1xBet names Filipino basketball star Kai Sotto as its newest brand ambassador

Rising Filipino basketball player Kai Sotto has been chosen one of the newest brand ambassadors for international betting business 1xBet in Asian nations such as the Philippines, Japan, China, Indonesia, and Thailand.

According to 1xBet, the agreement would provide Sotto a platform to “promote the popularity of basketball in Asia and assist countless young athletes in pursuing their dreams” in addition to increasing the company’s visibility in the area.

Born in Las Pinas, Philippines in 2002, Sotto is an astounding 221 cm tall. June Mar Fajardo, the Filipino basketball star, and NBA legends Tim Duncan and Kristaps Porzingis are among his sources of inspiration.

Throughout his basketball career, Sotto has represented the Yokohama B-Corsairs in the Japanese B League, the Adelaide 36ers in the Australian National Basketball League for two years, and the NBA G-League in 2019. He also had the opportunity to play for the Orlando Magic in the NBA Summer League and represent the Philippines in the FIBA Basketball World Cup in 2023.

Sotto expressed his satisfaction with the agreement by saying, “I have been watching 1xBet’s success for many years and I respect the company’s commitment to helping young and regional sports.” As an ambassador, I’m thrilled to utilize my platform to promote Philippine basketball both nationally and worldwide. I’m happy to have this collaboration.”

He already inspires many young athletes with lofty goals, which fits in nicely with 1xBet’s purpose to identify potential everywhere. “We are thrilled to be partnering with one of Asia’s most promising basketball stars at this early stage of his career,” a 1xBet representative stated.

The ambassadorial arrangement between 1xBet and Sotto seeks to increase the company’s visibility in Southeast Asia while embodying 1xBet’s global sports marketing approach.
