Brazilian MMA fighter to promote the world’s number one crash game to his fan base worldwide as it soars past 66 million players per month 

SPRIBE, the studio behind Aviator, the world’s number one crash game, has landed yet another knockout partnership with UFC superstar Valter “The Clean Monster” Walker joining its roster of Aviator brand ambassadors.

The partnership forms part of SPRIBE’s multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing deal with the UFC under which it has a brand ambassador fund, allowing it to partner with individual UFC fighters such as The Clean Monster.

The 12 month partnership will see Valter promote Aviator to his fans in Brazil and beyond through a series of high profile campaigns and marketing stunts.

The Brazilian Mixed Martial Artist has an aggressive and entertaining fighting style which has seen him ride a four-fight win streak, each by heel hook submission. It’s also seen him build a large and loyal fanbase in his home country and internationally.

SPRIBE plans to tap into this as part of efforts to drive awareness of Aviator in Brazil and across Latin America.

Walker joins an impressive line-up of UFC Aviator brand ambassadors including the likes of Alexander Pantoja, Michael Page, Arman Tsarukyan, Diego Lopes, Alex Pereira, Johnny Walker and Merab Dvalishvili.

These partnerships have helped Aviator become the number one crash game on the planet with 66 million players taking flight each month placing more than 400,000 bets per minute across 6,000+ online casino and sportsbook brands.

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “Our multi-year deal with the UFC and the brand ambassador fund we have access to has proved to be hugely effective at driving awareness of Aviator among UFC fans worldwide.

“This partnership with Valter “The Clean Monster” Walker builds on this and allows us to really tap into Brazil and Latin America, markets where Aviator has already proved to be a big hit.

“We’ve got some great campaigns with Valter in the works so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, strap in and take flight with the world’s number one crash game.”

Valter “The Clean Monster” Walker, UFC heavyweight fighter and Aviator brand ambassador, added: “Aviator is one of the most thrilling games I’ve ever played and I’m thrilled to be promoting it to my fans in Brazil and beyond.

“Aviator is fast paced and where high risk can lead to high reward. You strap in, take flight and hold tights as the win multiplier continues to rise. When you decide to cash out is up to you – go too soon and the win is small, but wait too long and you risk losing it all.

“I’m really honored to be working with Aviator and SPRIBE on some truly knock-out campaigns, so watch this space.”
