Online casino and sportsbook LEON has expanded its partnership with the esports organisation GamerLegion to include the team’s Dota 2 roster.

LEON already sponsors GamerLegion’s Counter-Strike 2 team, and the new agreement marks the next step in the brand’s growing LEON esport direction.

GamerLegion’s North American Dota 2 squad was formed in late 2025 and played its first official match on November 15th. The team is currently ranked around #17 in the world and has already taken part in major tournaments such as PGL Wallachia, DreamLeague and BLAST Slam.

As part of the expanded partnership, LEON and GamerLegion will launch exclusive giveaways, fan activities and joint content for the esports community, continuing to build engagement around both teams.

This March, as Hollywood rolls out the red carpet for the Academy Awards, South Africa’s favourite online casino, SpringbokCasino.co.za, is handing the judging duties over to the ultimate experts of the bush. The March exclusive feature, “BEST PICTURE OF 2026 — ACCORDING TO THE WILD”, explores the year’s top films through the eyes of five iconic South African animals.

To celebrate this “Wild Oscars” season, Springbok Casino is offering players 25 Free Spins on Oz Golden Trail.

The Wild Jury:

• The Lion’s Best Picture (Power): Sinners – The King of the Jungle naturally gravitated toward this tale of dominance and raw authority.

• The Elephant’s Best Picture (Memory): Sentimental Value – With a memory that spans decades, the Elephant chose the film that touched the deepest emotional chords.

• The Leopard’s Best Picture (Precision): One Battle After Another – For a predator that relies on stealth and timing, this high-stakes action drama was the only choice.

• The African Fish Eagle’s Best Picture (Vision): Frankenstein – With a bird’s-eye view of the world, the Eagle rewarded the most striking and visionary cinematic achievement.

• The African Penguin’s Best Picture (Heart): Marty Supreme – South Africa’s most charismatic coastal resident chose the film with the most charm and underdog spirit.

Daniel Van Wyke, Springbok Casino Manager, commented:
“We wanted to bring a South African twist to Awards season by seeing the movies through the eyes of our local legends. Whether you have the strength of a Lion or the heart of a Penguin, there is a winning story—and a winning spin—waiting for you this March.”
