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.”

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.”
