When purchasing Kaspersky Internet Security with Gaming Mode, gamers in Russia will automatically receive a three-month FACEIT Premium Subscription or a three-month NAVI community subscription on FACEIT and gamers in Germany will automatically receive 10,000 FACEIT Points or a two-month BIG community subscription on FACEIT

Gamers on the leading competitive platform for online multiplayer games, FACEIT, now benefit from a new partnership with global cyber security expert Kaspersky. By purchasing an annual subscription to Kaspersky Internet Security with Gamer Mode, FACEIT registered users in Russia will automatically receive a three-month FACEIT Premium Subscription or a three-month NAVI community subscription on FACEIT and in Germany will automatically receive 10,000 FACEIT points or a two-month subscription to the German BIG Community on the platform. This offer is available until March 14, 2022.

Gamers and their accounts are a high value target for cyber criminals. From January 2020 to July 2021, over 300,000 users encountered various gaming-related malware that targeted personal information, money, cryptocurrencies as well as account access data. To protect themselves, gamers need a dedicated security solution. However, many fear that this might affect their gaming experience. Kaspersky Internet Security incorporates Gamer Mode, which offers comprehensive protection with a high detection rate and which does not hamper the gaming experience. Specifically, it has low impact on Frames per Second (FPS) and optimises the device resources to maximise performance.

Kaspersky–FACEIT Bundles: Combining premium gaming experiences and protection for fearless gaming

The Kaspersky – FACEIT bundle combines security, performance and access to gaming experiences including:

For Russia:

three-month FACEIT Premium Subscription or
a three-month subscription to the NAVI community on FACEIT
For Germany:

10.000 FACEIT Points or
a two-month subscription to the BIG community on FACEIT
Furthermore, gamers can take part in the Kaspersky Fearless Gaming Community Nights. During this six-week-long ladder competition, gamers can win 50.000 FACEIT Points and annual Kaspersky subscriptions, while improving their ranking on the competitive gaming platform.

Interested FACEIT Organizers can also become part of Kaspersky’s Global Influencer Program. This offers players who recommend Kaspersky, a commission of up to 50 percent of the purchases generated, and exclusive 100-day trial licenses for their followers.

“We are very pleased to be able to continue driving the topic of security in gaming together with FACEIT”, said Ivan Imhoff, Vice President Digital Business at Kaspersky. “The protection of data, financial resources as well as accounts and the associated digital assets such as skins or equipment are very important to us. Through our offer and this partnership, we want to create an incentive for gamers to install protection solutions so that they can concentrate fully on their game while staying secure.”

“Kaspersky is one of the global leaders in cybersecurity and it has developed an excellent product specifically designed for gamers, which offers players peace of mind without compromising performance or gameplay. Creating fantastic gaming experiences is the bedrock of FACEIT and we’re looking forward to working on this project together”, said Michele Attisani, Co-founder & CBO at FACEIT.

Geckos Games Launches Momentum – The Most Adrenaline-Charged Live Sports Game Ever Built

Geckos Games launched Momentum, a patent-pending real-time sports prediction game unlike anything in the market. THRILLZZ Free Social Sportsbook gone live as the exclusive launch partner on the opening day of the world’s biggest Soccer tournament.

Five Minutes. One Question. Pure Adrenaline.

Every five minutes of a live match, Momentum asks players one question: which team has the Momentum right now? Not who will win the game. Not what the final score will be. Who has the upper hand – this minute, on this pitch – based on every pass, attack, and pressure play happening in real time.

Makes it different from anything that has come before: the Momentum shift on a single event. A yellow card. A saved shot. A dangerous run. Every on-field event recalculates the balance – and players watch their position move with it in real time. It is not a black box. Players see each event land inside the game – the moment it happens on the pitch.

Then comes the timer. As the five-minute window counts down to zero, the tension becomes almost unbearable. Players who are in the win zone are watching every second, knowing a single event in the dying moments can flip everything. The last few seconds of every round are unlike anything else in sports gaming – raw, unscripted, impossible to put down.

Zero Latency. Official Data. Real Stakes.

Momentum is powered by an official match data with zero latency. Every event flows instantly into the game engine. There is no delay, no approximation. What players see is what is happening on the field right now.

This is not a simulation. It is not a simplified model. It is live sport, translated into a game in real time and that distinction is everything.
