Willemstad, Curaçao, January 21st, 2025, Chainwire – Cloudbet, a leader in crypto sports betting and casino games, has announced an exclusive global partnership with Karate Combat, naming Cloudbet the “Official Online Casino and Sportsbook.” This collaboration will see Cloudbet integrate its betting platform into Karate Combat’s digital ecosystem for all 2025 events, starting with the Lightweight World Championship bout between current Champion, Shahzaib Rind and former Champion Edgars Skrivers on January 24th at KC52, live from Miami.

“For fans, right away this means they can finally bet big on Karate Combat fights,” according to a spokesperson for Cloudbet. “And they can do it using crypto, which just makes sense given Karate Combat’s commitment to Web 3.”
Working together, Karate Combat and Cloudbet will integrate odds and bets into the full digital ecosystem of the sport, from live programming to bespoke betting content. Fans will have access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies for betting, with Cloudbet supporting over 40 different digital assets on its platform, including USDC, BTC, BNB – and HBAR on the Hedera network, where Karate Combat’s own $KARATE token is built.
Says Rob Bryan, Karate Combat Co-Founder, “At Karate Combat, we’ve designed our sport to bring crypto and Web3 closer to the fans. And this partnership with Cloudbet, a leader in the industry for over a decade, goes beyond just betting. Together, we’re creating innovative ways for the global fanbase to engage with the sport they love. From the watch-and-bet feature to stat-tracking for your favorite fighters, this is how combat sports and entertainment deserve to look.”
Empowering Fans with Crypto-Integrated Betting
The price of the deal was not disclosed but, according to Karate Combat’s Chief Commercial Officer, Pete Vesey, the collaboration will feature premium visibility for Cloudbet at Karate Combat events, with logo placements on the iconic Pit Wall, live betting odds integrated into broadcasts, branded fighter standings, and exclusive pre-show analysis. Cloudbet VIPs attending events will get access to exclusive, branded seating and hospitality, along with ongoing, bespoke promotions powered by $KARATE tokens. Bettors will also be able to watch the fights live alongside the odds on Cloudbet.
Says Pete Vesey, Karate Combat Chief Commercial Officer, “And it’s just the start of how we plan to leverage our partnership to transform combat sports entertainment for the community. We’re excited to work with Cloudbet to create new touchpoints that deepen that connection between our fans and action in the Pit. Watch this space.”
The Future of Combat Sports with Crypto
With an expanding global fanbase, Karate Combat has tied combat sports to crypto. Coming soon, Cloudbet will be launching the integration of the $KARATE token betting and real-time odds which will set a new standard for fan engagement, solidifying both brands as leaders in the intersection of sports, technology, and crypto.
