Global esports organisation Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) has established a new partnership with crypto casino and sportsbook Rainbet. Under this collaboration, Rainbet will serve as the organisation’s main jersey partner throughout 2025.
Partnership Details
The agreement means Rainbet’s logo will be prominently featured across NIP’s competitive roster jerseys and official team apparel. Fans will get their first glimpse of the updated jersey later today when the Ninjas in Pyjamas CS2 team competes in PGL Astana 2025. The financial aspects of this partnership have not been revealed.
According to the organisation, this collaboration represents another strategic move in NIP’s ongoing mission to cement its position as a leading brand in the esports industry.

NIP’s roster of key sponsors also includes prominent brands such as energy drink company Red Bull, apparel manufacturer FILA, and automotive firm BYD.
Founded in 2023, Rainbet operates as a crypto casino and sportsbook under RBGAMING N.V. Beyond traditional sports, the company maintains a dedicated esports section covering popular game titles including CS2, League of Legends, VALORANT, Dota 2, and more. Recently, Rainbet sponsored the Rainbet Cup, an online European CS2 tournament.
