Quickbit Partners with RightBridge Ventures Group
Quickbit announced that it has entered into a partnership with the investment company RightBridge Ventures Group (RightBridge), which focuses on Esports and Gaming. The collaboration aims to utilise RightBridge’s expertise, market knowledge and reach within the Gaming segment to effectively expand the customer base for both Quickbit Pay and Quickbit App.
Quickbit has, as a result of its strategy and market work, identified Esports and Gaming as a segment with high potential for growth. Due to that, Quickbit is now increasing its focus on effectively penetrating the segment by targeting consumers, gamers, platforms and enterprises.
As part of that effort, RightBridge will assist Quickbit with its expertise to develop a strategy and execution plan to achieve rapid growth in Esports and Gaming. RightBridge will also implement Quickbit Pay as a solution in its portfolio companies where cryptocurrency payments are requested. This will create clear proof-of-concepts within the segment and also mean profitable business opportunities for both parties from the start. In addition, Quickbit App will be applied within RightBridge’s network, where there is a need for that type of product.
“The Esports and Gaming segment is growing rapidly and has an unusually high degree of maturity in terms of crypto usage. From Quickbit’s side, we see great potential network effects in being able to offer both consumers and businesses a platform to manage and transact with cryptocurrencies. With this collaboration, we drastically reduce the distance from identified to realized potential and look forward with excitement to the effect this can have on our growth in the coming year,” Jesper Sundström, Head of Growth at Quickbit, said.
“We are pleased that Quickbit has chosen Rightbridges Ventures Group as an advisor and strategic partner to help Quickbit enter the growing Esports & Gaming segment. This is a segment that accounts for a large part of crypto trading and with a very high degree of maturity when it comes to crypto payment solutions. Being able to include Quickbit’s crypto payment services in our portfolio companies’ service offerings helps them to strengthen the companies’ market position but also to accelerate Quickbit’s entry into Gaming and Esports. There is a great demand among our portfolio companies’ end customers to be able to buy products online with cryptocurrency,” Carlos Barrios, CEO of RightBridge Ventures Group, said.
“RightBridge Ventures will deliver support to Quickbit through a market strategy work and execution plan aimed at building Quickbit’s brand and increasing their transaction volume,” Carlos Barrios added.
Esportes Gaming Brasil director Hugo Baungartner used a panel appearance at BiS Brasília (Brazilian iGaming Summit) to argue that sports and cultural sponsorships should be measured by their long-term impact, not just brand visibility. Baungartner spoke during the session “A Importância dos Patrocínios e das Leis de Incentivo para a Sustentabilidade do Esporte e da Cultura.”
During the debate, Baungartner said sector maturity requires a long-term approach that turns sponsorships into platforms for relationship-building and local ecosystem development, connecting with fans, consumers and communities.
He highlighted the group’s sports partnerships with Corinthians, Ceará, Náutico and Ferroviária, as well as support for Brazilian cultural events including Carnaval, São João and the Festival de Parintins. Baungartner said major events can move entire supply chains by boosting tourism, commerce and job opportunities, and pointed to the importance of working with local suppliers and professionals in Parintins to expand the positive impacts of sponsorship spending.
Baungartner also addressed challenges in Brazil’s regulated betting market, saying consolidation depends on governance, integrity and consumer protection, alongside efforts to combat illegal operators. He said advances in provider regulation and stronger financial traceability mechanisms are important steps to limit unauthorized activity and improve user security.
“Patrocínio responsável é aquele que cria conexão real com o público e deixa legado no território. No esporte e na cultura, isso significa investir com governança, transparência e propósito, fortalecendo um ecossistema que gera renda, emprego e oportunidades”, afirmou.

Team Vitality and Fulllife Unveil a New FPS Jersey for the Valorant Masters London and IEM Cologne Major 2026
Team Vitality has unveiled its new “FPS Jersey,” specially designed for IEM Cologne 2026 and the VALORANT Masters 2026 in collaboration with its apparel partner Fulllife. Conceived as a strong symbol of ambition, performance and legacy, the jersey features an exclusive central crest and introduces a bold visual evolution for the club.
After making history on Counter-Strike, Team Vitality is celebrating its FPS DNA through a jersey dedicated to its two flagship titles. Through this initiative, the club reinforces its ambition to leave a lasting mark on the world’s biggest FPS stages and establish this jersey as a new benchmark within the esports industry.
AN EXCEPTIONAL JERSEY FOR A HISTORIC MOMENT
For this new release, Team Vitality embraces a completely new visual approach. For the first time in the club’s history, purple is introduced alongside its iconic yellow and black colours, in line with the organisation’s new 2026 artistic direction. This bold creative choice allows the jersey to stand out within the esports landscape while surprising and exciting fans.
The symbol featured on the front of the jersey reinterprets an iconic part of the club’s logo: the “V” combined with the lower section of the bee’s body. This graphic element, called the “Mini Bee,” is integrated throughout the jersey’s design to symbolise the swarm — representing collective strength, the identity of the Hive and the power of the Team Vitality community.
Fulllife has brought its technical expertise to a piece designed both for competition and for the fans in the stands. Every detail reflects the club’s continued rise on the international stage and its ambition to leave a lasting legacy in esports. The accompanying apparel collection also incorporates the same colour palette and includes lifestyle pieces designed for everyday wear.
“We are extremely proud of this new FPS-focused marketing campaign — a true love letter to Counter-Strike and VALORANT. An exclusive jersey, a dedicated fan zone, and numerous activations created hand in hand with our partners for our fans… We are ready for two major international events, with the clear ambition of continuing to establish Team Vitality among the best esports clubs in the world,” said Amélie Canet, Chief Marketing Officer.
PERFORMANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY
The FPS Jersey is manufactured in Portugal using NanoMatter, a technical fabric made from 100% recycled polyester and specifically developed for competitive players. Ultra-comfortable, lightweight and breathable, it is designed to perform under the most demanding conditions.
Each order is delivered in Fulllife’s iconic Capsule packaging, redesigned in Team Vitality’s colors, FSC-certified and accompanied by 100% recycled and recyclable polybags.
“This jersey is one of the boldest pieces we have ever produced. Our role was to bring a strong creative vision to life using the best materials and manufacturing processes available, delivering a product that truly reflects Team Vitality’s ambitions on the international stage,” said Maxime Baziadoly, General Manager of Fulllife.
