Although details of the deal are limited at the time of writing, there is said to be a content component stemming from the collaboration. Additionally, the organisation hinted towards distributing Tinder Gold codes as promotional material; the use of which grants users access to premium features on the application. It also includes a jersey sponsorship.

The union with paiN Gaming marks Tinder’s second esports crossover. The first of which occurred in June 2018 when the social app inked a deal with another Brazilian organisation, MIBR. Merits of its partnership with MIBR included content initiatives, live activations, and campaigns targeting the app’s premium services.

Esports has managed to seduce location-based social platforms to get involved with the space over the last few years. In August 2019, multinational organisation Gen.G flirted with social dating application Bumble in a collaboration which yielded an all-female Fortnite team.

paiN Gaming is also partnered with the likes of BMW, Coca-Cola, Razer, WD BLACK, and TIM Live.

Esports Insider says: With such mirror-like audiences, we suspect more collaborations between social dating platforms and esports are on the horizon. If paiN Gaming and Tinder can activate well together in this partnership, we bet they’ll win over the hearts of their clientele.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
