Sports betting supplier Betby has entered a long-term partnership with Magnus Carlsen, the world’s highest-rated chess player and recent recipient of the FIDE Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T) award. 

This partnership marks a move to integrate analytical and strategic elements from chess into Betby’s sports betting solutions.

Betby CEO Leonid Pertsovskiy said: "We are absolutely thrilled to welcome an iconic figure like Magnus Carlsen to the Betby family.

"His legacy in chess, alongside his passion for sports and mastery of decision-making, forward planning and creativity, makes him the perfect global ambassador for our brand.”  

Good to know: Magnus Carlsen, known for his deep analytical skills and decision-making abilities, began competing internationally at a young age. By 13, he became the world’s youngest Grandmaster at the time and he has since achieved milestones including the highest historical chess rating in 2014

In October 2024, Betby partnered with Moonrail Limited BV to provide esports and sportsbook solutions, along with trading and risk management services, to support CSGOEmpire’s global operations. 

The CSGOEmpire collaboration was part of Betby’s effort to enhance betting functionality across diverse markets, providing increased options and risk mitigation tools. 

In September 2024, Betby extended its partnership with 4rabet to target the Asian market with region-specific betting experiences.
