Miami Dolphins joined The Lightcoin Foundation and announced on 11th July that it is about to accept bitcoin and Litecoin for payments beginning in 2019 and 2020 NFL season. Florida based payment processing and independent merchant services provider, Aliant Payment, will be powering the cryptocurrency payment solution. The partnership of Miami Dolphin, Litecoin and Aliant Payment would give home game attendees an opportunity to pay with Litecoin and Bitcoin when they will buy tickets for the team’s 50/50 raffle. The tickets can be purchased online at 14 kiosk and raffle seller locations in Hard Rock Stadium.

Kim Rometo, Miami Dolphins Vice President & Chief Information Officer, said, “The Miami Dolphins are always looking for ways to enhance the fan experience, and this partnership with Litecoin provides the ability for guests to enjoy our 50/50 raffle while donating to a great cause.”

In 2014 when Sacramento Kings, professional sports franchise, started accepting Bitcoin, everybody started talking about how cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum might revolutionize sports. And the cryptocurrency signals became the screener to find the best trading opportunities. In the same year, Georgia Tech began accepting Bitcoin. Marshawn Lynch, former Seattle Seahawks invested in a blockchain company in 2015. Despite the early investment of cryptocurrency in sports, present involvement is limited. But many outdoor sports are showing gesture to invest in cryptocurrencies.

Charlie Lee, the Managing Director of Litecoin Foundation, said, “This collaboration propels Litecoin in front of an audience of millions of people around the world at a time where adoption of cryptocurrencies continues to gain momentum and the ecosystem is able to support real-world use cases in ways previously not possible. We see this as a powerful way to raise awareness and educate people about Litecoin and cryptocurrencies on a tremendous scale.”

When the stakes are highest, innovation shines brightest. As the NHL Playoffs brought an electric energy to the ice, entrepreneur Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros and his tech company Zooly AI delivered a first-of-its-kind fan experience for the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of real-time AI engagement in professional sports.

Leveraging Zooly’s flagship product, Photobomb, fans inside Amalie Arena during playoff games were given an entirely new way to connect with their team. With a simple QR code scan, spectators instantly received dynamic, personalized photos featuring the Lightning mascot ThunderBug, seamlessly inserted into their memories-no app download required, just pure surprise and delight.

In a setting where emotions run high and every moment matters, the Photobomb activation proved that artificial intelligence can enhance the magic of live events rather than distract from it. Fans flooded social media with their custom playoff memories, helping amplify the Lightning’s home-ice advantage beyond the rink and into the digital world.

“The playoffs are where legends are made,” said Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros, founder of Zooly AI. “It was important for us to show that AI can make these moments even more personal, not mechanical. We wanted fans to feel like they weren’t just spectators-they were part of the story.”

The activation drew massive engagement, with QR code scans and social shares surpassing expectations-proving that fans are eager for real-time, culturally connected experiences when the stakes are at their highest. For the Lightning, it deepened fan loyalty. For Zooly, it validated a vision: building the connective tissue between live emotion and intelligent digital interaction.
