The UFC has announced a new partnership with Roobet.fun, a free-to-play social casino.
As a result of the deal, Roobet.fun will gain significant exposure through some of UFC’s biggest events and digital platforms.

“Roobet.fun is an innovative online gaming platform that offers an incredibly compelling user engagement experience via a free-to-play social casino. It’s a forward-thinking approach to gaming we believe UFC fans will enjoy.”
The agreement with Roobet.fun will see the firm receive prominent branding in the Octagon at select UFC Pay-Per-Views and Fight Nights and will be featured as a Presenting Partner of select episodes of Embedded, UFC’s all-access video content series featuring top UFC athletes preparing for upcoming events.
UFC and Roobet.fun will also collaborate on a variety of custom and original content that will be distributed across UFC-owned social media channels and digital platforms, which reach more than 243 million users worldwide.
