UFC Fighter Conor McGregor Launches His Own Online Casino

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has announced the launch of his online casino, REALBET.IO, calling himself both its owner and ambassador. He shared the news on his social media channels, saying he had “always wanted to own a casino,” and introduced welcome offers for new players.

The site lists Wales Genio Three R S.R.L., a company registered in Costa Rica, as its operator. According to the Realbet.io website, the casino operates under a license issued by the Tobique Gaming Commission, a regulatory body of the Tobique First Nation in Canada, with license number 000002Z.

Payment services are handled by the Cyprus-based Forestflur Limited, and the project accepts cryptocurrency, targeting an international audience.

However, publicly available gambling registries show no confirmation that a Tobique Gaming Commission license is recognized by Canadian provinces or by major international regulators. Additionally, the casino lacks independent certifications that typically accompany licensed operators.

McGregor’s Previous Foray into the Online Gambling World

McGregor has already shown interest in the gambling industry before launching his own casino. In 2024, the Irish fighter became an ambassador for the crypto-based online casino Duelbits, where he took part in promotional tournaments and even tried himself as a casino streamer. As part of the partnership, Duelbits introduced the Race Against the Notorious Duel competition, inviting users to climb the leaderboard for monthly prizes. McGregor participated in the first live-streamed event on May 20, interacting with fans and playing various games on air. Duelbits, licensed in Curaçao and operating since 2020, also featured football star Luis Suárez as an ambassador at the time.

This earlier collaboration underscored McGregor’s growing involvement in online gambling and foreshadowed his move toward launching a casino of his own.
