Betmode Expands Web3 Online Casino Ecosystem With Official BONK-Branded Games
New York, New York, August 25th, 2026, Chainwire
The on-chain gaming platform will launch officially licensed BONK titles, bringing one of crypto’s most recognizable community brands into transparent, probably fair casino entertainment.
Betmode, the on-chain iGaming platform built around fully verifiable gameplay and instant crypto settlement, has announced a strategic partnership with BONK, the community token that has grown into one of the most widely recognized brands in Web3. Under the collaboration, Betmode will launch officially branded BONK games on its platform, giving BONK holders and the broader crypto audience a new, interactive way to engage with a brand that has become synonymous with community-driven crypto culture.
The partnership marks a significant expansion of Betmode’s ecosystem and signals a broader shift in how established Web3 brands are moving beyond trading and DeFi into consumer entertainment.
Betmode operates what it describes as the world’s most transparent online casino. Rather than asking players to trust a centralized operator, the platform records its games, bankroll, and payouts on-chain, allowing anyone to verify outcomes independently. Its model, often referred to as GambleFi, merges iGaming with decentralized finance principles: deposits and withdrawals settle in crypto near-instantly, odds and incentive wallets are publicly visible, and the platform’s guiding principle is summed up in its tagline, “Trust the chain, not the house.”
The platform’s library spans original in-house titles alongside slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, crash games, live casino tables, and game shows. Its originals, including fast-format games such as Heads or Tails and Crossing, have proven particularly well suited to crypto-native audiences who value quick sessions, provable fairness, and low-friction play. The BONK collaboration extends that catalogue with themed experiences built around one of the most identifiable mascots in the industry.
The timing reflects real momentum. Betmode has emerged as one of the most active applications in the Tezos gaming ecosystem, which closed out a record 2025. According to ecosystem data reported by Cryptonomist, Betmode generated 2.74 million transactions in the final quarter of the year, accounting for 63 percent of all gaming transactions across the ecosystem in that period. The wider Tezos gaming sector reached 440,000 monthly active users across the main chain and Etherlink, its EVM-compatible layer, during 2025, and by December was recording 130,000 monthly active users and 4.3 million transactions through its flagship titles. Gaming now represents more than 80 percent of active users across the Tezos ecosystem, making it the network’s dominant growth driver.
That foundation matters for a platform like Betmode. Tezos and Etherlink offer fast finality, low transaction costs, and energy-efficient proof-of-stake infrastructure, qualities that make high-frequency gaming activity economically viable on-chain. For a casino model built on verifiability, where every wager and payout produces a blockchain transaction, that throughput is not a nice-to-have but a structural requirement. The ecosystem’s maturation over the past year, including the entry of established Web2 studios and infrastructure upgrades aimed squarely at gaming workloads, has given on-chain entertainment platforms a credible technical home.
BONK brings the other half of the equation: audience and cultural reach. Launched on Solana in late 2022 as a token distributed broadly to the community, BONK has grown far beyond its origins as a memecoin. It now sits at the center of an expanding ecosystem that includes trading tools, gaming initiatives, and community applications, and its dog mascot has become one of the most recognizable images in crypto. Few Web3 brands command the same combination of scale, loyalty, and mainstream visibility, which is precisely what makes it a logical flagship partner for a branded gaming push.
“From day one, Betmode has been about proving that online gaming can be transparent, fair, and genuinely fun at the same time,” said Felix, CEO of Betmode. “Branded games are the natural next chapter of that vision, and there was never any real question about who we wanted to launch with. BONK is not just a token, it is one of the strongest communities in this industry, built on humor, loyalty, and a culture that people actually want to be part of. Bringing that energy into verifiable, on-chain gaming experiences is exactly the kind of entertainment we believe Web3 should be producing. This partnership sets the template for what comes next on our platform.”
The BONK-branded titles will sit alongside Betmode’s existing catalogue and carry the same on-chain verifiability as the rest of the platform. For the BONK community, the games offer a form of engagement that goes beyond holding, trading, or social participation: a branded entertainment product where the community’s identity is embedded in the experience itself. For Betmode, the launch establishes a repeatable model for working with Web3 brands whose communities are looking for new places to gather and play.
The partnership also introduces a direct link between gameplay and token economics. A portion of the fees generated by the BONK-branded games will go toward buying and burning $BONK, a mechanic built around the same values that have defined BONK from the start: transparency, community-first design, and deflationary supply. It is the same buy-and-burn approach Betmode and BONK already put to work through BonkFun, now extended into this new branded gaming vertical.
The company has indicated that BONK is the first of several planned branded experiences, with its roadmap focused on expanding the originals catalogue, deepening liquidity and reward mechanics for players, and bringing additional recognizable crypto brands onto the platform. The approach mirrors a broader industry pattern in which strong token communities increasingly behave like consumer brands, extending into merchandise, live events, licensed games, and media rather than remaining confined to financial use cases.
“The BONK community has always been about driving adoption” said Nom, core contributor of BONK. “We have spent the past years building real products and real utility around the token, and gaming is one of the most natural extensions of that. Partnering with Betmode lets us give our community something genuinely fun: official BONK games on a platform where fairness is not a promise but something you can verify yourself. This is about making Web3 more entertaining and more accessible, and about showing that a community brand can live well beyond traditional crypto use cases.”
The collaboration arrives at a moment when the line between crypto communities and consumer entertainment brands is visibly blurring. Tokens with strong identities are seeking cultural surface area, while gaming platforms are seeking communities with built-in reach. Partnerships like this one suggest the two sides are beginning to find each other in earnest.
For Betmode, the BONK launch is both a product release and a statement of direction: that the future of its casino ecosystem lies in pairing transparent on-chain infrastructure with the brands and communities that define Web3 culture. With the Tezos gaming ecosystem entering 2026 on record momentum and branded experiences now part of its roadmap, Betmode is positioning itself at the intersection of two of crypto’s most durable trends, verifiable entertainment and community-driven brands. Further collaborations are expected to follow.
