Esports Entertainment Group Signs Affiliate Marketing Agreement with Global Speedrun Association
Esports Entertainment Group, Inc., a licensed online gambling company with a specific focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming, is pleased to announce the signing of an Affiliate Marketing Agreement with Global Speedrun Association (“GSA”), which hosts and administrates races on a broad variety of speedrun games, most notably Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey, across their three Twitch channels. As the first platform to offer wagering for speedrunning, this agreement is another milestone for vie.gg, the world’s first and most transparent esports betting exchange.
GLOBAL SPEEDRUNNING COMMUNITY GROWING RAPIDLY
GSA is a relatively new company dedicated to pushing speedrunning into the mainstream and helping speedrunners achieve the same success that esports athletes now enjoy. Despite its relatively recent entrance into the speedrunning space, GSA has generated impressive traffic with 860,000 views from 3 Twitch.tv channels over the last 30 days. More importantly, GSA is growing rapidly and this partnership with VIE.gg will only serve to help accelerate that growth.
The global speedrunning community is growing at a very fast pace, with single events raising over $2,000,000 for charity in 2018, and is expected to continue growing at a very rapid pace for years to come. As the premier P2P betting platform for speedrunning, VIE now gives fans the ability to be on their favourite players, which will serve to broaden the fan base and their attention times, as well as, help attract the top players in the world, including top esports players with an affinity for speedrunning.
Brian Cordry, Head of Esports at Esports Entertainment Group, stated, “Groups like GSA help raise the standard of production quality and push speedrunning forward. We love speedrunners and we love what GSA is doing. I expect speedrunning to grow exponentially and that is why it is so important for Esports Entertainment Group to partner with the likes of GSA for the long term. Together, we will help push speedrunning to the heights that esports is currently achieving.”
Steven Adams, Chief Executive Officer at Global Speedrun Association stated, “GSA is the premier organized speedrunning league and our goal is to increase the consistent quality of our broadcasts and competitions by working with VIE in 2018 and beyond. The key differences this relationship will make are being able to fund larger prize pools for our leagues and tournaments to catalyze higher levels of competition, as well as, attracting and compensating key people that make our broadcasts so entertaining, such as great commentators, video editors and other GSA staff who will be able to increase the output and quality of their productions. Working together will help push speedrunning to new heights and help grow this budding sector of the video game industry, which will lead to betting growth on VIE. Looking forward to the future!”
