Bitblox, the provider behind popular crypto price prediction games such as 3 in a Row, has announced it will receive backing from YOLO Investments, a venture capital firm with a focus on blockchain and fintech.
YOLO Investments has been a long-time supporter of Bitblox, with its proprietary iGaming platform, Hub88, among the first to integrate the company’s innovative games when it launched in the summer of 2024. Since then, Bitblox’s games have gained traction within the industry, particularly with their unique blend of skill-based games (SBGs) and games of chance, attracting interest from both sports bettors and casino players.
Bitblox’s portfolio now includes an accelerated version of its flagship game, Up or Down? Turbo, along with a more casual offering in Bitslap. The company has plans to expand its presence in the iGaming sector, with a number of new releases scheduled for 2025.
The partnership with YOLO Investments is expected to bolster Bitblox’s ambitions, providing additional support to help bring crypto-based betting to a wider audience. Both parties are optimistic that this collaboration will contribute to the growth of crypto betting within the iGaming space.
Brandt Page, Chief Executive Officer at Bitblox, said: “YOLO Investments is a company with a proven track record for identifying opportunities in the cryptocurrency-focused igaming space, so we’re very happy to have received a huge vote of confidence from them in the form of this partnership.
“As one of the early adopters of our games on its Hub88 platform, Yolo has witnessed first hand the potential Bitblox titles have in driving engagement from both sports bettors and casino players and I’m confident with their backing, we’ll be able to achieve more great things in 2025.”
Klen Kaljulaid, Principal at YOLO Investments, said: “We value innovative products that break away from the traditional 3×3 reels so beloved by the industry. Bitblox games provide a sense of control, reminiscent of cash games. I particularly appreciate knowing that the results are tied to real-world price movements rather than relying on RNG. While I understand the future is inherently unpredictable, I can, at least in theory, hold onto the illusion of knowing where the market might move—and if proven right, take satisfaction in my understanding of market dynamics.”
