Connor McGregor, a famous MMA fighter, launches his own online casino, realbet.io

Connor McGregor the world renowned MMA Champion and the person that has previously recorded the cooperation with several online casinos as a brand ambassador, has decided to embark on online gambling alone, so he launched a realbet.io online casino that has been active since the late dates of December this year.

The realbet casino is not a new name in gambling. Actually, the very same name was used since 2015 by a totally different casino owner and was active under the Curacao license until it ceased from existence. It was using the www.realbet.eu domain and was available to the US players with Betsoft and Ace Gaming casino games. Their logo was blue and white. 

The new casino under the same name but an .io TLD uses a different logo like a handwritten box and enjoys a totally different licence by a Tobique Gaming Commission (a First Nations regulator based in Canada). It is a very new license, which is not widely recognised in the world and guarantees virtually no protection to place.

Still, it's something that Connor McGregor has chosen, so it's a totally crypto casino, fairly new and very active on X, formerly Twitter. This casino has already amassed some 11,000 followers on X and obviously it capitalizes on the huge base of the sportsman's followers. Let's see how it's going to develop in the future.

Online presence right now is quite modest. The site doesn't even have a referral or affiliate page, so it doesn't recruit affiliates and it obviously works off the social traffic alone. But let's see how it goes further on. There are only a few reviews on this online casino that can be found online and this one is fairly a “black box”.

As we discussed, Connor McGregor has previously been a brand ambassador of dualbits casino as well as M88. Fo sure, realbet.io is not the first casino owned by social influence. Early on we saw the online casino launched by Neimar Junior, the football player, and some remember RooBet, which is known for its exclusive  cooperation with Snoop Dog. Please mind that celebrity endorsements or star ownership can make a casino provider look attractive but always be wary before signing up or depositing money.
