DuelNow Secures $11 Million, Fueling Decentralized Sports Betting Revolution
01 Agosto 2024 - 9:40AM
DuelNow is thrilled to announce that it has received a $10M
investment commitment from GEM Digital Limited, with an additional
$1m secured from notable industry angel investors - a significant
moment for the player-first decentralized sports betting
marketplace. Among the group of investors is Charlie Lee, the
creator of Litecoin, Richard Ma, the founder & CEO of
Quantstamp, and Billy Markus, the creator of Dogecoin, as well as
Crypto Rand, Mooncat, Marc van der Chijs, HardBank,
Jonathan Lee, Joseph Cheong, Ethan (Rampage) Yau, Dean Thomas, and
more.
This considerable investment delivers a strong message to the
betting world - decentralized sports betting is here, and it’s here
to stay. Global bettor demand has been driving a betting
revolution, and DuelNow will be empowering sports
bettors to take complete control over their experiences.
DuelNow utilizes the highly respected Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain,
Arbitrum, to create a truly peer-to-peer betting platform with
absolute transparency and lightning-fast speeds, whilst also taking
the house out of the equation resulting in lower fees, higher
payouts, and a bettor-centric experience. $11 million in new
capital will see DuelNow’s industry-leading team dedicate
themselves to growth, awareness, and establishing the platform as
the market leader while championing the use of blockchain
technology to elevate the sports betting landscape. Bettors will
begin to feel confident in their additional levels of control,
freedom, and fairness.
DuelNow will disrupt the betting industry and empower users in
equal measure, redefining standards in crypto gambling and
blockchain betting along the way. By eliminating heavy sign-up
requirements, disadvantageous odds-making, financial exclusivity,
inflexibility, and poor user experience, DuelNow is catching the
attention of frustrated betters who believe that betting shops and
websites should do better.
For now, NFL, MLB, NBA, and MMA fans can visit DuelNow to craft
a custom betting experience that levels the playing field for
bettors by removing the house advantage. Additional sports will be
added as the product develops.
The on-chain sports betting market seems to be grabbing
mindshare as people look beyond the success of Polymarket’s
prediction market. Notable figures such as Mike
Ippolito (Co-Founder of Blockworks)
and AltcoinPsycho have recently shared their thoughts and
expressed bullish sentiment on the market segment.
DuelNow dedicates itself to listing new sports and custom
betting options for personalized competition. This could see
real-life friends use DuelNow for P2P sports bets on their favorite
sports. The goal is to craft a marketplace where bettors are
empowered, given a voice, and feel like they are in control. Those
who start using DuelNow in the short term will see the future of
crypto sports betting disrupted in the long term, and the recent
investment funds will see to that.
