VitalBet was the original website where GIFcoin began its token sale and has now been relaunched under the new name Buff88.
Less than two weeks ago, GIFcoin reached its soft cap of 5,000 ETH. The project has already become a success and has surprised its investors with another timely update.
GIFcoin, the world’s first Gambling Investment Fund, has just announced that it has completed a major roadmap milestone: the release of an updated platform software version. The roadmap also promises a fresh, clever design and a top-tier user experience.
Meet Buff88 and Its Smart Design
Online betting is a multibillion-dollar industry that continues to expand rapidly. A major driver of that growth is the eSports betting sector—especially in Asia, where fans are fervently engaged with their favorite games and players.
Renaming VitalBet to Buff88 is a logical and strategic move. The number of eSports players—both amateur and professional—is expected to rise significantly in the coming years, and that expansion will drive increased revenue for bookmakers.
The new site, Buff88, offers a clean and well-thought-out interface. Both experienced bettors and newcomers will appreciate the eSports section, which features a user-friendly layout and competitive betting options.
What’s Behind the Name?

The name Buff88 brings together three symbolic elements:
The Monkey King – the Emperor of eSports
The Monkey King, also known as Sun Wukong, is a divine figure found in countless legends and stories across Asia. Today, this character appears in many video games, including DOTA 2 and League of Legends.
The Monkey King is agile, powerful, resolute, and always ready to test his luck—using skill and strategy to face even the most formidable opponents. These traits embody competitive spirit and ambition, which is why GIFcoin chose him as Buff88’s mascot—the Emperor of eSports.
The Lucky 88
In China and other Chinese-speaking regions, the number 8 is widely regarded as a lucky number. Its pronunciation, “bā,” closely resembles “fā” as in “fācái,” which means “to get rich.” The number 88 visually resembles the Chinese character 囍, symbolizing “double happiness” and family fortune. The repetition of 8 implies multiplied fortune—a positive association that fits an entertainment and betting brand.
Buff
In gaming, a “buff” refers to a positive effect that enhances a skill or ability. Buff88’s coverage of 25+ eSports and specialized betting options aims to be a real-world betting “buff” for users—enhancing their experience and opportunities on the platform.
How GIFcoin and Buff88 Are Shaping Crypto Betting
Although the GIFcoin ICO is still ongoing, the project has already achieved another roadmap milestone: expanding deposit options on Buff88 to include many more cryptocurrencies. Users can now deposit with 50 additional altcoins alongside major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and LTC.
GIFcoin opens exciting opportunities not only for industry insiders but also for savvy investors who recognize the online betting market’s potential. New investors have the chance to benefit from a share of the industry’s growing revenues. GIFcoin will share 80% of Buff88’s net profits with token holders, proportionate to their GIF token holdings.
