Guild Esports Expands Samsung Partnership with Official TV Partner Deal
Guild Esports, the esports organisation co-owned by David Beckham, is announcing an extension to its partnership with Samsung, the leading global electronics manufacturer, adding a one-year sponsorship deal to become the Official TV Partner.
This agreement follows the success of the first partnership between Guild and Samsung, announced last year, which saw Samsung named as the Official Display Partner. Samsung is providing a selection of TVs from the Neo QLED 2022 range for the Guild Academy and Guild’s headquarters, which will open in London’s Shoreditch later this year.
Guild and Samsung’s partnership shows Samsung’s continued commitment to gamers and the wider creator industry, offering members of Guild and its fans experiences beyond the norm, emphasising its desire to establish a long-standing legacy in esports.
The sponsorship with Guild is for the UK and Ireland and all brand activations are effective from today. It grants Samsung marketing rights and exposure across Guild’s facilities including its planned 9,831 sq ft HQ, as well as social and digital content featuring its professional players, content creators and influencers.
Rory Moran, Director of Global Partnerships, said: “We’re delighted to be growing our partnership with Samsung TV. Samsung is an ideal partner for Guild, given its world-leading technology, focus on innovation and providing people with the best possible entertainment experience. Guild’s talent ranges from pro players to content creators, and to have a consistent partner providing our differing technology needs – from gaming displays to TVs – represents a crucial part of our growth”.
Dan Hastings, VP, TV/AV, Samsung Electronics said: “Samsung is excited to extend its partnership with Guild. Our first year as official display partner has been a huge success and we look forward to providing an even bigger range of products to its creators, and for exciting projects like the HQ and Academy.”

Darts Player Prakash Jiwa Gets Eight-year Ban for Match Fixing
Darts player Prakash Jiwa has been banned from all Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) events for eight years after being found guilty of match-fixing and betting on darts.
The UK Gambling Commission’s Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) supported the investigation by facilitating information gathered in the course of its enquiries.
Following a hearing before the DRA Disciplinary Committee on 21 January 2025, Jiwa was found guilty of fixing four matches and betting on darts. He was found not guilty of obstructing the enquiry.
The Committee has suspended him from playing in or being involved in any DRA-regulated events until 6 November 2031, provided he pays costs of £17,741.46 in full.
There is no suggestion that the other players in these matches were involved.
John Pierce, Commission Director of Enforcement, said: “All betting customers in Britain should have confidence that bets placed with licensed gambling businesses are on markets that are fair and free from betting-related corruption.
“Our Sports Betting Intelligence Unit works closely with partners such as the Darts Regulation Authority to support sporting integrity investigations and combat match-fixing. This decision sends a clear message that betting-related corruption in sport will not be tolerated.”
