Developing a Brand

Roobet cofounder Matt Duea explained that bringing on Snoop Dogg, a celebrity who rarely needs an introduction, is about building the crypto casino’s brand. Launched in 2019, Roobet claims to be one of the fastest-growing crypto casinos in the world.

Since day one, our mission has been to push the boundaries of what a gaming brand can be, and Snoop’s a real visionary,” said Duea. “Together, we’re going to truly revolutionize the online entertainment experience.”

Duea explained that Roobet seeks to provide the “most exciting and immersive online casino experience” available. “With Snoop by our side, the future of digital entertainment is looking brighter than ever,” Duea added.

Snoop said he was attracted to the sponsorship opportunity because of Roobet’s brand uniqueness.

“These guys are doing something different,” Snoop said. “This partnership just feels natural, and we’re going to blaze a trail for the future of online entertainment.”

Roobet said Snoop will lend his entertainment industry and brand expertise to the casino enterprise.

Crypto Rebound

The December arrest of Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder and CEO of FTX, once a leading cryptocurrency exchange, devastated the crypto industry.

Before his arrest in the Bahamas, where FTX was headquartered, Bitcoin was trading above $20K. Bankman-Fried is being charged with wire fraud, commodities fraud, securities fraud, money laundering, and campaign finance law violations. The FTT cryptocurrency went into a nosedive, and the stock traded below $17K just weeks later.

Bankman-Fried is alleged to have used customers’ FTX crypto holdings to make risky investments through another company he founded, Alameda Research. When reports surfaced about FTX funds being improperly used to fund Alameda, customers began withdrawing their crypto holdings, which led to FTX filing for bankruptcy when it couldn’t complete the requested transactions.

Some Wall Street observers believed FTX’s demise would permanently hurt the crypto markets, but prices have since rebounded. Bitcoin is trading above $23,300 as of Thursday morning — though that’s about 47% below where the digital currency was trading at this time last year.
