A staple of Esports Insider‘s esports business conferences, The Clutch, will return once again – this time at the upcoming ESI Digital Summit (26-27th May, #ESIDIGITAL).

Taking place on May 26th, The Clutch Digital will welcome esteemed investors to judge four esports startups during the online event.

The Clutch Digital Announcement

Each startup will have an opportunity to pitch, taking to the virtual stage for five minutes before they’re cut off. From there, the panel will quiz and question the company representative before moving on to the next!

The first edition of The Clutch took place at ESI London in 2019, with over 30 companies being whittled down to just nine before the contestants pitched their companies live before a panel of top-tier investors. G-Science left Twickenham Stadium as the winner of the inaugural competition, but who will emerge victorious on May 26th?

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.
