Spartans.com locks in RAF deal ahead of 2026 global iGaming launch
Spartans.com has secured a major partnership with Real American Freestyle (RAF) ahead of its global launch. The deal, worth millions, positions the platform as RAF’s exclusive iGaming partner. Meanwhile, another crypto gambling site, Rainbet, continues to expand its offerings despite regional restrictions. The collaboration between Spartans.com and RAF was announced at RAF09 in Dallas on May 30, 2023. As part of the agreement, Spartans.com became the event’s headline sponsor. The platform’s global launch is set for August 1, 2026, with ambitions to dominate the online bitcoin casino market by the end of that year.
Rainbet operates as a crypto-focused gambling site, hosting over 6,000 casino games and a sportsbook. It supports dozens of cryptocurrencies and provides a tiered VIP program for players. However, access remains blocked in the US, UK, and parts of Europe due to regulatory restrictions. In contrast, PokerStars Ontario launched in June 2022, catering to poker players with fiat payment options. The platform features cash games, tournaments, and its fast-paced Zoom Poker format.
Spartans.com will roll out worldwide in 2026, backed by its RAF partnership and a push for market leadership. Rainbet’s growth continues, though limited by regional bans. PokerStars Ontario, meanwhile, maintains a steady presence in the Canadian poker scene with traditional payment methods.
