GamerLegion, a German esports organization, has announced a collaboration with LEON.Bet, an online casino and sportsbook.
The company announced the agreement on October 23 of this year. It will see the two parties partner on a variety of exclusive content, as well as new activations. The company did not disclose the financial terms of the agreement.
LEON.Bet, a skin trading platform, joins the likes of Counter-Strike 2 and Skin.Club in GamerLegion’s portfolio. It becomes the fifth partner of GamerLegion.
The sportsbook is no stranger to the world of esports. In May of last year, LEON.Bet partnered with 9INE, a Swedish esports organization. It became 9INE’s official online betting partner.
GamerLegion also competes in Age of Empire esports, best known for competing in Counter-Strike 2 esports. The organization has maintained a roster in the strategy title since 2020. This roster won the World Desert Championship 2 event in 2021.
GamerLegion’s CS2 team is one of 32 squads that qualified for the StarLadder Budapest Major. The team currently holds 15th place in the October Valve Regional Standings (VRS). The team will begin the tournament in Stage 1, aiming to secure a spot in the Playoffs, which run from November 24 to December 14.
Numerous betting companies have extended their presence into the esports industry throughout 2025.
In July, Team Vitality, a French esports organization, secured a seven-figure deal with Stake. The agreement made Stake the international betting partner of its CS2 roster.
Elsewhere, HEROIC, a Norwegian esports organization joined forces with Razed to sponsor its main and academy CS2 rosters.
Companies keep on expanding esports betting offerings, giving consumers with a greater variety of options when gambling on events, outside of partnering with organizations.
BEBTY, a solutions provider, increased its player props coverage across CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, as well as VALORANT in early October.
