Liquipedia.net Partners with Esports Entertainment Group’s VIE.bet, the World’s Most Transparent Esports Betting Platform

Published

on

 

Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. and its secure esports betting platform VIE.bet have partnered with Liquipedia.net, the world’s largest esports wiki and an affiliate of top esports organization Team Liquid. VIE.bet and Liquipedia will partner to create the most community-centric and responsible betting integration in esports, launching May 3, 2021.

Through their alliance, VIE.bet will be integrated into select Liquipedia pages, allowing Liquipedia’s millions of monthly visitors to see betting odds and place bets through VIE while having a safe experience. By partnering together, Liquipedia and VIE.bet are able to instill safety mechanisms that ensure betting information is only shown to users of legal age in VIE’s 150 whitelisted jurisdictions around the world, with another license in New Jersey pending. Betting information will be shown with visible guidelines on gambling safety, and users who prefer not to see sports betting odds will have the option to toggle them off. In partnership with VIE.bet, Liquipedia will also be publishing Esports Betting Advertising Guidelines as a Commons Wiki resource, in order to establish esports industry-wide best practices for safety, integrity and accountability in betting advertisements and partnerships.

VIE.bet and Liquipedia are committed to collaborating with enforcement and integrity institutions dedicated to safe and responsible esports betting and advertising. This includes working with the Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC), a not-for-profit association taking responsibility for disruption, protection, investigation and prosecution of all forms of cheating in esports. In 2019, the coalition designated Esports Entertainment Group an Anti-Corruption Supporter, enabling VIE.bet to participate in ESIC’s global suspicious bet alert system, contribute to anti-corruption education initiatives, and tap into ESIC’s accumulated best practices for sports betting.

Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group, said: “Esports communities have incredible passion and competitive drive, which makes for an exciting betting landscape. Unfortunately, that passion and drive is often taken advantage of, and there’s significant distrust towards betting platforms in the space. We believe there’s a better way forward in esports betting that comes from collaboration with trusted institutions. We’re proud to work with Liquipedia and VIE.bet on this new initiative, and we’re confident in VIE.bet’s ability to foster an active esports betting community by building a safe, trusted experience.”

Bux Syed, Director of VIE, said: “Liquipedia has been part of my daily life for at least 10 years. I use them to check the latest tournaments, upcoming matches and results; me and 700 million other esports fans like me visit their platform each year. As a new esports betting brand, we’re aiming to grow our brand through community based projects. It’s a no brainer for us to partner with Liquipedia and its community to educate esports fans about safe and regulated gambling. My team and I are extremely excited to work with the Liquipedia team, and we’re looking forward to introducing VIE and engaging with its community.”

Erik Saler, Head of Liquipedia, said: “A lot of esports sites have integrated betting in careless ways, sadly. As one of the largest resources in esports we not only felt a responsibility to do this better, but we also felt that if we do it right – with the right partner, in the right way – we could help improve betting in esports as a whole and make it safer for all. We are proud to have found like-minded allies in VIE.bet who share our values of community, safety, responsibility, and integrity.”

International Game Technology PLC announced that it recently launched its second omnichannel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game for Canada, Money Mania slots. The game is currently available on British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) PlayNow.com site and at 22 BCLC-governed casinos throughout British Columbia. IGT is the only supplier in the world to offer omnichannel jackpot games with shared jackpot liquidity across the land-based, online and mobile versions of the games.

“We know our players love the excitement that the Powerbucks games offer, so BCLC is thrilled to launch IGT’s Money Mania – another title that draws upon the same opportunity for cross-channel jackpots. Both BCLC and IGT are passionate about bringing innovative games to players and fueling responsible growth in the industry. We also recognize that BCLC is in a unique position with our ability to offer cross-channel experiences for players. Whether players choose to play Money Mania at the casino or online, we’re confident this is another game they’ll love,” said Dan Beebe, BCLC Chief Operating Officer.

IGT’s Money Mania is a proven multi-level progressive (MLP) game that features player-favorite game mechanics and multiple base-game themes. The game includes a $100,000 top-level “Money Jackpot” and a fast-growing, fast-hitting second-level WAP jackpot – “Mania Jackpot”. With a jackpot-reset value of $4000, the game’s “Mania Jackpot” is designed to hit frequently, especially with land-based, online and mobile gameplay all simultaneously feeding the jackpot meter.

“IGT’s Money Mania omnichannel WAP game is designed to frequently deliver mid-to-large-size jackpots, drive cross-channel gameplay and engage BCLC players online and in casinos. Like Powerbucks, IGT’s Money Mania is at the forefront of jackpot innovation and supports IGT’s commitment to and leadership in omnichannel content and innovation,” said David Flinn, IGT SVP Sales, Canada, South and Central America.

BCLC was the first gaming operator in the world to offer an omnichannel jackpot game when it partnered with IGT for the 2016 launch of Powerbucks slots. Since then, IGT’s Powerbucks has remained one of the top-performing games in Canada and has minted more than 50 millionaires across the country.
