Grant Rousseau, Director Of Esports at Guild said: “It’s been a rapid rise to the forefront of the esports scene for Guild, and to have our brand realised in-game in Rocket League is a real privilege. We’re looking forward to seeing our Rocket League squad compete in Guild colours, pulling off amazing goals and showcasing their incredible talent”.

To celebrate this launch, Guild’s elite team have offered their own top tactics to inspire fans’ Rocket League skills.

Mike “Gregan” Ellis“You have to stay in the Boost +20 mindset.Try to always have about 20 more boosts than is required for your play, so you have enough to recover fast. Don’t allow yourself to get caught out after wasting all your backup boost on all-in plays.”

David “Deevo” Morrow: “Scope out the pitch and where the boost is to give yourself a strong advantage during the game. Try to learn small boost pad paths to efficiently pick-up boost when moving. This gives you more chances to surprise the other team as you leave the play less often.

Joseph “Noly” Kidd: “Try and master one skill at a time! Find training packs which will help you to develop the specific skills you think could improve. And don’t forget, practice consistently to always be improving.

Thomas “ThO.” Binkhorst: “Don’t fall into the trap of overthinking, it makes you slow and can stop you from making bold plays. Sometimes you have to switch off your brain and allow your instincts to take over, as it makes you unpredictable to the opponent!

Guild’s Rocket League decal can be purchased via Rocket Leagues Item store today, which can be found via the main menu of the game!

Oddin.gg is proud to announce that it has secured a full 3-year sports betting license in Ohio, further strengthening its standing as the esports betting solutions provider with the most licenses in North America. With this latest addition, Oddin.gg now holds four US licenses—New Jersey, Colorado, West Virginia, and Ohio—and a total of five across North America, including Ontario, Canada.

The Ohio license is a strategic milestone, as the state is set to become one of the most active betting markets in the American Midwest. According to projections from the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, the state’s sports gaming market is expected to reach approximately $3.35 billion annually as it matures. By securing this license, Oddin.gg is well-positioned to support operators in tapping into this significant potential.

Obtaining the Ohio license also demonstrates Oddin.gg’s ability to meet the state’s comprehensive regulatory standards, which include arduous assessments of financial stability, operational integrity, and adherence to state laws. This achievement reinforces Oddin.gg’s reputation for compliance and reliability, enhancing its capability to deliver full-service esports betting solutions tailored to a growing market.

Ohio’s sports betting legislation imposes a 10% tax on sports gaming receipts, contributing to public education and initiatives supporting veterans in the state. Oddin.gg’s entry into this regulated environment reinforces its role as a leader in shaping the future of esports betting in the US while offering operators a pathway to engage with a new generation of bettors in a secure and exciting way.

approval aer meeting the state’s rigorous standards is a true reflection of our commitment to integrity and excellence both in Ohio and beyond. However, this license isn’t just about expanding our reach; it’s about ensuring our partners have access to market-leading esports betting solutions that fully align with all local regulatory requirements.”

He continued, “Ohio’s market is gearing up to be something special, and we’re excited to help operators tap into that potential. As esports betting continues to evolve, Oddin.gg is ready to provide the expertise, technology, and support to make sure our partners succeed.
