155 Media Studios

What 155 Media Studios does

155 Media Studios (operating as 155.io) is a UAE-based live content studio founded in 2024 that builds real-world betting games for the iGaming industry. The company operates 11 distinct games streamed 24/7 from a purpose-built studio, organised across three genres: marble racing (Marble Plinko, Rolling Dunes, Snake, Survivor), CCTV-based prediction games (Rush Hour, Duck River, Snow Run), and mechanical games (Fish Tank, Coin Flip, Stairpong, Fast Lane). The CCTV category is proprietary and uses AI-powered computer vision to count real-world objects (vehicles, ducks, skiers) from live city cameras as the basis for betting outcomes, positioning 155.io as the first-mover in this format. The company is founder-led by CEO Sam Jones and operates a sub-brand called CCTV.Game.

The platform is API-first, with production endpoints hosted at api.marbles.xyz. Operators implement wallet callbacks (/balance, /bet, /win, /rollback) secured by RSA-SHA256 signatures, and games can also be embedded via iframe with postMessage API for bi-directional communication. Live video is delivered via Dolby Millicast at sub-second latency using adaptive bitrate (1080p/720p/430p). Engagement mechanics include Lightning Rounds (boosted multipliers), Streak Multipliers, XP-based Player Leveling with permanent boosts up to +1%, Daily Check-ins, and a Free Bets API. The platform supports 15+ languages and multiple fiat and crypto currencies.

155.io serves licensed iGaming operators and aggregators through a B2B2C model. Operators integrate either directly via REST API (enterprise) or through Hub88, the exclusive aggregation partner for Rush Hour. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on player bets; operators bear bet liability while 155.io supplies the content infrastructure and engagement layer. Named partners span crypto-native operators (Stake, Roobet, Shuffle, Cloudbet, Betpanda, Gamdom) and traditional operators (Sportsbet, Betsson, Dafabet, Empire). Distribution extends to Africa through an exclusive Betika partnership covering Uganda and Kenya, with stated plans for broader continental expansion. The company is privately held and has raised two undisclosed rounds from industry veterans in 2025.

Revenue model

1. B2B Game Licensing & Integration: 155.io provides live betting game content to iGaming operators and aggregators. Operators integrate via direct API or through Hub88 aggregator, gaining access to the full game portfolio. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on player bets placed on the platform, with operators bearing liability for bets while 155.io provides the content infrastructure.
2. Aggregation Fees: Hub88 serves as exclusive aggregation partner for certain products (e.g., Rush Hour CCTV game), distributing 155.io content to Hub88's network of operator customers. This provides scalable distribution without direct operator-by-operator sales effort.
