Swiss capital enterprise Dialectic , founded and directed by Ryan Zurrer , the recent buyer of Beeple's Human One sculpture, is leading the  private land sale for FRWC's fantastical game. Seven Seven Six , founded by internet entrepreneur and co-founder of Reddit Alexis Ohanian , also joins the initial investment round. Additional investors in the round include Libertus Capital, Kenetic Capital, Placeholder, 1confirmation, WENEW Labs, No Goat Milk (Future Corp) and crypto twitter royalty Fiskantes, Deeze, and Soby.

"As our team at Dialectic spent more time in the Wizards community, we've been constantly impressed by the spirit of innovation around IP rights for Wizard holders and the level of commitment from such a highly engaged and diverse community aptly named a "cult." The remarkable execution led by Dotta, ElfJTrul, and Bearsnake, who have built at an amazing pace, is inspiring. We are committed to continuing to build infrastructure and support the deepening Lore of this special group. We are also grateful to have extraordinary co-investors such as Seven Seven Six and 1confirmation join this land sale. Alexis and Nick are some of the leading minds in the evolution of Web3 culture in the metaverse and I think this validates the quality of the Forgotten Runes Wizard Cult. The future looks bright on the horizon of Alessar's Keep." stated Ryan Zurrer .

"Like many, I discovered Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult when some of my favorite folks in the Web3 community started tweeting these charming, nostalgic JRPG-style avatars. We connected and were impressed by the vision from the teams at Bisonic and Magic Machine. One of my first experiences in leadership came from running a guild in Everquest back in highschool and the early energy that's gathered in the FRWC community feels special," said Alexis Ohanian , Founder, Seven Seven Six. "There's a lot of work to be done to deliver a great game, but projects like this are transforming and leading the development of Web3 and we're honored to join them on this journey."

"We're very excited to have the support of Ryan, Alexis, and the rest of our investors for this project. Their knowledge and excitement for the world of crypto, and their strategic vision will be instrumental in helping us deliver a truly innovative and sustainable new web3 game. We're grateful to have the trust of these visionary community leaders, and excited to continue building this experience, and to open up access to Land to the broader community in the near future," stated Bisonic's leadership team.

"Our Cult is growing everyday, and the impressive teams involved in this investment round are a testament to the viability of our Cult and the Runiverse. With our constant innovation in tokenomics and new modes of storytelling, we are primed for tremendous growth. Teams like Dialectic are as active as the rest of our community, and this range of investors will propel the project to unexplored territories of the fantasy genre." stated ElfJTrul of Magic Machine.

The game's development is well underway and will host a public land sale in the coming months. Tokenized land plots are available at various sizes upon which landowners can build an array of structures including customizable homes, guildhalls, mines, workshops, forges, galleries, battle arenas, and more. While non-property owners can enjoy a full game experience, ownership of land brings additional layers of utility, differentiating the Runiverse from other metaverse land tokens. Players can generate fees based off services provided on property, rent land to other users, harvest resources, and host events like skills competitions, mini game nights, poetry readings and concerts.

The unique blockchain based economy allows rich characters to be created in a democratized setting with diverse PvE and PvP game play. A beta version of the game will go live later this year prior to the game's official launch.

Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult is a decentralized world-building project built on blockchain technology. Token holders own their unique characters and bring fantasy role playing to a whole new level of authenticity. Through a brand new model of decentralized IP ownership, the project is being expressed in a vast array of media. Highlights over the past few months include the community owned "Book of Lore" (on-chain lore scribing), a TV development deal with Titmouse animation (Midnight Gospel), a metaverse video game, production of a 10 comic mini-series, a DAO, and a team-up with Coinbase NFT for exclusive drops.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
