We look forward to continuing our relationship to deliver the best and most responsible betting experience in esports.“ 

Fnatic kicks off the renewed partnership with Rivalry just days after taking becoming champions of DreamHack Masters Malmö.

Esports Insider says: When organisations and partners forge deals it’s typically great news for all involved. Later on, when those same deals are extended or renewed, it goes to show that things are going rather well. As we’ve seen with a partnership between another notable esports organisation and bookmaker, these deals can help to create memorable experiences.
