Crypto casino renews sponsorship deal of esports team

One of the world’s top esports teams has confirmed a sponsorship deal with a crypto casino.

Rollbit had already teamed up with North American esports organisation FaZe Clan earlier in 2024 but has now extended the partnership with fresh terms.

FaZe Clan was the number one ranked team according to the CS2 Valve World Ranking when the Rollbit deal was first announced, but it has since slipped down to seventh place.

While details of the agreement between the esports team and the crypto casino have not been fully confirmed, a statement revealed that it is worth millions of dollars. Rollbit will be sponsoring FaZe Clan’s Counter-Strike roster, with a focus on outside of the United States.

Like many similar crypto casino sites, Rollbit has been working with a variety of sports teams by making partnerships in order to build its public profile. The site has worked with Serie A giants Napoli in the past and it is also currently the shirt sponsor of Premier League side Southampton.

Sam Norman, Rollbit’s head of partnerships, said the crypto casino is “excited” to expand its deal with FaZe Clan, which he called the number one esports brand in the world.

“Since January 2024, our relationship with FaZe Clan has helped Rollbit significantly grow our brand with an engaged and powerful demographic,” he added. “Our partnership with FaZe Clan demonstrates our commitment to esports and we are looking forward to sharing in FaZe Clan’s success and expanding our support of the top global esports team.”

FaZe Clan has had a busy year, having gone through a merger with GameSquare Holdings in March before going on to host the 2024 Halo Championship Series (HCS) Atlanta Major.

Erik Anderson, the president of FaZe Clan, described the initial link up with Rollbit as “highly successful” in a statement released to mark the renewal of the crypto casino’s sponsorship.

He said: “We are thrilled to deepen our relationship with Rollbit to form a new multi-year, multi-million-dollar sponsorship agreement. As a top global esports team, FaZe Clan provides meaningful exposure to our partners like Rollbit. We look forward to additional opportunities to further grow our historic partnership in the future.”

Rollbit, which was launched in 2020, boasts instant withdrawals with players given a choice from more than 1,000 slots and live games. The crypto casino’s welcome offer is currently paying out 50 bonus spins to new players who sign up for a Rollbit account.
