The DAO later rebranded to Real World Gaming as it expanded its scope toward wagering and real-world-data-driven gaming experiences.
Real World Gaming raised US$3 million in a January 2022 token sale led by Animoca Brands, which valued the DAO at US$30 million. A second private token-sale round followed in December 2022, raising a further US$2 million at a US$60 million valuation. Additional backers include Finder Group through Hive Empire Capital, Larry Diamond, Digital Asset Capital Management, Fantom, ZED RUN, Darling Ventures, Pluto Digital, Side Door Ventures, Algorand, Rising Capital, Saltwater Ventures, eFrontier, and TPS Capital.
Real World Gaming collaborated with Conor McGregor on the $REAL token through a sealed-bid auction in April 2025. The presale collected $392,315 but did not reach its minimum threshold, and all bids were refunded. Real World Gaming is also affiliated with Realbet and Fenix Studios Australia, and was previously associated with Misfits Gaming.
