Bets.io Teams Up with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) to Bring “Road to PFL Africa” to Sports Fans in cross promotional deal
Leading iGaming and sportsbook platform Bets.io have today announced a strategic content collaboration deal with leading MMA promotion, The Professional Fighters League (PFL) and its partnership for “Road to PFL Africa”.
Under the groundbreaking partnership, Bets.io and the PFL will work closely together to create engaging and informative content for MMA and betting fans around the globe, tailored to the “Road to PFL Africa” documentary series.
Earlier this year, PFL announced plans to launch PFL Africa, giving African fighters the opportunity to compete on a global platform.
As part of the deal, Bets.io will also become a trusted betting partner of the PFL and will provide fans with exclusive behind the scenes custom and original content of PFL’s journey towards the launch of PFL Africa, which will be distributed across the PFL and Bets.io owned social and digital channels. In addition, Bets.io will receive access to PFL fighters and PFL spokespeople. In return, PFL will promote Bets.io across its owned channels and give the brand a presence at future events that take place on the African continent.
Peter Murray, the CEO of PFL said “The PFL is excited to announce its groundbreaking strategic partnership with Bets.io. When it comes to online cryptocurrency gameplay, you need a winner’s mindset and Bets.io has just that. I’m thrilled to be working with them.”
He added: “Road to PFL Africa, through the lens of Bets.io, will give MMA fans around the globe an intimate look at the story behind PFL Africa. This partnership will help us engage with a wider audience and provide valuable insights as we progress towards the realization of PFL Africa.”
Upon the announcement of the deal Dmitrii Khasanov, Strategic Business Development Partner at Bets.io, said “All of us at Bets.io are massive fans of Mixed Martial Arts. It’s one of the fastest growing sports in the world and we’re excited to be partnering with one of the dominant brands in the sport. The PFL embodies the same principles we stand by at Bets.io – dedication, strength and the belief that anything is possible.
“Our platform is built for thrill seeking players who love to bet online, and we’re excited to see what this partnership unlocks for PFL fans and Bets.io players both now and in the future.”

F*Bastards says it now distributes content via 400+ operators worldwide
F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.
In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.
F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.
“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
