Matthew D’Emanuele, CEO at Yolo Entertainment, which operates Sportsbet.io, is equally enthusiastic about the signing:

‘It’s a huge moment for us to welcome Tristan into the Sportsbet.io family. He’s an elite athlete who shares our passion for both basketball and crypto, which is why this partnership is such a great fit. We have some exciting projects in the pipeline, so stay tuned!’

More than just a sportsbook: Why Sportsbet.io?

Founded in 2016 under the Yolo Group umbrella, Sportsbet.io has revolutionised online crypto betting by blending top-tier technology with deep cryptocurrency expertise. Committed to providing a fun, fast, and fair gaming experience, Sportsbet.io brings you exclusive sports content through these partnerships:


Through these exciting team-ups, experience over 1 million pre-match events each year, plus comprehensive in-play options!

We are the first crypto sportsbook to introduce a cash-out function and continue to lead both in betting innovation and within the crypto community. In December 2023, a lucky Sportsbet.io player landed one of the biggest online slots jackpots, turning a $50 spin into a $42 million windfall.

Thanks to rapid withdrawal times—often under 90 seconds—Sportsbet.io stands out as one of the most secure and efficient betting platforms in the market. 

This collaboration marks yet another milestone for our platform, known for its innovative gaming approach and its impressive roster of individual ambassadors. Tristan Thompson will join other Sportsbet.io ambassadors who are also legends in their scene, some of whom are 2002 World Cup winner Denilson and Kenyan rapper King Kaka.
