Bitcoin Sportsbook Sportsbet.io to Sponsor eSports Team HellRaisers

Bitcoin sportsbetting providers Sportsbet.io have recently announced that they’ve become the proud sponsor of the HellRaisers – a European eSports team that regularly competes in CS:GO (Counter  Strike: Global Offensive) tournaments. Per the freshly penned agreement, Sportsbet.io will be sponsoring the team during the next 12 months during which custom promotions will be featured on the Sportsbet.io platform like bet boost or competitions.

A Mutually Beneficial Partnership

Head of eSports at Coingaming (Sportsbet’s parent company), Dias Ismailov, welcomed the new sponsorship agreement with the HellRaisers in an interview with gaming news portal TotallyGaming.com, by saying it will allow the Bitcoin bookmaker to add support to the eSports sector.

According to Ismailov, Sportsbet.io and HellRaisers share a mutual objective – growing the profile of the eSports industry on a global scale. He believes that by investing in the eSports sector Sportsbet will be able to help the industry achieve mainstream success, and hopes that this sponsorship would open the door to sponsoring other teams, competitions, and supporting fans of eSports.

HellRaisers are currently one of the top global eSports teams, and they are composed of players from Slovakia, Hungary, and Ukraine.  The team is ranked as 11th in Europe and 22nd in the world in CS:GO at the eSports media outlet GosuGamers, with recent months being highlighted as the period of their peak performance.  Sponsoring the team, apart from helping Sportsbet.io get more exposure in the global eSports community, is also expected to draw in players from countries the team members come from.

According to Aleksey Kucherov, “CEO” of HellRaisers, choosing Sportsbet.io was a conscious decision from the team’s side. The team head says that their sponsor would have had to share the HellRaisers’ vision of helping the eSports industry grow to be chosen, which the bookmaker apparently did.  He also added that by supporting their new sponsors, bettors would also be supporting the team and the industry as well.

Moves in the Right Direction
