Mando, a co-founder of YEET Casino, announced today via Twitter that the crypto-native gambling platform has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing $270 million in lifetime volume. The announcement highlights the rapid growth of the platform, which was co-founded by Mando, KeyboardMonkey3, and professional poker player Ben Lamb.
"Just hit $270m lifetime volume @YEET," Mando stated in the tweet, further noting, "This is a site I helped co-found with @KeyboardMonkey3 & @BenbaLamb."
YEET Casino launched in 2024 with a mission to create a gambling experience tailored for the crypto community. The platform secured $7.75 million in a seed funding round led by Dragonfly, with participation from notable angel investors including Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz and LayerZero CEO Bryan Pellegrino. This substantial backing underscores investor confidence in the crypto-native casino model.
The founding team brings diverse expertise to the venture. Mando and KeyboardMonkey3 are recognized figures within the crypto space, while Ben Lamb is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner with over $20 million in career earnings. According to Lamb, YEET's deep roots in crypto culture and its focus on rapid, crypto-based transactions differentiate it from competitors.
YEET Casino currently offers a wide array of traditional casino games, including over 4,500 slots, and plans to introduce sports betting in the near future. The platform operates under Anjouan and Curacao licenses, targeting markets in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Canada, and select European countries, with a current restriction on U.S. users. The company emphasizes its "Crypto's Casino" tagline, aiming to resonate with traders, DeFi users, and NFT collectors.
The platform's growth is further supported by its affiliate and VIP programs, which include tier-matching incentives for high-volume players from other major crypto casinos. This strategy, combined with the promise of future token airdrops for active users, aims to incentivize engagement and foster a loyal community. YEET Casino's swift rise in volume positions it as a significant player in the evolving landscape of decentralized gambling.
