Sportsbet.io have engineered an innovation in customer experience in online betting by combining cutting-edge technology with their cryptocurrency expertise – essentially creating a crypto-gaming space in the market.
With Arsenal the company will focus marketing on creating exclusive experiences, targeting the club’s 80 million+ digital connections.

A club press release said “both organisations are also committed to working together to explore other social responsibility initiatives and promote safe and responsible gambling throughout the partnership.”
Tim Heath, Founder of the Coingaming Group, said: “Signing a three-year deal with Arsenal… is a huge venture and something we are all very excited about… Watch this space, as we seize the opportunity to promote crypto gaming awareness, and hope to push forward crypto gaming adoption on a scale never seen before in football.”
