Online gambling company Esports Entertainment Group Inc (OTCQ:GMBL) said Monday that it signed an affiliate marketing agreement with the Global Speedrun Association (GSA), which hosts races on a variety of speedrun games, including Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey across three Twitch channels.

As the first platform to offer betting on speedrunning, this new tie-up with the Global Speedrun Association represents a key advance for VIE.GG, the esports betting exchange, which is run by Esports.

Esports shares jumped 5.6% to hit $0.95 Monday in morning trade.

“Groups like the Global Speedrun Association help raise the standard of production quality and push speedrunning forward. We love speedrunners and we love what GSA is doing,” said Brian Cordry, head of e-sports at the Esports Entertainment Group.

Adams said working together would push speedrunning to “new heights” and help grow the budding sector of the video game industry.

“The key differences this relationship will make are being able to fund larger prize pools for our leagues and tournaments to catalyze higher levels of competition, as well as, attracting and compensating key people that make our broadcasts so entertaining, such as great commentators, video editors and other GSA staff who will be able to increase the output and quality of their productions,” said Adams.

      It seems to me that if you want your brand to be on top, you need to use popular internet platforms for promotion. You know, recently, twitch has taken a leading position in the ranking. This streaming service has a lot of users and it’s growing up every day. It seems to me that your customer will definitely find you. Of course, you need some help of marketing with Twitch influencers and it won’t be cheap. But it’s very effective and modern way of promotion
