WagerWire Establishes Fantasy and Media Verticals as Independent Brands Under Parent Company Wire Industries, Inc.

WagerWire

Wire Industries, Inc., a technology and media company that owns and operates sports betting marketplace WagerWire, announced today the formal establishment of FantasyWire and the Wire Media Group as independent verticals. This expansion allows the company to operate fantasy sports products and other types of gaming independently of sports betting, while accelerating growth of its media and affiliate segments. “This is a natural evolution of our business that we have been planning ever since we founded the company in 2021 as the corporate entity Wire Industries Inc.,” said Zach Doctor, Co-Founder and CEO. “Our sports betting marketplace WagerWire has demonstrated that players love the optionality provided by a liquid and open market for active bets, while delivering significant player engagement value and cost-effective user acquisition for our partner sportsbooks. Now, we’re introducing this same economic principle to fantasy sports and other types of gaming.” FantasyWire is now a separate consumer brand operating side-by-side with WagerWire under the Wire Technologies umbrella. FantasyWire is powering the first-ever DFS pick ‘em marketplace on RealTime Fantasy Sports (RTS), and with trading also available on the WagerWire app. On the RTS marketplace, players can post their line-ups for sale at any time or buy line-ups in progress using tools like suggested prices and deal scores. The technology behind FantasyWire was nominated for Best Fantasy Innovation of 2024 by the Fantasy Sports Gaming Association (FSGA). The Wire Media Group (WMG) encompasses the company’s media network, The Wire, and affiliate marketing division, The Sports Influencers. The group was launched in 2023 by creating original content that immediately catapulted WagerWire into the national spotlight, amassing hundreds of millions of views across social platforms and capturing the attention of ESPN, CNBC, USA Today, and the New York Post. In its first year of operation, WMG was shortlisted for a Hashtag Sports Award for Best Sports Betting Content and was shortlisted again in 2024 for Best X Presence, along with FOX Sports and the NBA. Under WMG, The Wire is a content collective of top-tier creators and networks as well as original in-house content, with partners including Betr Media, Pro League Network (PLN), The Hammer Betting Network, East Coast Sports Investors, and The Gaming Juice. Content spans sports, pop culture, fantasy, sports betting, sports business, and regulatory developments. “Media is an important piece of our ecosystem as it ties all our offerings together and drives a powerful flywheel effect,” said Travis Geiger, Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer. “Our marketplace generates a never-ending stream of interesting line-ups and bet slips that we leverage as a source of viral content, leading to organic consumer awareness and more incoming action, and finding the next big story.” Geiger continued, “Then with our creator partners, The Wire utilizes purpose-built A.I. production services to aggregate massive amounts of daily content to generate snackable clips, search-optimized articles, and data visualizations to amplify discoverability and cross-pollinate different audiences.” The company’s rapidly growing affiliate business, The Sports Influencers, also operates under the WMG division. Through a diversified strategy of social media services, events, and direct conversions, the company drives sign-ups to multiple affiliate partners, including FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM and PrizePicks. WMG was shortlisted for SBC North America’s Sports Betting Affiliate of the Year award in 2023 and 2024. Wire Technologies is also building additional gaming verticals including PonyWire, a marketplace for horse racing bets, ContestWire for entries in survivors, pools, and brackets, and DataWire, its in-house data department developing proprietary pricing models and betting tools, as well as insightful content and data visualizations. The full Wire Industries, Inc. organizational chart can be viewed HERE. Wire Industries Inc was established in 2021 and owns and operates Wire Technologies and Wire Media Group. Wire Technologies is the company’s marketplace division including WagerWire, FantasyWire, PonyWire and ContestWire, while Wire Media Group operates their always-on media network and affiliate marketing division.

Notcoin Continues To Freefall! Could 100x Breakout Presale Be The Answer For Bitcoin Whales?

Total Media

The continued fall of Notcoin has recently had the cryptocurrency market talking. It has recently seen its value plummet due to various factors, including market saturation and diminishing investor confidence. Amid this turmoil, Raboo offers a glimmer of hope with its 100x Breakout Presale, drawing the eyes of Bitcoin whales searching for lucrative new ventures. This presale isn't just a potential lifeline for distressed crypto investors; it's poised to catalyze significant shifts within the market. Read on as we discuss how Raboo's strategic move could redefine investment trajectories in the ever-evolving crypto landscape. Notcoin continues to freefall Notcoin has recently experienced significant market fluctuations, with a sharp decline of about 40% over the last month. This reflects the high volatility and speculative nature that often characterizes Play-to-Earn and meme-driven cryptocurrencies like Notcoin. These market dynamics highlight several issues impacting Notcoin's position in the cryptocurrency sector. The rapid changes in its value can erode investor confidence and make it challenging for long-term stability. If Notcoin fails to innovate or stabilize its market presence, it could face diminishing investor interest over time, which could have long-term detrimental effects on its valuation and utility. The broader impact on the market and investor trust revolves around this high volatility and the speculative nature of assets like Notcoin, which can lead to significant price fluctuations based on investor sentiment and market trends. Bitcoin's recent market performance Bitcoin's recent market downturn can be attributed to a few significant factors. With a 12.4% decline in the last month, one major contributor has been the large-scale selling by the German government, which has offloaded substantial Bitcoin holdings, triggering price volatility. A general slowdown in whale trading activity has also played a role. These whales have reduced their transactions drastically, indicating a cautious approach, which usually leads to decreased market liquidity and lowered prices. This downturn has led Bitcoin whales to explore other investment avenues, seeking higher returns with lower price volatility. New and promising projects like Raboo's 100x breakout presale are drawing attention as alternative investment opportunities. Bitcoin's fluctuations influence the broader crypto market, impacting investment strategies and the financial dynamics within the crypto space. Such shifts underscore the interconnected nature of the market, where significant moves by influential entities or changes in a leading cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can ripple across the entire ecosystem. Could 100x breakout presale be the answer for Bitcoin whales? Raboo's 100x breakout presale has captured the attention of major investors, including Bitcoin whales, thanks to its innovative use of AI technology and a robust community-driven approach. The presale highlights features such as AI-enhanced user interactions and a Post-to-Earn model, which incentivises user participation and content creation. Now in its fourth stage, priced at an attractive $0.0048, Raboo has experienced a 60% increase since its initial price offering of $0.003, with over $1.6 million raised, 10,000 registered users, and 2,900 token holders. This impressive growth showcases its appeal as a dynamic player in the evolving meme coin sector. The strategic maneuvers behind Raboo's presale include targeted marketing campaigns that leverage social media platforms and crypto forums to enhance visibility and attract a diverse investor base, distinguishing it from competitors like Notcoin, which has struggled amid market volatility and investor skepticism. Raboo's successful presale strategy contrasts Notcoin's challenges and positions it as a compelling investment opportunity for Bitcoin whales seeking high returns in the memecoin market. Conclusion As Notcoin navigates its market challenges, Raboo's 100x breakout presale emerges as a beacon for investors, especially Bitcoin whales seeking high-growth prospects. This shift could redefine investment strategies within the cryptocurrency sphere, illustrating the impact of innovative presales on broader market dynamics. Investors are advised to keep a close eye on Raboo's ongoing presale, which promises to influence the market's future trajectory and offer substantial returns. This pivotal moment could reshape how investments flow in the volatile crypto landscape. You can participate in the Raboo presale here.

Maintaining Changed Behaviour With Incentives: The Potential Of Web 3.0 In Mental Health Treatment Through Digital Token Rewards

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga Initiating change in one’s life often begins with acquiring the fortitude to reflect and realize that it is needed, followed by taking action to actualize it. However, enacting change and achieving progress is never linear, and for many, support is needed along the pathway to betterment. In the field of substance abuse treatment, contingency management has shown evidence of being an efficacious methodology for treating the problem behavior of individuals. The learnings from contingency management in behavioral treatment may have some applicability in supporting mental health. Elevate Health and Wellness, a clinic specializing in mental health and addiction treatment for adolescents and adults, is exploring this possibility by leveraging the capabilities of Web 3.0 in their treatment plans with patients. Contingency Management Explained Dr. Nancy M. Petry, Ph.D.’s extensive research on contingency management highlights its efficacious nature is rooted in the principles of basic behavioral analysis, more specifically, habit formation. Research on the success of contingency management as a treatment methodology has been proven in controlled trials and qualified by stakeholders in the field of psychology. In The Psychiatrist Journal of May 2011, Dr. Petry published an article entitled, Contingency Management: What it is and Why Psychiatrists Should Want to Use It, detailing the evidence-based research done on the behavioral treatment and the cross-sectional nature of its success, reducing usage in opioids, alcohol, marijuana and even cigarettes by patients. Transference Of Learning: Contingency Management And Mental Health The proven success of contingency management in substance use disorders may have some application in facilitating the treatment of some mental health issues within patients. Since the onset of the pandemic, 38% more Americans are participating in mental health care treatment of some kind, whether that be inpatient or outpatient services. But what mental health professionals have noticed is that youth mental health issues are increasing. In 2021, more than 4 in 10 high school students felt persistently sad or hopeless, with more than 1 in 5 students seriously considering attempting suicide. Today's youth are more interconnected through various technological devices and platforms; as such, reaching and engaging with them has to be done through a medium that is ever-present in their lives. Web 3.0 represents a newfound avenue for mental health treatment to occur in a way that resonates with today’s youth while also being effective. By using Web 3.0 as a conduit for contingency management, individuals can receive counseling, encouragement and incentives around specific mental health issues. In essence, using technology to treat individuals empathetically while also incentivizing them to continue treatment as they navigate their mental health journey. Leveraging Technology For Mental Health Implementing blockchain technology to increase mental health services for those who need it instantly at both outpatient and inpatient levels is part of Elevate Health and Wellness' vision as a dual-licensed outpatient clinic specializing in mental health and addiction treatment for adolescents and adults. Tentatively launching in 2024, the company says its token will be used to increase awareness, build a stronger supportive community and connect individuals with mental health disorders and addiction with therapists and psychiatrists instantly. Blockchain-based software will also allow for the creation of smart insurance contracts (i.e., contracts that are self-executing, in which the terms of the agreement are directly written into lines of code) for mental health and wellness to provide an alternative to conventional insurance. Digital token rewards are already being leveraged by brands through Web 3.0 loyalty programs, and they have the potential to be powerful tools for promoting sustainable behaviors. With contingent management strategies suggesting that desirable behaviors should be reinforced quickly, digital tokens can help implement these strategies effectively through rewards that can be awarded quickly, tracked accurately and redeemed easily. As such, embedding contingency management treatment attributes within Elevate’s token could help improve outcomes. Given the greater ownership individuals will have of their information in a Web 3.0 world, therapists and psychiatrists can design treatment plans to specifically reward their patients throughout their treatment plan. The Web 3.0 Future Of Mental Health With Contingent Management Web 3.0 holds the potential to transform healthcare by creating a more patient-centric and personalized treatment plan for individuals. With behavioral treatments like contingency management available to individuals, the ability to form and embed positive habits can help improve patient outcomes. Elevate Health and Wellness is fully prepared to take advantage of this technological advancement for the betterment of its patients and those who need its services the most.
