Meet Your Makers (MYM) has just signed on a new sponsor and partner, which is no one else than the world’s first eSports betting company, XLBet, who offers fixed odds on eSports matches. XLBET, which besides eSports betting, also acts as a normal bookmaker on regular sports, events and feature a casino, will also soon be opening a poker room. XLBet will with today’s announcement be the official main sponsor of Meet Your Makers (MYM) and its teams.
As WC3Manager is a sistersite to MYM and a part of the Regroup Esports-network, we will also see some changes here. Firstly there will be a Betting-forum where you can ask about anything from specific odds to game analysis and more. Secondly we are offering our users a signup bonus on XLBet.com, and thirdly you will see some XLBet-banners around on the site.

Mark Peter Fries, COO in MYM says:
The partner and sponsorship deal with XLBET has been on the drawing board for quite some time now and has from the beginning been a very interesting project for both parties. eSports betting in various shapes and especially poker are something a lot of gamers already spend a great amount of time on and therefore a very interesting area for us as a professional gaming team to enter. XLBET will support MYM financially and the deal also contains a lot of very interesting projects and events between the two parties. As of today you will for instance be able an editorial piece “Pick of the day” every day on mymym.com, some made by our chief editor and some by our star players like Neo and Grubby. Get inspired via articles how to place your bet(s), see XLBET odds in our match ticker, debate in the myMYM XLBET forum and or participate in some of the upcoming XLBET tournaments and cups. All-in-all a win/win situation for both companies, with great times ahead and I am pleased to welcome them as both a sponsor and partner.

Jacob Nielsen, co-Founder and COO of XLBET says:
We are really excited about the partnership with MYM and we are sure this will turn into a beneficial relationship for the entire E-Sport community. The world will finally realize that E-sport is the future and to be taken serious. The fact that we are accepted by the owners of one of the biggest communities and most respected brands in the business is a huge cadeau for us.
Hopefully we can live up to the expectations and satisfy all E-Sports punters demands of various matches and events, but we are aware, that we have to take it step by step, and we hope everybody will respect that in the premature face. What I can guarantee though is that the client’s data and general security regarding money transactions will be top class.
