Betway will sponsor the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 
BLAST Pro Series, the company announced today, adding another esports partnership to what has already been a busy 2019 for the online betting platform.
RFRSH Entertainment’s BLAST Pro Series spans eight international tournaments each season, with each event featuring six top teams (including at least one local to the region) and a $250K USD prize pool. The 2019 season’s first event is this weekend in São Paulo, Brazil, with a Miami, Florida, stop in April and Madrid, Spain, in May.
Along with branding on broadcasts and within stadiums, Betway will also sponsor backstage access segments and provide VIP hospitality. The deal is for one year, with the option to renew for an additional year.

“BLAST Pro Series is one of the most exciting tournament series on the calendar; you only have to look at the reaction of the community—both in stadium and online—to confirm this,” said Betway marketing and operations director Paul Adkins in a release. “With events in the series being held all across the world, we can’t wait to reach even more fans than ever before.”
In January, Betway agreed to a two-year sponsorship of German organization Berlin International Gaming (BIG) , and in February renewed its partnership with ESL on a one-year deal, with the option for a second year. Last October, the company renewed its sponsorship of Ninjas in Pyjamas with a three-year, seven-figure deal.
