The pair first signed a deal in 2019; in 2020, BIG’s esports team earned multiple wins in Counter Strike: Global Offensive events.

BIG hopes to continue building on last year’s esports success with its CS:GO team. It will also aim to promote safer gambling, with Betway promoting the content on its Twitch and YouTube channels.

Adam Savinson, head of esports at Betway, said: “We have had an incredibly successful two years of sponsorship with BIG, and watching them develop into one of the world’s best CSGO teams has been a true pleasure.

“With today’s renewal, I’m excited to confirm our dedication to both BIG as an organisation as well as the wider CSGO industry.”

Daniel Finkler, CEO at BIG added: “Today I am delighted to announce that our partnership with Betway, one of the world's most famous betting operators, has been successfully extended.

“Since the start of our partnership in the early days of 2019, there have been many memorable moments with unforgettable victories and achievements that we are very proud of.”

Betway recently agreed a sponsorship deal with Brazilian CS:GO team ‘Made in Brazil’. The operator also extended its contract with tournament organiser BLAST Premier in December 2020.
