Gregory Champagne, CEO of Epsilon eSports, is similarly bullish on the tie-up.

“It is with great pride that today Epsilon partners with VIE.gg. This is a whole different ball game, the first betting exchange platform where players challenge other players,” Champagne said in a statement.

VIE.gg offers bet exchange style wagering on esports events in a licensed, regulated and secured platform. It is the first and most transparent esports bet exchange as a result of Esports Entertainment Group being a fully-reporting SEC issuer in the US.

 Esports Entertainment Group Inc. is a licensed online gambling company with a focus on esports wagering and gaming for adults.
