PandaScore and Dabble unite through shared commitment to innovation
Dabble, the home of the social bet, has selected innovative esports odds and data provider, PandaScore, to launch its first esports offering to players in Australia. The partnership brings together two next-generation companies pushing boundaries across both betting and esports.
Dabble has built a community of people that enjoy a more inclusive, social and engaging betting experience across traditional sports and now esports. Its app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and the Google Play store and allows users to follow others, write bet descriptions and share them with others while bantering with their fellow Dabblers.
Under the partnership, Dabble will integrate PandaScore’s powerful Odds feed to offer hundreds of pre-match markets across thousands of events covering major titles such as League of Legends, Dota2 and CS:GO.
PandaScore’s odds models are backed by an expert esports trading team, allowing Dabble to offer the most competitive odds in the market. This in turn allows operators to hit an industry leading margin. Dabble can also access 24/7 trading support plus post-match odds analysis and history.
The operator has also opted to roll-out PandaScore’s innovative BetBuilder tool, allowing players to curate their own bet slips for added engagement.
Dasha Kirilishina, Senior Sales Manager at PandaScore, said: “We are a data-driven company that sits at the cutting-edge of technology, esports and betting. In Dabble, we have an operator that shares our love of innovation, which makes this the perfect partnership for both parties.
“We offer the most comprehensive esports odds, powered by the best data in the business. We combine this with our team of expert traders to ensure partners such as Dabble can offer the best value and experiences to their players. Our BetBuilder takes this to the next level, giving more control to players over the bets they place.
“This is a great partnership for us and one that we believe will be a tremendous success for PandaScore, Dabble and most importantly, bettors.”
Tom Rundle, Dabble Chief Executive Officer, added: “We knew our customers wanted to bet on esports, so we needed a partner that could consistently deliver a wide range of betting odds, and with a high level of accuracy in their pricing.
“Our deal with PandaScore gives us confidence that when combined with our unique Dabble social features, we can now deliver an unrivalled betting experience for esports fans in Australia.”
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.
