Nefta Partners with Block Born
Nefta, the Web3 technology platform, has announced a new partnership with blockchain gaming launchpad Block Born, providing support for NFT minting and a white label marketplace.
Founded by esports veterans, Block Born offers developers a comprehensive, accessible and user-friendly toolbox to integrate Game Services like tournaments, battle passes, quests and more. Block Born’s “no-code” admin dashboard allows non-technical marketing and product teams to create, launch and manage Game Services to increase player retention, create new revenue streams and differentiate themselves from competing games. The Block Born Launchpad offers developers a place to crowdfund by selling NFTs, in-game assets, or native tokens, funding new project ideas or content expansions for existing projects.
Nefta’s whitelabel suite and NFT minting tools will be integrated into Block Born’s platform, giving developers easy access to tools for developing successful Web3 games on the Tezos Blockchain, an energy-efficient and self-upgradable proof-of-stake blockchain.
With a team of esports veterans, and a world-class Game Services offering, Block Born strives to onboard dozens of games to the Tezos ecosystem in 2023. Now, with the Nefta partnership, aspiring games studios have the opportunity to centralise all of their Web3 elements in one place.
The partnership will be brought to life through Block Born x Nefta tournaments and Twitter spaces, alongside content focused around improving existing Web3 games, bringing the best of Web2 to Web3 and other technical discussions around the future of the space.
“We are pleased to be part of Block Born’s mission to make Web3 gaming fairer and more accessible, and we’re proud to offer our services to help bring their ambitious projects to life. Block Born is backed by some of the biggest names in the Web3 space, and their expertise combined with Nefta’s comprehensive end-to-end toolbox means we’re able to bring fun and fair Web3 experiences to more gamers,” Geeshan Willink, CEO and Co-Founder of Nefta, said.
Block Born is supported by some of the biggest names in the gaming industry, including the Tezos Foundation, gif.games, Balthazar DAO, Bloometa and Interpop. The new partnership with Nefta further reinforces its commitment to empowering Web3 studios, with a shared goal of making an accessible and streamlined gaming experience on the blockchain.
“With a shared vision of empowering Web3 gaming studios and making the blockchain more accessible, Nefta was the perfect partner to help us focus on building and growing great games. With Nefa’s support, we’re able to focus on what we do best, and help our partners successfully scale their projects, while making it easier than ever to integrate onto the Tezos blockchain,” Will Pazos, SVP of Block Born, said.

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”

Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore. The Counter-Strike event marks the first BLAST-branded event in Southeast Asia and the inaugural Counter-Strike tournament series in the region, solidifying Singapore’s position as a world-class esports destination. We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
