Former FanDuel executives team up to launch BetHog

Launches

Nigel Eccles and Rob Jones are no strangers to shaking up the industry. Their work at FanDuel, one of the biggest fantasy sports platforms, and Eccles’ subsequent creation of BetDex, a blockchain-powered betting exchange, prove that these two know how to push boundaries.

With BetHog, they’re targeting the fast-growing market of crypto gambling, bringing their experience to a new arena.

BetHog’s mission is both simple and ambitious: leverage blockchain technology to create a fair, engaging, and cutting-edge gambling experience. At the core of BetHog’s vision is the desire to deliver not just entertainment, but also a sense of community and player empowerment — elements often missing in traditional gambling platforms.

BetHog is not just about games; it’s about building a community. Eccles and Jones know the power of community better than anyone. With FanDuel, they fostered a passionate user base that championed the product. They’re aiming to recreate that magic with BetHog.

To that end, BetHog encourages players to engage, compete, and grow together within the platform. The company has also been attracting top talent — like the Partnerships Manager, who will help build valuable relationships to grow BetHog’s community. The focus is on people who believe in community, transparency, and innovation, fitting perfectly into BetHog’s philosophy.

Speaking of talent, BetHog recently made headlines by hiring Kyle Wachtel as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). With extensive experience in both crypto and marketing, Kyle is tasked with taking BetHog’s brand to new heights and growing its community of players. The announcement was made on LinkedIn, further showcasing BetHog’s commitment to bringing on the best in the industry to lead its charge.

Crypto gambling is still young, but it’s growing fast. Platforms like BetHog are leading the way in shaping what this emerging space will become. With the experience that Eccles and Jones bring, they see a huge opportunity in redefining how online gambling works alongside cryptocurrencies.

The use of cryptocurrencies at BetHog allows for faster transactions, lower fees, and more control for players. Say goodbye to the headaches of traditional online casinos — transaction fees, geographic restrictions, and long withdrawal times. BetHog’s integration of crypto removes intermediaries, giving players full control over their funds.

BetHog also plans to collaborate with blockchain networks to ensure liquidity, speed, and security. With partnerships like Solana — which is known for its speed and low transaction costs — BetHog is striving to offer a player-friendly platform that aligns with the demands of modern, crypto-savvy users.
