TG3 Expands Interconnected On-Chain iGaming Ecosystem via Etherlink

TG3 forciert Ausbau von Blockchain-Glücksspiel auf Etherlink-BasisAI-GENERATED

Investment firm TG3 is scaling its blockchain-based iGaming network, seeking new partners to enhance transaction transparency and verifiable gaming activity.

The online gambling landscape is experiencing a significant technological shift that extends far beyond simple cryptocurrency payments. TG3 is currently pushing the expansion of an interconnected ecosystem that operates entirely on-chain. The objective is to establish an infrastructure where all processes, from placing a bet to receiving a payout, are mapped directly onto the blockchain. This approach promises an unprecedented level of transparency and security for both operators and end-users alike.

At the heart of these efforts is the search for new partners and founders who can complement the existing network. TG3 does not view itself merely as a financial backer but as a strategic architect of a digital space where various specialized companies interlock. By focusing on on-chain solutions, issues such as lack of transaction visibility or doubts regarding the fairness of gaming algorithms are intended to become things of the past. The technology enables every single gaming activity to be documented in a verifiable and tamper-proof manner.

Numbers and facts

TG3's portfolio already includes an impressive lineup of specialized service providers. This includes infrastructure provider DeGaming, operator BetMode, and the payments business Stable Mint. Additionally, the behavioral intelligence platform theMiracle and streaming infrastructure provider Streaming systems are part of the group. All these companies build on Etherlink as their common blockchain infrastructure. According to company statements from 28 September 2026, the infrastructure is no longer just a theoretical concept but is already live. It is actively generating revenue and processing real-world transactions. TG3 plans to use its presence at the SBC Summit in Lisbon to specifically look for further investment opportunities to extend its technological lead.

Johan Lundberg, CEO of TG3, emphasizes the relevance of this development for the entire industry:

"TG3 wants to back strong businesses that can benefit from what is already in place and add something valuable in return. That is how the ecosystem becomes stronger with every investment. On-chain technology will play an increasingly important role in iGaming."

Background

The decision to use Etherlink as the technical foundation was not accidental. A stable and scalable blockchain is the prerequisite for handling the high transaction volumes occurring in seconds, which are typical in the online casino sector. TG3's vision is for established iGaming companies to no longer fear blockchain technology but to utilize it as a tool for increasing efficiency. Areas such as transaction visibility and verifiable gaming activity are particularly in focus. If a player can be certain that the result of a spin or a hand is immutably recorded on the blockchain, trust in the platform increases significantly.

Furthermore, the networking of individual portfolio companies creates synergy effects. While Stable Mint optimizes payment flows, DeGaming can provide the necessary technical basis for new casino sites. Data analysis through theMiracle allows for a better understanding of gaming behavior and the creation of personalized offers without violating privacy through traditional tracking methods. It is a holistic approach designed to lower the technological barriers for entering the blockchain market.

Why it matters for German players

For players in Germany, the situation is more complex. The Interstate Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021) sets very strict limits for technological experiments. Currently, there is no legal platform in Germany that operates entirely on-chain or allows cryptocurrencies directly for stakes. All providers on the GGL whitelist must meet strict requirements, which are often linked to centralized systems like LUGAS. A German casino must ensure that the monthly deposit limit of 1,000 euros across all providers is maintained. This is currently difficult to reconcile with the anonymity or pseudonymity of many blockchain solutions.

Nevertheless, the technologies developed by TG3 for transaction visibility could eventually find their way into regulated markets. If a blockchain solution serves to improve player protection or undeniably prove the fairness of a slot, German authorities might show interest. Currently, however, it remains the case that German customers should only play at providers holding an official permit from the Joint Gambling Authority of the States (GGL). There, protection mechanisms such as the 1-euro stake limit per spin for slots and the mandatory panic button are in place.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

GGL-licensed casinos are closely monitoring such technological leaps. The implementation of blockchain elements could help automate reporting obligations to the authority in the future. If every transaction is verified on-chain, the administrative effort for complying with anti-money laundering guidelines decreases. For now, TG3's developments remain primarily a topic for the international market, as German regulation prescribes very specific IT interfaces that are not yet compatible with many decentralized solutions. However, the innovative power of firms like TG3 shows where the journey could lead: away from black-box systems toward provable fairness through code.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is the goal of the TG3 ecosystem?

TG3 aims to create an interconnected network of blockchain-based companies that share infrastructure for online gambling. The goal is higher transaction transparency and the verifiability of gaming activities directly on the chain.

Which companies are already part of the TG3 portfolio?

The current portfolio includes DeGaming, BetMode, Stable Mint, theMiracle, and Streaming systems. These companies cover areas such as casino infrastructure, payment processing, and behavioral analysis.

Which technical platform does TG3 use for its on-chain solutions?

The entire ecosystem is based on Etherlink, a specific blockchain infrastructure. According to TG3, this platform is already enabling real transactions and generating revenue.

How can new founders become part of this network?

TG3 is actively seeking founders and established companies that can complement the existing system. The management uses industry events like the SBC Summit in Lisbon for initial talks and acquisitions.

Are these blockchain casinos legal in Germany?

Currently, providers operating purely on a blockchain basis like the TG3 model usually do not hold a German GGL license. German players should stick to the whitelist to be protected by the GlüStV 2021 and adhere to limits like the 1,000-euro cap.
