Populat Hamster coin, Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), could be banned in Russia as regulators take aim at Hamster crypto tap-2-earn. Meanwhile, retail investors are pouring in on the PlayDoge presale to hedge bets as it explodes towards a $5M raise.
Just like crypto is changing money, blockchain is fast disrupting gaming. Gaming is a multi-billion, if not trillion, industry that knows no boundaries.
There are gamers worldwide, even in the most restrictive states.
According to projections, the blockchain gaming scene alone could command a valuation of over $614 billion by 2030. At this pace, it will grow over 20%, from roughly $128 billion recorded in 2022.
Hamster Kombat Goes Viral, But Will It Be Banned In Russia?
Therefore, it is unsurprising that Hamster Kombat, a viral tap-to-earn Hamster coin game, now has over 150 million players. It has grown so popular, especially in Eastern Europe, that several countries, including Russia and Ukraine, are beginning to scrutinize the game.
There are even unconfirmed reports that Russia could ban the viral yet innocuous Hamster crypto game.

Interestingly, as Hamster Kombat comes under the microscope, some players turn their attention to another viral game, PlayDoge. The game merges gaming with meme coins and has grown exponentially in the past few weeks.
As Russia Move to Ban Tap-2-Earn Question Is Now: Is it time for Play-2-Earn PlayDoge to shine?
But before this, let’s look at why Hamster Kombat is exploding.
The Hamster Coin game’s premise is super simplistic: It is a clicker game. All users have to do is tap a hamster to earn in-game currency. These tokens promise future real-world value.
That gamers only have to click to make money is why the game is fast rising, finding massive player base in Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan; regions that rely heavily on Telegram for communication.
Even as millions of users rush to click hamsters, government watchdogs are concerned.
In Russia, authorities claim that the game introduces financial risks and could potentially harm children behind a friendly Hamster crypto mask.
In crypto-unfriendly Uzbekistan, authorities threaten players attempting to convert in-game earnings into real money with detention and fines.
Whereas Uzbekistan is worried about conversion, in Ukraine, the government wants to ban the game, alleging ties with Russia. Their worry is more about citizens’ data being accessed by Russian security forces.
Could Hamster Kombat’s scrutiny be a problem of their own making? Some claim it is.
The Hamster crypto game’s creators are not publicly known, and even with its large social media following, there is no transparency regarding its corporate structure or team.
Investigators also claim that Telegram has solid links with Russia, using the game’s popularity to increase its reach.
PlayDoge Shining Bright, PLAY Presale Raises Nearly $5 Million
As Hamster Kombat faces possible bans, PlayDoge is rapidly gaining traction.
Part of its success is because there are no political affiliations, and the game is pure as it is.
Their objective is simple: Benefit players by combining the popularity of meme culture with a successful and proven play-to-earn model.
Playing the game is also straightforward: All a gamer has to do is raise a virtual pet, Doge, reminiscent of the 90s Tamagotchi craze.
If they succeed, they earn PLAY.
This token can be staked for even higher rewards. So far, over 147 million PLAY have been staked, generating a 147% APY.
Because of this interest, PlayDoge has raised over $4.8 million in the ongoing viral presale. Each PLAY is changing hands for $0.0051.
Supporters are also upbeat; once PLAY lists on top exchanges like Binance, it will skyrocket, handsomely rewarding early adopters.
So donβt miss out on this early opportunity.
