Co-founders of an American gambling company, FanDuel, announced the launch of a new sportsbook and crypto casino, BetHog, with $6 million in funding to support its growth and development.

The BetHog platform will be offering different casino games, including unique BetHog Originals and games from studios like Pragmatic Play and Evolution. The $6 million funding was done by famous industry names 6MV, Will Ventures, and Chris Grove from Eilers & Krejcik.

Serge Kassardjian, General Partner at 6MV, said:

“We are thrilled to be backing Nigel and the entire team at BetHog on this investment. We think they are perfectly positioned to unlock this massive opportunity to build the most innovative online casino and betting platform of this era of crypto. We believe this will bring in a diverse audience of crypto and non-crypto gamers to enjoy this differentiated and fun gambling experience.”

Nigel Eccles, co-founder and CEO of BetHog, said: 

“The crypto casino market has seen dramatic growth over the past few years driven by innovations like provably fair games, robust VIP programs, and streaming. With BetHog, my goal is to innovate even further by bringing unique and highly visual games to market. I want to offer users unique play-along and skill-based titles combined with a robust VIP offering, but most of all, this is about maximizing fun for our users.”

BetHog Originals include crash and mine games and a player-versus-player option where users can play alongside popular streamers for a more interactive experience.
