Our companies are aligned in the betterment of horse racing on the global stage, and the critical wagering operations that underpin it. I can boldly say that, in my time in this industry, I have not worked with a better and more skilled group of people than the TJK executives, management, and their entire team, as evidenced by an amazingly clean launch of unparalleled scope in our business. I am proud of the combined teams’ effort; they were truly awe-inspiring. We now look forward to the successes we will continue to have together for many years to come.”

This strategic move allows us to share the thrill and steeped history of Turkish horse racing and wagering thereon to the global racing and gaming audiences.”

We are delighted to have made a seamless transition to a state-of-the-art betting system. By leveraging the power of technology, we aim to offer faster, more reliable, and comprehensive services to our racing enthusiasts. This partnership not only enhances the betting experience within Turkey but also plays a crucial role in marketing the media and wagering rights of Turkish races internationally.

1xBet has signed a partnership with the VALORANT roster of esports powerhouse MIBR, becoming the first-ever official betting partner in the Riot Games ecosystem.
Under this partnership, 1xBet and MIBR will focus on creating a new, immersive fan experience, strengthening the team’s global fanbase, and boosting overall engagement with VALORANT.
MIBR’s VALORANT roster currently includes players from the United States and Brazil. Over the past few years, the team has been a regular competitor in VCT Americas, and in 2025 they qualified for VALORANT Masters Toronto — the only Latin American team to do so. Later that year, MIBR also earned a spot at VALORANT Champions 2025, finishing in the Top 5 worldwide.
Beyond their esports success, MIBR continues to expand its media presence through collaborations with leading Brazilian influencers such as Sacy, producing original entertainment content, and hosting watch parties during major tournaments — all helping the organization remain one of the most talked-about and fan-favorite names on the regional scene.
Among the team’s stars is Erick ‘Aspas’ Santos, widely regarded as a VALORANT legend in Latin America. In 2025, he set the VCT Americas record for the most kills in a BO3 series and became the first player in VALORANT Champions history to surpass 1,000 kills across tournaments (2022–2024). Outside of competition, Aspas is a three-time Prêmio eSports Brasil “Athlete of the Year” winner and a massive fan favorite — during VCT Americas 2024 Kickoff, he became the most-mentioned player on Twitch chats, with over 11,300 mentions.
1xBet is one of the most recognized brands in esports betting, regularly supporting major global tournaments and sponsoring top-tier teams around the world.
Simon Westbury, Strategic Advisor at 1xBet: “This is a historic step for 1xBet — becoming the first official betting partner of an esports team within the Riot Games ecosystem. MIBR features some of the most talented and visible players in Latin America, and together we aim to strengthen VALORANT’s presence across the LATAM region, elevate its appeal internationally, and deliver a unique fan experience for audiences around the globe.”
Raphael Castanheira, MIBR’s Director of Marketing and Partnerships: “Being the first organization in the entire Riot ecosystem to obtain approval for a betting sponsorship is a direct result of how MIBR operates today, as an organized company with robust governance, clear processes, and protected by policies that put competitive integrity at the forefront. ”
