BetHog Founder Nigel Eccles on Crypto Gambling’s Evolution and Transparency
Nigel Eccles, co-founder of FanDuel and BetHog, outlines his vision for crypto gambling in an exclusive interview. The industry veteran emphasizes transparency as a core differentiator for BetHog, launched in November 2024, amid a crowded field of 2,000 crypto casinos. "We want users to trust us," Eccles states, noting most competitors operate anonymously.
The discussion highlights crypto's $3.7 trillion market capitalization and its potential to reshape gambling infrastructure. Eccles draws parallels between his 2020 crypto adoption—driven by distrust of traditional finance—and BetHog's mission to create engaging, decentralized gaming experiences. The platform targets global users seeking alternatives to bank-controlled systems.
