Launch of the Pinnacle Cup sees Pinnacle Solution deliver exclusive esports betting content to operator partners

The Pinnacle Cup, a ground-breaking esports event featuring top tier CS:GO teams and a prize pool totaling $100,000, kicks off on 3^rd March 2021, with Pinnacle Solution partners set to benefit from an extensive array of exclusive betting content from the month long event.

Esports data giant GRID will build on its existing partnership with Pinnacle, providing live data on every match throughout the event, to be utilised by traders, bettors and fans alike. Online payment provider Trustly is also involved as an ancillary sponsor, while Relog Media will use its expertise in esports production to showcase the high-level competition in its full glory.

The tournament, which will be held online and streamed globally via Twitch, will see some of Europe’s best CS:GO (Counterstrike: Global Offensive) teams battle it out across an initial qualifier stage, with the four winners progressing to a Swiss-format group stage with 12 invited teams, including GODSent and HAVU.

Those who progress will find themselves in a knockout with a further four invited teams, including Fun Plus Phoenix, before the final two compete for the grand prize of $100,000 which will be distributed between the winners and runners up on an 80/20 split.

Pinnacle Solution’s operator partners will be able to leverage exclusive betting content from the Pinnacle Cup, with numerous outright markets, more live selections, as well as a selection of bespoke prop bets across every match up, all underpinned by a market-leading trading team proven to drive esports revenue and engage new customers.

Paris Smith, Pinnacle CEO, said:

“Pinnacle’s drive to be at the forefront of esport, s has allowed us to partner with some of the best people in the market. We are really excited to be working with GRID, Relog Media, and Trustly and can’t wait to deliver something special for our customers and esports fans around the world.

Pinnacle Solution supplies iFrame API to BetConstruct

Betting and gaming services supplier BetConstruct has incorporated Pinnacle Solution’s iFrame sportsbook product into its B2C brand, Vbet.

Vbet, one of BetConstruct’s operator brands, will also utilise the iFrame solution, giving its end users across a number of territories access to a market leading array of betting content, including an award-winning esports betting product.

The iFrame API went live after a short, successful integration and testing period in late 2020 and has already delivered a significant uptick in activity for Vbet.

Paris Smith, CEO at Pinnacle, said:

“This partnership with BetConstruct, covering both its B2B and B2C arms, showcases the flexibility of our Pinnacle Solution sportsbook offering and ability to service client needs, whatever they may be.

“Having seen encouraging early results, we’re confident that this partnership will continue to be a successful one, with BetConstruct proven to deliver results across its own brands, as well as for its B2B partners who can now supply their customers with our market-leading sports betting content.”

Vigen Badalyan, CEO and founder of BetConstruct, said:

“We’re always looking to provide our sportsbook partners and B2C end users with the best products on the market, and leveraging Pinnacle’s best-in-class sportsbook, we can now do this across our entire sports betting operation.”

This partnership brings Paris Smith and Vigen Badalyan together once more, having both been inducted into the SBC Sports Betting Hall of Fame in 2017, and the sharing of expertise between both companies and their leaders is expected to result in a formidable relationship going forward.

B2B supplier takes honour in competitive category at SBC Awards

Pinnacle Solution, the risk management experts, has once again been recognised for its market-leading esports product at the SBC Awards 2020.

Named Esports Supplier of the Year in one of the most hotly-contested categories on the night, which featured 13 suppliers in total, Pinnacle Solution further confirmed its position as the leading esports supplier to the igaming industry.

The supplier was commended for its commitment to a bespoke, player-first approach which allows partners to better engage with the rapidly growing esports market and its various betting nuances.

Coupled with risk management expertise that delivers operators impressive hold, while also offering some of the best prices on the market, Pinnacle Solution’s partners are able to take advantage of a fully-customisable, content-rich esports product suited to their specific needs.

With the Pinnacle Solution trading product taking its first esports bet in 2010, the supplier has long-held expertise in understanding the demanding audience’s requirements, and this has led to esports becoming one of its best performing sports by bet volume.

Marco Blume, Trading Director at Pinnacle, said:

“We’re veterans in the esports betting game, and it’s testament to the expertise we have in the team that our pioneering product has helped us become SBC’s Esports Supplier of the Year.

“Our esports offering, leveraging Pinnacle’s acclaimed trading and risk management expertise, is a proven revenue driver for partner operators and with the esports audience growing at such a pace, we’re ready to quickly assist those looking to tap into it.”

The Esports Supplier of the Year award at the 2020 SBC Awards follows similar wins in recent years at various other industry awards.

Pinnacle Solution has announced a landmark deal with Danske Spil.

Under the terms of the deal, Pinnacle Solution will supply its market-leading esports product to the Danish national lottery operator. This announcement marks a major milestone in the growth of Pinnacle Solution, with its official arrival into the European market. Supplying such a prominent and respected brand like Danske Spil is testament to the quality of the Pinnacle Solution product.

Paris Smith, Pinnacle CEO said:

“We’ve always been confident that there was a gap in the market that Pinnacle Solution could fill and that it wouldn’t take us long to break into the higher reaches of the B2B sports betting industry. The fact that no one comes close to what we offer in terms of esports experience in integrity and expertise in providing profits has been the key to driving our growth over the past few years. We know we can help others take advantage of esports, but they need to understand where the value is and partner with the platform that produces. That’s definitely the case with Danske Spil, who themselves are regarded for their belief in esports.”

Marco Blume, Pinnacle Trading Director added:

“One of the main reasons we’ve seen such growth in esports at Pinnacle is our passion for esports and the belief in its ability to thrive in a sports betting environment. It was clear after our initial conversations with Danske Spil that they are on the same page as us. They’re fully aware of the potential of esports. They have a clear understanding of why our product is so unique and the value it offers. We happened to be the missing piece of the puzzle for them, and we look forward to the success that this partnership will bring.”

Jens Nielsen, Danske Spil Sports Betting Director commented:

”At Danske Spil we have prioritized esports as a focus area since we launched esports betting in early 2014. We very much look forward to our new partnership with Pinnacle Solution, a pioneer within esports betting, which will support our continued ambition of offering a modern and competitive esports offering to our clients."

This is just another step in the growth of Pinnacle Solution and deals similar to the one struck with Danske Spil won’t be too far away for Pinnacle Solution. The tireless commitment to developing our esports product and protecting the integrity of esports has helped Pinnacle Solution find a unique position within the market. While the rise of esports was already following a notable trajectory, the recent COVID-19 situation has only accelerated this growth and magnified the benefits esports betting has to offer for operators.
