Volleyball World has announced a partnership with crypto sports betting and online casino, Stake.com, which will become the exclusive betting partner of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL).

The deal will last for the duration of 2023, following a similar partnership that was deemed successful between the two companies during the VNL Osaka event in 2022.

Stake.com will be involved with both the Women’s and the Men’s VNL matches in this year's league.

Finn Taylor, CEO of Volleyball World, said: "We are ecstatic to welcome back Stake.com as our partner for the 2023 VNL.

“With our reach in multiple markets, including Brazil, Canada, and beyond, our partnership will offer an unparalleled platform to connect with a passionate and engaged fanbase from around the globe.

“We look forward to seeing how Stake.com will elevate the matchday experience for our fans and add even more excitement to the tournament."

As the exclusive betting partner, Stake.com will promote the volleyball games to its global market of customers.

Branding from Stake.com will also be featured around the volleyball courts, including the digital advertisement areas.

Akhil Sarin, Director of Acquisition for Stake.com, said: "Our involvement with the VNL in 2022 was a resounding success, so it was an easy decision to secure a partnership on a larger scale for 2023.

“We're looking forward to seeing the Stake branding light up the courts and offering Volleyball fans globally an unbeatable proposition on our platform throughout the tournament."

Earlier this month, Stake.com announced its partnership with Amazon Prime's Live Boxing 4 event, which will feature the boxing debut of kickboxing champion, Tenshin Nasukawa.
