Online casino to sponsor eSports team

News on 7 Jul 2018

Online casino Rizk Casino, a subsidiary of Gaming Innovation Group (GiG), has announced its latest sponsorship deal with the globally operating Finnish ENCE eSports team.

ENCE professional players compete in online gaming tournaments worldwide which include games such as Starcraft 2, Hearthstone, Rainbow Six: Siege, Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

The team has extensive experience in eSports, making this sponsorship agreement a complimentary element to Rizk’s recently launched sportsbook where eSports betting is available.

The Rizk logo will appear on ENCE’s website and merchandise. Since online gambling is illegal for under 18s in many countries where fans are based, the online casino’s management jointly decided that it was appropriate not to include the Rizk logo on any merchandise worn by team member Sergej (Jere Salo), who is a player aged under 18, as a measure to encourage responsible gambling.

“The partnership with ENCE is a natural fit for our operator Rizk. With the rise in popularity of eSports in general and the recent launch of Rizk sportsbook, the timing for this branding opportunity couldn’t have been better. ENCE has a globally renowned team and we are proud to be supporting them through all the tournaments and events they will be attending this year across the world,” said Robin Reed, CEO of GiG.

“ENCE is very happy to be working with Rizk, paving their way to the wonderful world of eSports. With a rapidly changing and growing industry, we are here to support Rizk to take the right steps in getting involved
