A dark horse project has emerged in the blockchain entertainment field. Bluff, a Web3 platform focused on financial games, has achieved remarkable results—$6 billion in total bets and over 500,000 active users, making it a rare sight in the on-chain entertainment sector.

What’s even more noteworthy is the background of this team. The core members come from traditional gambling and sports betting giants such as Stake, bet365, FanDuel, and William Hill, bringing years of professional experience into the Web3 ecosystem.

Official news states that the platform will officially launch in January, which could bring new possibilities to the industry. From traditional sectors to on-chain applications, whether Bluff can maintain this momentum is something worth watching continuously.

Traditional gambling giants are entering the scene. Can they come up with new tricks this time? --- A betting volume of 6 billion USD sounds impressive, but the key is to see how they play it out later --- bet365 and those guys are here. On-chain gambling is getting more and more competitive --- Launched in January, another promising promise. Let’s see how it goes --- 500,000 active users? We need to verify if this data is real --- From traditional to on-chain, there are many projects with lots of money. How many can survive? --- The team’s background is indeed solid, but Web3 stories have been told too many times --- Another one aiming to change the industry, but still ends up cutting the leeks? --- This track is very competitive. Newcomers might not be able to reap the benefits --- Interesting, but I’m not optimistic about the long-term viability of this kind of gambling

6 billion USD betting volume? This data definitely warrants a question mark, is it real or not? Can traditional gambling giants win by entering Web3? Not necessarily. They started hyping right after launch in January, let's see how long they can last. The team has a solid background, but the on-chain ecosystem isn't that simple. This track is already crowded; where's the differentiation? 500,000 users sounds like a lot, but what about retention? Not much to say, just waiting to see the crash scene. Transferring traditional experience to the blockchain often doesn't work well. Another gambling project, have they considered regulatory risks? Compared to the team’s background, I care more about how the tokenomics is designed.

$6 billion betting volume sounds impressive, but can this number really stand up to scrutiny? Traditional gambling giants entering Web3, I just want to see what tricks they can pull off. Launching in January? Same old story, let's wait until it's truly live. From bet365 to Bluff, it still feels like the same old pattern. Where's the innovation? Half a million active users, is that a lot or a little? The real skill is in retaining them. This industry is too competitive. Having a background means you can win? Not necessarily.

$6 billion in betting volume is a bit outrageous, is it really just hype? Traditional gambling teams entering Web3—I've seen this trick too many times. Can they really come up with some new ideas? Launching in January? More of this kind of expectation management. If nothing goes wrong, it's a blessing. The team has a solid background, but do those at bet365 really understand blockchain? If we can survive until next summer, that will be considered a win.

Really, a 6 billion betting volume sounds impressive, but how is this data calculated? The team has a solid background, but I'm worried that the traditional approach might not adapt well when moved onto the blockchain. Launching in January? I bet five dollars it will be delayed.

Traditional gambling giants are entering the scene, but this time it's a bit different. Wait, 500,000 active users and 6 billion in betting volume—are these numbers real? Could this time really break the fate of chain games? But it launches in January... and we have to wait again. The industry’s newcomers are about to be harvested again.

Traditional big company background + on-chain gameplay, this combination really has some substance. Let's see if it can stay steady in January.

Honestly, a betting volume of 6 billion is a bit intimidating. The true activity level will only be known after the launch. Traditional gambling giants entering the scene—I've seen this routine before. Whether it can be converted into Web3 dividends remains to be seen. Launching in January, and again in January—delays have become the norm in this industry, and I'm numb to it. The team has a solid background, but is copying the bet365 approach onto the blockchain really effective? Centralized thinking is prone to failure. It feels like I'm about to get cut again, but I still need to pay attention. Maybe this time will be different. When will these projects stop hyping data and start speaking for themselves?

nah, those traditional gambling guys always bring the same playbook to crypto... bet365 energy never really dies, does it? 60B volume sounds juicy until you realize most of it's probably degens rotating the same capital around lmao
