The Bitcoin logo will appear on the shirt sleeve of Watford FC this season, as part of an educational drive led by the innovative sports betting brand Sportsbet.io.

The logo is part of a wider campaign to improve awareness around Bitcoin and educate the public on the benefits of using cryptocurrencies.

It is led by Watford FC’s primary shirt sponsor, Sportsbet.io, which announced a landmark deal with the Hornets team in June.

Justin Le Brocque, Head of Marketing at Sportsbet.io, said: “The crypto community have been hugely supportive of us since we began, so putting the Bitcoin logo on the sleeve felt like a fun way to give something back while also showing them our support.”

The sponsorship will be crowd-funded, allowing anyone who holds Bitcoin the exclusive opportunity to share in the perks granted to Watford FC sponsors. Contributors can bid for public LED space shown live during matches, use of the Bitcoin box for eight people and exclusive Watford FC merchandise.

“Some of the biggest challenges we and others like us face is raising awareness, dispelling common myths around cryptos and educating the public on the advantages and opportunities presented by cryptocurrencies,” added Le Brocque.

“Our partnership with Watford marks a major disruption in the world of traditional sports sponsorship, and by adding the Bitcoin logo we hope this world’s first partnership will create even more buzz around cryptocurrencies.”

Scott Duxbury, Hornets’ Chairman & CEO, added: “Placing the Bitcoin logo on a Premier League shirt is something that challenges the accepted norm. We’re excited about the partnerships and the potential for new global conversations that it could help start for our club.”

To celebrate the Bitcoin sponsorship with all Bitcoin holders, Sportsbet.io is also giving away a 2 mbtc Free Bet to all Sportsbet.io players if Watford scores against Arsenal this coming Sunday. More information on the amazing offer can be found https://sportsbet.io/promotions/free-bet-giveaway.

Last month, Sportsbet.io announced a pioneering three-year partnership with Watford, marking the first time a company known for blockchain and cryptocurrency expertise had appeared on the front of a Premier League shirt.

The announcement was accompanied by the launch of Sportsbet.io’s ‘Know No Borders’ campaign, which highlights the brand’s commitment to putting players at the heart of the action, no matter their country, sport, team or currency.

Sportsbet.io accepts a range of fiat and cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, to deliver the very best in fun, fast and fair gaming.

With the $5 Million Venom tourney on it’s way since July 14^th, the US-facing online poker site is promising to send the winner their $1 millionpayment by Bitcoin, minutes after the final hand.

“We’ve made cryptocurrency a key part of our business for the last four years and now we’re going to make a seven-figure payment,” stated Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. “No other payment method lets players get paid faster and we’re putting our faith in Bitcoin with this large-scale transaction.”

The $5 Million Venom has three Day 1’s and the final table will be played on Wednesday, July 24th. It features a staggering $5 Million guaranteed prize pool and first place gets at least $1 million, making it the biggest tourney in ACR history and the biggest ever by a US-facing site.

The $5 Million Venom winner will receive their $1 Million via Bitcoin mere minutes after the final hand is played — all in one shot. No other gaming site has sent a crypto payout so large, and Americas Cardroom is pleased to make history.

The US-facing site first began accepting Bitcoin in 2015. At the time, the popular cryptocurrency accounted for approximately 2% of all business. Today, players can play and get paid in over 60 different cryptos, including Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency now accounts for over 60% of Americas Cardroom’s business.

While the 60% is large, the number comes as no surprise. Online gaming sites have faced challenges with payment processing due to varying regulations around the world. Cryptocurrency offers players the chance to deposit and withdraw quickly and securely and is quickly becoming the preferred player option.
