One.Fun goes Esports BAR in Cannes this fall
iGaming Key-players will gather to discuss the current market situation in the e-Sport industry at the Esports BAR summit in Canes this fall.
The betting industry turned to esports in order to curb the effects of the pandemic on their business in 2020 due the cancellation of traditional sports events around the globe.. For esports, these unusual circumstances created an opportunity to reach new audiences, including those it might not have otherwise reached at all. Market Insight Reports predicts that the size of the global esports betting market is expected to reach US$13.05bn by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.1% over the forecast period of 2020 to 2025.
With this perspective in mind, most betting companies started to look for the best ways to open up to esports. As a result, B2B collaborations began to boom. In the process of replacing traditional sports, and increasing the betting volume, sportsbooks added more competitive esports events to their portfolio, which secured data providers with wider coverage.
Mickael Shahinyan, One.Fun co-founder will join the Esport BAR as moderator of one of the sessions where the following questions would be discussed:
– What are the current trends in esports betting?
– What are the synergies when cross-selling sports and esports games?
– What are the threats faced by betting companies in esports?
– How do you handle betting and the young esports audience?
Mickael Shahinyan says: “Discussing the current market situation with industry key-players we may find answers the Esports industry really needs. As a One.Fun co-founder I do have access to users’ and clients’ feedback we have collected after hitting the beta of our project. This feedback is what industry needs and I will share it along one of the sessions at Esports BAR where I will act as a moderator. Real industry feedback combined with real operating experience. I do appreciate the opportunity to join the Esports BAR and do believe we will hit the market during the show. ”
North Star Network has acquired Um Dois Esportes, a sports coverage and analysis site created from the merger of Gazeta Do Povo and Tribuna do Paraná in 2020.
Julien Josset, co-founder of North Star Network, said: “Thank you to the team at GRPCOM for their faith in us to take the brand forward. Um Dois Esportes is an established and renowned site in Paraná State, and we’re excited about the challenge of developing this asset.
“We’re happy to maintain the collaboration with the existing editorial team, and look forward to working with them, bringing our unique NSN approach, to take UDE forward.”
NSN’s signing of Um Dois Esportes is the media house’s fourth acquisition of 2024, following the recent deals to purchase UK-based SportsMole and MrFixitsTips, as well as Chilean site AlAireLibre, which was announced in March.
The latest addition to the North Star media portfolio joins existing assets including Top Mercato, Afrik-Foot, and Vringe. The Paris-based company already oversees a significant Brazilian operation, delivering over 6 million sessions per month, from the likes of Trivela, Premier League Brasil and Lakers Brasil.
NSN will retain Curitiba-based journalists from the Um Dois Esportes legacy team to maintain the asset’s unique tone and popular coverage of the Paraná sports scene across site and social.
Rafael Mello, Director of GRPCOM, said: “We were surprised by the interest, and initially had no intention of selling Um Dois, but as the conversations evolved, we realised this was a serious group with good intentions. We were very happy to see our project being valued by a large international group and going global, demonstrating the quality of the content we produced.
“We’re also proud that North Star inherited our journalists, who are truly responsible for the success of the product we offer readers every day.”
