BGaming collaborates with top iGaming companies to support the creation of the new DAR Bjorn Respite Centre in Malta

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming recently partnered with White Label Casinos and NEXT.io to host a charity gala event to raise funds and awareness for the DAR Bjorn, Malta’s pioneering neurological home for individuals with ALS, MS, and other neurological conditions.

DAR Bjorn Charity Gala, held at Villa Bighi on May 9th, stood out as one of the most remarkable charity events in Malta. All three organising companies were proud of their collective achievement on the night. Beyond fundraising, the event aimed to strengthen relationships within the iGaming community and beyond, fostering a spirit of unity and collective philanthropy.

BGaming, White Label Casinos, and Next.io demonstrated their commitment to corporate social responsibility by raising €200,000 to support the construction of the new DAR Bjorn Respite Centre.

The event gathered over 400 guests and brought together familiar faces from leading companies in the iGaming industry as well as the local Maltese community. All attendees contributed significantly to the fundraising effort by purchasing tickets, bidding in the art auction, and buying exclusive merchandise from the “Dream Big. Give Bigger.” collection, created in partnership with Swag42.

BGaming contributed €20,000 to the cause, which will fund the construction of a vital room within the DAR Bjorn Respite Centre. As BGaming continues its expansion in Malta, the company remains committed not only to business growth but also to positively impacting the local community. Supporting initiatives that enhance people’s lives is a cornerstone of BGaming’s corporate philosophy, with charitable efforts playing a key role in its social responsibility strategy.

Marina Ostrovtsova, Chief Executive Officer at BGaming, said: “I’m so proud of what BGaming team has managed to accomplish with this event, and I couldn’t be more grateful for our partners, NEXT.io and White Label Casinos, as well as to everyone who contributed. This event demonstrates how our industry can be a force for good, showing that we can make a meaningful difference through collective action.

The DAR Bjorn Neurological Home is a remarkable centre that profoundly improves people’s lives. We’re honoured to support their mission and help raise awareness of the vital work they do.”

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
