BetBoom is one of the largest bookmakers in Russia. Focusing on technology and user experience, the company is now looking to capitalize on the growing interest in esports in its home country. To achieve that goal, BetBoom has entered into partnership with industry-leading esports betting solution Oddin.gg. Through this key relationship, BetBoom aims to lead the region with an esports betting solution that ventures to satisfy the expectations of millions of fans.

Oddin.gg is an esports-centric provider of odds feeds and risk management solutions, as well as its proprietary and proven solution. They have signed multiple new clients in the last few months, and this will be its first relationship with an operator in Russia. Oddin.gg’s footprint is expanding quickly, especially after its recent partnerships with various large operators and solution providers on the market. The company’s solutions offer customers a truly engaging esports betting experience, appealing to the younger generations of bettors interested in esports.

“We are fully aware of the esports potential in Russia. We have the ambitious plan to become the leader on the local market in esports, but to do so, we need the best product available. This is why we’re extremely happy to partner with Oddin.gg. Its solution will allow us to offer the best product in the market. Oddin.gg’s technology has no equal in the industry; betting lines are available almost all the time, and there are myriad live markets with extensive coverage. We can’t wait to launch the product and lead the fast-growing esports market in Russia, improving our current profitability and attracting massive esports audiences to our sportsbook,’’ stated Petr Kipa, CMO of BetBoom.

The esports scene in Russia is already mainstream, with popular Russian teams regularly succeeding internationally in titles like CS:GO and Dota 2. It was inevitable that an established bookmaker would double down on esports and select the best offer to satisfy the demand of esports fans. With this partnership, BetBoom will be poised to lead the esports scene in Russia, while Oddin.gg continues to expand globally, establishing itself as the top esports betting provider in the industry.

“BetBoom is already one of the most successful bookmakers in Russia with significant plans for further growth,” added Marek Suchar, Managing Director at Oddin.gg. “We believe their success comes partly from listening to their users and giving them what they are looking for. Esports in Russia has been booming for a couple of years, therefore it is only logical that BetBoom wanted to move fast, improving its solution to satisfy users’ high demands. Our solution will provide bettors with an engaging betting experience, leading to increased betting volume and, eventually, GGR. We are excited to launch our first partnership in Russia, and we couldn’t have found a better partner in this regard than BetBoom.”

Thunderpick, the leading esports betting platform delivering fans cutting-edge tools and experiences, announced that FURIA has emerged victorious at the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 — one of the tournament’s most competitive editions yet, featuring four of the world’s top 10 ranked teams. FURIA takes home the $500,000 first-place prize, with KSCERATO earning his first Grand Final MVP.

FURIA’s steady performance and relentless focus were on full display throughout the tournament, culminating in a Finals victory over Natus Vincere. After NAVI went up two maps to zero, FURIA did what many thought was impossible and completed a dominant reverse sweep with a 13:1 on the decisive map.

Natus Vincere finished second place, earning $150,000. The MongolZ, who won the Thunderpick World Championship last year, finished third after defeating Aurora earlier in the day, receiving $70,000 and $50,000, respectively. Venom, 9z, Imperial and OG all placed fifth through eighth, taking home $20,000 each.

“It is a privilege to congratulate FURIA as the Thunderpick World Champions! This tournament was thrilling, featuring exceptional gameplay. The success of our World Championship is thanks to the incredible teams, streamers, partners, staff, and everyone behind the scenes who made it possible, as well as the passionate fans who make this event so special,” said Kelly Sanders, Head of Strategy at Thunderpick.

This year marks the third consecutive Thunderpick World Championship. Last year, The MongolZ stunned HEROIC to claim their third international title of the season, cementing their status on the global CS2 stage. In 2023, FaZe Clan took the crown after defeating Virtus.pro, with Robin “ropz” Kool earning the MVP title. The TWC 2025 Finals are presented in collaboration with Hotspawn, a leading hub for esports news and analysis.
