VALORANT: Riot will allow partnership with bookmakers

In view of the growth of partnerships between eSports organizations and bookmakers, Riot Games must review the policy of prohibiting sponsorship of teams present in official VALORANT championships. As informed by Turkish news agency Esporkolik, the publisher will allow FPS teams to be sponsored by betting companies, which is currently not possible.

The information from the Turkish agency explains that the decision will be reviewed “in the near future”, but it is not clear whether this will be changed for teams that will compete in national tournaments, such as the VALORANT Champions Tour Challengers Brazil (VCB) 2023, and in leagues like VCT Americas.

Bookmakers are listed as one of the prohibited sponsors in the VCT global rulebook, published in 2021.

Other examples of prohibited sponsors are alcohol companies, cryptocurrencies and unregulated financial markets.

The same prohibition applies to League of Legends (LoL) and consequently CBLoL.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Riot Games has a series of protocols related to match fixing and other impacts on competitive integrity.
