The board of Veltyco Group plc (AIM:VLTY), the online marketing company for the gaming industry, is pleased to announce that the Group has entered into a partnership agreement with Esports Radar Ltd ("Esports"), a newly incorporated company in Malta, focusing on rolling out a new esports business.

Esport is a form of competition facilitated by electronic systems, particularlyvideo games on Playstation, Xbox and PC. Esports is a fast growing industry, with increasing attention globally.

To underline its commitment to the esports industry and to cement its relationship with Esports.com as a company, Veltyco has subscribed for a minor interest in the share capital of Esports for a nominal consideration. Veltyco will use the Bet90 brand as the platform for the future operations of the partnership and for the marketing of Esports.com's gaming products.
