Breaking Vegas Rakes: Welcome to the Mr. Gambler Club
After further consideration, the Mr. Gambler team decrees that we will stop paying any juice, rake, or bullshit gambling tax for the rest of our lives (maybe). Instead, we will be releasing our JENESIS (de)generative mint starting (Pre-Sale) on September 8th, 2:00 pm EST (6:00 pm UST) to combat the madness!

Origin Story: A Letter From the Founder
Building the largest, most competitive community of degenerate gamblers in the metaverse.
This idea all began before Web3 was a thing. Maybe even before Bitcoin’s origin. And it all started with two of the biggest POS of degens on the planet: my younger brother (known as) Wolfgang and his best friend (who we will refer to as) Pablo.
In 2007, the two boys met on a South Florida playground. One was destined to become an Oncologist. The other, a professional golfer. In the end, they became two degenerate gamblers.
After a night of drinking the purple sludge known as Jagermeister, they convinced me to give them a grand to bet on sports. A month later, they tripled it. I was ecstatic. The kids couldn’t miss if they tried. And then they put it all on RED at the Hard Rock Casino.
Those two clowns don’t control the bankroll anymore. I do. Anyway…
I knew we had something but giving out heavy-hitting sports picks isn’t enough for a business or even an NFT project. We needed more. So, that’s exactly what we created.
Mr. Gambler is about bringing together people who love to gamble on sports, cards, and video games into one singular community. A peer-to-peer environment where you can root against your friends with crypto. And to do so without the one thing all gamblers despise: The Rake.
Friends betting with friends. Competing mano a mano. No waddling Vegas gangster taking their skim just because they let you in the building to play. Or insincere wagers with faceless betting apps. Instead, a one-time purchase of an NFT provides immediate acceptance into an exclusive Web3 establishment called the Mr. Gambler Club.
As a Mr. Gambler holder from our JENESIS release, you’ll gain full access to our members-only Discord filled with our daily sports picks, live betting, horse racing plays, news, and analysis. We’ll also be regularly hosting cash-prize poker games, pick’ems, and Winners Win tournaments — both online and in real life –and eventually fantasy leagues, Peer-to-Peer gambling… If it deals with sports or games, combined with excitement, thrill, and gambling, we’re doing it.
And that’s the tip of the iceberg as our team continues product development and release of more value drivers and utility over the next year.
Jenisis Collection
1,000 fine-as-wine looking Mr. Gamblers providing four different member statuses (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum). The mint will be random. Holding all four statuses provides a direct line to our Degen team for sports betting consultations and shooting the bull during office hours.
Pre-Sale Date and Details
On September 8th, 2:00 pm EST (6:00 pm UST) we will open the pre-sale to Allowlist holders. In order to get on the Allowlist, you will either need to win one of our pre-mint poker games, pick’em challenges, giveaways, and raffles.
The Pre-Sale will last 48 hours, so there should be no gas war.
After the Pre-Sale is completed, we will have the ‘Public Sale’ or Mint. The Mint will open up and anyone can mint a Mr. Gambler NFT at this time.
Pre-Mint Vetting
We will be instituting Pre-Mint for our registration and Allowlist. Signing up through there makes you eligible to win a spot for any remaining Allowlist spots.
Pre-Sale
Registration: Before August 20th
Closes: September 4th
UPDATE: The Pre-Sale has now ended. AL spots were determined based on valid-entry raffles to our Pre-Mint, Discord/Twitter Giveaways, Collaborative and Individual Partnerships.
When: September 8th, 2022, 2:00 pm EST (6:00 pm UST) during a 48-hour pre-sale window.
Mint Date
Minting will be September 9th, 2022, 2:00 pm EST (6:00 pm UST) after Pre-Sale is cleared.
Pricing
Pre-Mint: .06 ETH
Mint: .08 ETH
Secondary: 7.5%
Innovation Fund: All secondary sales will go directly into the Innovation Fund. The fund will be used for product development, cash prizes, operations, legal, and the team.
Reveal Type
The reveal will happen before the start of the NFL season on September 8th.
Treasury
Approximately 75 NFTs will be reserved for the team, partnerships, mods, and pretty much anyone and everyone who helped us make this possible. The Treasury will also support giveaways, raffles, and competition prizes. Any remaining Mr. Gamblers will also be moved into the treasury and be used for these reasons or re-sold on OpenSea.
Minting Timeline
1. Pre-sale for people on WL for 48 hours
2. After Pre-Sale, public Mint opens — timeline indefinite
Degen Team
Zachary — CREATIVE LEAD / CEO
New England-based copywriter with a knack for creating chaos and pissing off his wife because he can’t stop betting the NY Giants moneyline (take the spread you idiot).
Wolfgang — Chief Wager Maker
Florida-man aspirations with a love for sports betting, horse wagering, fish catching, and profit making. His mother is not impressed.
Lil Joey — Artist
Captain of the Bud Light chug. Lover of Buffalo Wild Wings. A passionate Southern boy with a sensitive soul when it comes to his golf game and art style.
Pablo Cash Huncho — Senior Risk Taker
When he ain’t slinging darts, he’s smoking them. Also, bets way too often on the overrated Brewers.
Alex — Product Development and Operations
The team’s Web-3 Guru who runs our strategic and product vision for our project. He’s the partnership guide and the man who brings it all together.
Rick Procter — Company Man#1
If your NFT project doesn’t have a company man, are you even an NFT? Sad. He makes sure we’re keeping to legal + ethical standards and acts as our representative in creating value-preferred partnerships.
Hoffy — Discord Mod
If there are problems with the Discord, you can find Josh at Bookies Bar and Grill in Modesto to complain. He’s definitely 6’4, 225, and currently holds a black belt in Krav Maga, so good luck!
Where We’re Going, We Don’t Need Roads…
As I write this merely weeks from launch, I’m befuddled with how we got here. Hard work? Determination? Fortitude? Blindness?
Stupidity?
Who the frack knows. All I know is that we want to create something special. Something we all can call our own. Something that’s cool as fuh.
This NFT is here to create value, not just for tomorrow or next week or next month, but years from now. Call it a brand or a company or art project, we really do not have any sort of definition. We just are.
For the past 8 months, we’ve been providing daily free sports picks, live betting strategies, freeroll cash-prize poker games (2x a week), Pick’Em Challenges (even though baseball is a horrid sport to bet on), analysis from Mr. Gambler himself (hey, that’s me!), and horseracing plays.
Speaking of horseracing, we’re giving away ownership in an actual racing horse (NY or FL-based) as well as tickets to watch the NY Giants (most likely lose) with the Founders.
Why a horse race, you may ask, at which I say to you, “Why not?”
We plan to continue and expand upon this foundation to foster the most competitive betting community around.
Outlasting the typical mold and truly becoming special defines our goals. We can’t promise you’ll win when it comes to gambling. But we can promise a good time.
(We’re also pretty damn good a gambling, so not a promise but you get our drift.)
Welcome to the Mr. Gambler Club! Degens-only.
