Sportsbet.io has brought in Cleveland Cavaliers star player Tristan Thompson as its new global brand ambassador.
Thompson is a strong advocate for cryptocurrency and will provide the Yolo Group-owned operator with weekly betting tips on a variety of sports, including the NFL, MLB, European soccer, tennis, golf, UFC and boxing.
“Sportsbet.io brings together my two biggest passions: sports and cryptocurrency. I’ve been following the crypto sector for some time now and have seen how transformative it can be. There’s no better place to combine that with my love of sports than Sportsbet.io,” said Thompson.
Shane Anderson, director of brand, partnerships and content at Yolo Entertainment, commented: “We’d like to give a huge Sportsbet.io welcome to Tristan, an elite athlete whose passion for both basketball and cryptocurrency makes him a perfect match for us. We’re thrilled to have him on the team, and we already have some exciting plans in the works. Watch this space.”
