The collaboration between operators and sporting figures is a common trend in the gaming industry, with partnerships playing a crucial role in attracting audiences, particularly from the Gen Z demographic. Spribe, the company behind the popular crash game Aviator, recently joined forces with Brazilian sports star Jully Poca to drive engagement and reach younger consumers. In a previous interview with CCO Giorgi Tsutskiridze, influencer marketing and celebrity partnerships were highlighted as essential strategies for connecting with Gen Z consumers, emphasizing the growing importance of such collaborations in the industry.
The ‘Kickoff With The Stars’ event promises to be a memorable and interactive experience for fans of live dealer blackjack and football alike.
