In just three months since its launch, YEET, a crypto casino built by recognizable names from the poker and crypto world, has crossed $450 million in volume and amassed over 15,000 users, making it one of the fastest-growing gambling platforms in the crypto space.
Star-Studded Founding Team: From Poker Champion to Crypto OGs
YEET's founders are far from anonymous operators. The team includes Ben Lamb, a World Series of Poker champion; Mando, co-founder of the well-known crypto project rektguy; and Keyboard Monkey (KBM), a longtime crypto trader and NFT collector. Their combined expertise and public identities provide a strong layer of trust for users.
Unlike many anonymous crypto casinos, YEET operates with full transparency, offering provably fair games, seamless multi-chain deposits, and average withdrawal times measured in seconds. The platform holds gaming licenses from both Anjouan and Curaçao, ensuring regulatory compliance.
Strong Backing: $7.75M Seed Round Led by Dragonfly
Before going live, the YEET team had been building in stealth since May 2024 and closed a $7.75 million seed round at a $42.5 million valuation. The round was led by Dragonfly, with participation from Mirana Ventures, Primitive Ventures, Spencer Ventures, and angel investors including Luca Netz (Pudgy Penguins founder) and Santiago Santos.
“Our approach is pretty simple,” said co-founder Ben Lamb. “We’re building the kind of casino we’d actually want to use: fast, clean, crypto-friendly, and fully transparent about who’s behind it.”
Roadmap: Sportsbook, Airdrop Rewards, and Original On-Chain Games
Looking ahead, YEET is rolling out several new features: a custom-built sportsbook, a crypto-native airdrop and rewards system, and a suite of original games designed around on-chain culture. The platform is currently live across Europe, Asia, Canada, Latin America, and other select markets, with ongoing global expansion.
As competition in the crypto gambling sector intensifies, YEET is redefining the standard with its combination of celebrity founders, transparency, and strong institutional backing. For crypto enthusiasts seeking speed, fairness, and fun, YEET presents a compelling new option.
