SPRIBE has entered into yet another knock-out Aviator brand ambassador partnership, this time with top-ranked UFC welter and middleweight, Michael “Venom” Page.
Hailing from London, ‘MVP’ is recognised throughout the MMA community as a standout athlete in the middleweight division, admired for his creativity, power and showmanship inside the Octagon®. His unique style and personality have made him a fan favourite worldwide.
As an Aviator brand ambassador, MVP will promote the world’s number one crash game to his large and loyal army of fans across the world through several thrilling campaigns.
The collaboration forms part of SPRIBE’s wider multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing deal with UFC that has brought Aviator branding to the famous Octagon on UFC Fight Night and numbered events.
Page joins a growing roster of UFC superstars promoting Aviator to their fans, including the likes of Arman Tsarukyan, Diego Lopes, Alex Pereira, Johnny Walker and Merab Dvalishvili.
The partnership has proved transformational for Aviator, which has grown from 10 million to over 60 million monthly players and continues to capture new audiences around the world.
Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “We are thrilled to add Michael “Venom” Page to our lineup of Aviator brand ambassadors and for him to be taking part in some truly epic campaigns over the coming 12 months.
“MVP is a fearless fighter who always puts on a great show whenever he steps into the Octagon, and this has seen him earn a large and loyal international fan base.
“We look forward to engaging these fans and showing them why Aviator is the number one crash game in the world, and why, like Michael, they should strap in, take flight and see if they can hold their nerve against the increasing win multiplier.”
Michael “Venom” Page, UFC Fighter and Aviator brand ambassador, added: “Aviator is a white-knuckle ride where the stakes are high, but so too is the potential reward.
“Nothing beats stepping into the Octagon and going toe to toe with an opponent, but strapping in a taking flight with Aviator comes pretty close.
“I know my fans will love the fast-paced thrill ride it provides and look forward to introducing them to Aviator through some great campaigns over the coming 12 months.”

Valentina will lead two major sessions:
- Keynote: “Building B2B Brands That Lead the Game”
Why brand building in B2B can no longer be underestimated, and how it shapes long-term trust, growth, and leadership. - Panel: “How CMOs Are Navigating the Next Era”
A debate with senior marketing executives on the evolving role of marketing: balancing brand and demand, embracing AI, and leading teams through transformation.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
BETBY, a leading sportsbook supplier, has reported another strong quarter, with its Q3 2025 performance underlining consistent growth and sustained engagement across its global partner network. The results highlight the provider’s continued expansion, innovation, and ability to deliver competitive value to operators worldwide.
During the third quarter, BETBY’s sportsbook recorded a 56.07% year-on-year increase in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), a 24.92% rise in total bets placed, and a 19.45% increase in active players, aligning with the solid upward trend seen in the company’s H1 results.
Importantly, these results were achieved despite a non-idyllic September, which was marked by uncompetitive margins due to sporting outcomes. This resilience further underscores the company’s ability to maintain growth momentum even in unfavourable market conditions.
This performance further demonstrates the scalability and reliability of BETBY’s sportsbook solution, which continues to attract new partners and drive growth across regulated markets. The supplier’s investment in proprietary trading models, AI-powered tools, and tailored partner support remains central to its strategy.
Betby.Games, BETBY’s proprietary esports feed, also delivered a positive quarter, achieving an 8.43% year-on-year increase in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), a 6.18% rise in total bets placed, and an 11.85% growth in active players compared to the same period last year.
Leonid Pertsovskiy, Chief Executive Officer at BETBY, commented: “Q3 once again demonstrates the strength of our products and the trust we’ve built with our partners. We continue to deliver solid results across both sportsbook and esports verticals, driven by innovation, user-centric solutions, and our commitment to excellence.
