Denilson

Denilson, once the world’s most expensive player and famous for his samba-style skills, will use his extensive footballing knowledge to guide Sportsbet.io players to victory across this summer’s most exciting tournaments.

These include this week’s CONIFA Sportsbet.io European Football Cup 2019, UEFA Nations League finals, FIFA Women’s World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup and the Copa America, a trophy he held aloft after helping Brazil to win their then fifth title in 1997.

To celebrate the midfield maestro’s arrival, Sportsbet.io is launching a huge promotion entitled Denilson's Carnival of Cups that will see the famous Brazilian present players with a festival of free bets, price boosts and specials on all the biggest games in June and July.

Loyal Sportsbet.io bettors can win multiple free bets if they predict the winner of the Copa America; double price boosts every day on every match this summer, plus a host of free spins in the Sportsbet.io casino if they opt into Denilson’s exciting Match of the Day specials offer.

Joe McCallum, director of sportsbook at Sportsbet.io, said: “Denilson is one of the most famous faces in football, remembered for his wizardry on the pitch and winning the ultimate prize in the famous yellow shirt of Brazil.

“His footballing knowledge, prowess and personality matches our own fun, fast and fair philosophy and customer ethos, and we’re delighted he’s joined us to launch some stunning Sportsbet.io offers ahead of a fascinating and exciting summer of sport.”
