After an impressive start to the new season, Berlin International Gaming (BIG) is announcing another major milestone: PaysafeCard, the popular eCash solution by global payments platform Paysafe, is joining the Berlin-based esports organization as a Premium Sponsor and official Payment Partner. The collaboration spans BIG’s Fortnite, Counter-Strike 2, and Trackmania teams, featuring prominent jersey placement, integrated branding, and community-focused activations. In addition, PaysafeCard will power payments at the official BIG shop, allowing fans to complete purchases easily and securely.
PaysafeCard (paysafecard.com) connects gaming fans with the games, players, and esports teams they care about most, providing a frictionless, secure payment solution to help fans feel confident, in control, and fully immersed in their experiences as they unlock rewards and engage online.
Through the partnership, PaysafeCard will support BIG’s competitive efforts across multiple titles. In Fortnite, BIG recently secured top-tier talent Danila “Malibuca” Iakovenko and has already qualified for the upcoming Esports World Cup, where the organization’s Trackmania team will also compete. In Counter-Strike 2, BIG continues its long-standing commitment to its female roster, EQUIPA, strengthening the lineup with two new signings. The team was recently honored as “Women’s Team of the Year” at the HLTV Awards.
“PaysafeCard shares our commitment to innovation, global growth, and deep roots within the gaming community. Having a globally leading payment provider step into esports is a strong statement,” says Daniel Finkler, CEO of BIG. “Together, we want to go beyond visibility and create real value for our fans, whether through seamless and secure payment solutions or engaging campaigns built around our teams. We thank PaysafeCard for their trust and partnership, as well as Sportive for their strategic guidance and for bringing this collaboration to life. We’re excited for what lies ahead.”
“Gaming and esports have long been part of PaysafeCard’s DNA, and partnering with BIG is a natural extension of how we support the video gaming community,” says Alisa Barber, Chief Marketing Officer at Paysafe. “This partnership is about lifting the experience of fans, bringing them closer to the teams and moments they care about, whether that’s supporting their favourite players, unlocking rewards, or feeling more connected to the esports culture they love. Together with BIG, we’re focused on creating experiences that feel seamless, rewarding and built around how gaming fans want to engage.”
PaysafeCard’s branding will feature prominently on BIG’s jerseys moving forward. The partners will also collaborate on a selection of targeted activations designed to mark the launch of the partnership and engage BIG’s fan base. As part of this, PaysafeCard will introduce a limited-time initiative in select European markets, focused on rewarding fans as they begin using the PaysafeCard solution with gaming merchants. Delivered through BIG’s own channels and supported by PaysafeCard, these activities reflect a shared focus on community engagement and set the stage for further collaborative initiatives over the course of the partnership.
