BOTS, Inc. Announces Strategic Investment In Metaverse-Ready XR Casino

BOTS, Inc. (OTC: BTZI), (“BOTS” or “The Company”), a global technology conglomerate specialized in Blockchain-based solutions including decentralized finance applications, cybersecurity, crypto generation, mining equipment repair, extended warranty contracts, and its upcoming proprietary Metaverse based on the terrestrial Las Vegas, VEGAS.MV, announced today strategic investment in XR Casino, Inc.
XR Casino is the first technology company specialized in Extended Reality (XR) cross-technology casino gaming, XR game development solutions, and NFTs for the iGaming and sports betting industries. Its patent-pending platform is currently in development and plans to leverage AI, Blockchain, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Virtual Reality technologies to provide unparalleled gaming experiences and value-added services.
XR Casino completed the MVP versions of its initial games, Blackjack, Roulette, and Slot Machine in AR, MR, and VR, during 2021 and is on track to launch its social casino games and NFT store in Q2, 2022.
BTZI is the first strategic corporate investor in XR Casino and will be leveraging its technology to launch AR, MR, and VR casinos and casino games-as-a-service (GaaS) on its upcoming Metaverse based on the terrestrial Las Vegas.
“XR Casino’s proprietary technology and games deliver the immersive casino gaming experiences of the Metaverse to anyone with an AR-enabled smartphone, AR/MR glasses or VR headset,” commented Simon Rubin, chief executive officer of BOTS, Inc. “We believe AR will lead the way in connecting people to the Metaverse and through our strategic investment in XR Casino we will be able to bring together players using AR, MR, and VR in our upcoming Vegas.mv Metaverse, regardless of the technology or equipment they are using.”
“We are excited to have BOTS, Inc. as our first strategic corporate investor and look forward to launching our games on their Las Vegas-themed Metaverse,” commented Dan Martinez, Founder and CEO of XR Casino, Inc.
Virtual reality (VR) technology comes as a new phenomenon. It’s leading the way that most people will play games in the future. A report issued in April 2021 from Brandessence Market Research claimed the global VR gaming market would be worth almost $52.7 billion by 2025.
Recent research by Mordor Intelligence titled: EXTENDED REALITY (XR) MARKET – GROWTH, TRENDS, COVID-19 IMPACT, AND FORECASTS (2021 – 2026) indicated that The Extended Reality (XR) Market is registering a healthy CAGR of over 62.67% during the forecast period (2021 – 2026). The extended reality (XR) market is being impacted by COVID-19, primarily due to multiple factors that include physical lockdowns, essential e-commerce delivery limitations, brick-and-mortar retail closures, and supply chain disruptions (supplier, manufacturer, distribution, wholesale, retail), and economic impacts. Further, a player such as Avnet Inc. has implemented operating cost-saving restructuring plans, including plans to reduce operating costs by USD 75 million annually by the second quarter of FY 2021. Avnet expects to use cash for restructuring, integration, and other expenses. Such initiatives are made to tackle the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Extended reality (XR) is currently an emerging umbrella term that encompasses immersive technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and other future realities such technologies might bring. The increasing demand for reducing the distance between people and richer visual content is driving market demand. According to a recent survey by Accenture, 80% of the business executives believed that it is essential to leverage XR solutions to bridge physical distance during employee engagement.
Companies are also developing supporting technologies for XR platforms, which are forecast to global commercialize XR technologies. In January 2019, Northern Digital Inc., a global manufacturer of 3D measurement and motion tracking solutions, launched its new electromagnetic sensor-fusion tracking technology for the XR platform: Atraxa.
Identifying a great potential in the XR domain, several companies have established their XR product lines globally. For instance, Qualcomm has developed First Responder XR Glass that uses inertial, haptic, environmental, and health sensors, eye-tracking cameras, bone conduction transducers, and other components aimed for more intelligent and faster interaction with the environment.
Microsoft developed HoloLens 2, a hands-free mixed reality headset that is a guiding force for XR’s existence. It enables 3D visual training, hands-free video calling, and generates a virtual floor or room plan map.

Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming Launches BetAlert

The Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR), an entity that brings together the main operators in Brazil and worldwide, announces the launch of BetAlert, an unprecedented tool that allows any user to quickly and easily verify whether the betting site they intend to use is regulated by the Federal Government. The initiative is part of the “No More Elephant in the Room” campaign, which includes a TV commercial, radio spots, airport panels, and social media actions. Its goal is to guide bettors in choosing platforms regulated by the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting, under the Ministry of Finance.
Conducted between April and May 2025 with 2000 adult bettors, research by the Locomotiva Institute served as the basis for the economic study prepared by LCA. The survey estimates that between 41% and 51% of the Brazilian betting market still operates illegally. The activity of these irregular platforms reflects an alarming fiscal impact: between R$ 1.8 billion and R$ 2.7 billion went uncollected in just three months – which could reach R$ 10.8 billion in one year.
Named BetAlert (https://betalert.com.br/), the technology runs on an exclusive microsite that offers an interactive experience for those looking to bet safely and obtain tips on how to differentiate regulated betting sites from illegal ones. Simply enter the URL of any betting site, and the tool immediately indicates whether the platform is licensed. If it is regulated, the following message appears: “All good. This betting site is authorized by the Federal Government.” If not, the system displays a creative alert integrated into the campaign by agency We: “Attention. This betting site is not authorized by the Federal Government,” reinforcing the illegality of the platform consulted.
“IBJR greatly values the use of tools and technologies that contribute to spreading knowledge about the sector. BetAlert is extremely important, and we hope it will be widely used by bettors and Brazilian society. Our goal is to ensure that people have access to all the benefits of regulation, the core of which is the safety of those who bet,” said Fernando Vieira, Executive President of IBJR.
