BetHog, a new cryptocurrency casino and sportsbook, has announced its public launch with $6 million in seed funding led by 6MV with participation from Will Ventures, Bullpen Capital, Karatage, Advancit Capital and several angel investors including Chris Grove, Partner Emeritus at Eilers & Krejcik LLC and Josh Hannah, co-founder of Flutter Entertainment.

Founded by serial tech entrepreneurs and co-founders of sportsbook FanDuel, Nigel Eccles and Rob Jones, BetHog is underpinned by decades of experience and trust. The platform has emerged from private alpha with a variety of casino games, including exclusive BetHog Originals and fan favourites from popular studios such as Pragmatic and Evolution. Borrowing from the team’s vast experience of building consumer entertainment products, the BetHog Originals include innovative variants of crash and mines, and a completely new approach to player versus player games. These games include a first-of-its-kind feature that allows consumers to play alongside their favourite streamers.

“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,” said Nigel Eccles, Co-founder & CEO of BetHog.

The BetHog casino is built on Solana with SOL being the supporting token for their PvP titles. In addition, BetHog also accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT on their other titles. BetHog is now available globally with a number of jurisdictional restrictions (including US and UK).

With this first round of funding, BetHog will prioritise investment in product development while scaling the business via strategic partnerships.

“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,” said Serge Kassardjian, General Partner at 6MV.

Fast Track has successfully renewed its SOC 2 accreditation for the second consecutive year, including the completion of its Type 2 report. This renewal affirms the company’s continued adherence to internationally recognised standards for information security.

The SOC 2 Type 2 report is based on an independent audit that evaluates not only the design but also the operational effectiveness of an organisation’s controls over an extended period. This distinguishes it from the Type 1 report, which assesses controls at a specific point in time.

This accreditation is particularly relevant for Fast Track’s role in providing real-time player engagement solutions to the iGaming industry, where data protection and system reliability are critical. Maintaining SOC 2 compliance ensures that Fast Track’s clients can rely on secure and consistent service.

Fast Track supports hundreds of operators globally, enabling real-time orchestration of player communications and rewards. The company’s platform leverages AI to deliver personalised user experiences at scale.
