About FunFair Technologies

FunFair Technologies is a blockchain technology group whose current activities focus on early-stage Web3 investment and technical advisory through its FunFair Ventures division. Originally developed around Ethereum-based casino infrastructure, the business has shifted from building gambling platforms and producing games toward supporting companies working in decentralized finance, blockchain infrastructure and gaming.

Its venture activities include pre-seed, seed and strategic funding through equity and tokens. Alongside capital, the group offers guidance on token economics, scaling, layer-2 deployment, regulatory navigation and commercial development. This operating model draws on experience developing blockchain software and bringing token-based products to market.

Blockchain infrastructure and game development

FunFair's earlier work addressed transaction costs, latency and trust in online gambling. Its technology combined Ethereum smart contracts, the ERC-20 FUN Token, off-chain transaction processing and non-custodial settlement. Products included casino infrastructure, wallet technology and software intended to support provably fair gaming. Historical commercial offerings included turnkey casino licensing and white-label platforms.

In late 2020, the company established FunFair Games as an internal development studio focused on multiplayer crash and arcade-style gambling titles. The division developed social gambling experiences and worked with external development and distribution partners to bring its games to operators. This expanded the group's activities beyond underlying casino technology into the production and integration of individual games.

Transition to venture investment

FunFair Technologies stopped funding in-house game production and closed the FunFair Games division in March 2023. RAW iGaming acquired its multiplayer arcade and crash game catalogue in July 2023. That transaction concerned the games portfolio; the wider FunFair group continued operating.

The business subsequently redirected its main website to FunFair Ventures, reflecting its current emphasis on investment, ecosystem support and blockchain advisory. Its history therefore spans both technology development and game production, while its present business centres on helping early-stage Web3 companies secure funding and develop their technical and commercial operations.

More about FunFair Technologies

Founders and governance

  • FunFair was co-founded by Jez San OBE, Jeremy Longley and Oliver Hopton. San's earlier work included Argonaut Software and the Super FX chip.
  • The report lists Lloyd Janson Purser and Michael Rory O'Connor as active directors of FUNFAIR TECHNOLOGIES LTD. Jeremy Elliott San resigned as a director on March 25, 2024; his historical founder status does not establish a current executive role.

Technology and milestones

  • The proprietary Fate Channels system adapted Ethereum state channels so casino transactions could run off-chain in real time, with provable fairness and non-custodial smart contract settlement.
  • The FUN Token presale in June–July 2017 raised $26 million in four hours.
  • In September 2019, FunFair obtained the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission's first Token-Based Software Supplier Licence. This was a regulatory milestone rather than an industry award.

Operating history

  • The former games division was led by COO Lloyd Purser and later CEO Mark McGinley.
  • FunFair's development and distribution arrangements included EveryMatrix's RGS Matrix and collaboration with 5th Planet Games, combining internal production with external development and operator distribution.
