delivery.

Atlaslive representatives also completed several interviews during the show, discussing platform strategy and industry expectations across operations, marketing, security, compliance, and responsible gaming.

“ICE Barcelona made it clear that the industry is entering a much more structured and mature phase,” said Anastasiia Poltavets, CMO at Atlaslive. “The focus is shifting from experimentation to efficiency—how fast you can launch, how well you can scale, and how confidently you can operate in regulated environments.”

Across its meetings with operators and partners, Atlaslive discussed market entry demands, infrastructure readiness, and the practical execution behind long-term retention. Topics included reducing friction in onboarding, payments, and player support, as well as integrating responsible gaming tools into the core platform UX rather than positioning them as separate add-ons.

As 2026 progresses amid continued regulatory updates and rising user expectations, Atlaslive will keep advancing platform development to support compliance readiness, safer play tooling, and faster delivery of product experiences across regulated markets.

ThrillTech has partnered with Nordplay Group, a Nordic-focused iGaming operator, to roll out its ThrillPots jackpot solution across multiple casino brands.

As part of the partnership, ThrillPots will be launched on Jubla, Klirr, Popcasino, OneRush, and Frank&Fred, brands operating across regulated Nordic markets.

The collaboration reflects a shared ambition to deliver engaging, compliant, and scalable jackpot experiences across multiple brands. For Nordplay Group, the rollout supports its ongoing strategy to strengthen its position in regulated Nordic markets through trusted technology partnerships.

The launch also marks a continued expansion of ThrillTech’s jackpot technology across Europe, with increasing focus on multi-brand operators. ThrillTech’s platform approach enables consistent jackpot experiences across brands and markets, while allowing operators flexibility in how features are deployed.

Earlier this month, ThrillTech announced the launch of ThrillDrops™, a jackpot-first CRM and retention module designed to increase jackpot engagement for its core product, ThrillPots™, through behaviour-driven mystery cash rewards, allowing operators to reward players automatically based on real behavioural metrics.

Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said:
“Partnering with Nordplay Group is an important step for ThrillTech as we continue to expand across regulated markets. ThrillPots was built to deliver fast-paced, opt-in jackpot experiences, and Nordplay’s multi-brand setup makes them a strong partner for this rollout.”

Nicolad Lund for Nordplay Group commented:
“With our continuous focus on leading in safe and responsible gaming, our players can now opt-in with just a small side-bet to the greater thrills of big to life-changing Jackpots and across any of their favourite games. Taking pride in simplicity, ThrillTech’s ThrillPots was a natural choice in furthering our unique offering as we continue to amplify the fun and entertaining experience we’re known for, all the while staying ahead of regulatory expectations.”
