Stars raised 100,000 PLN for WOŚP

Five goals, an exciting high-level spectacle, Mazur Radzymin’s 3:2 victory over Tajfun Ostrów Lubelski, and an extraordinary penalty shootout in which Tajfun’s playing president, Mata, outperformed his rap scene buddy, Quebonafide, who played for Mazur. The most important aspect of the event was supporting the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP), for which 100,000 PLN was raised, thanks in part to a generous donation of 30,000 PLN from the main partner, bookmaker Superbet.

Fans of Mata, Quebo, and good football certainly did not regret spending their Sunday afternoon watching the Mazur vs. Tajfun match broadcast on the Meczyki YouTube channel. The match was marked by balanced competition, with Tajfun dominating the first half and Mazur playing better after the break. For the team from Ostrów Lubelski, Damian Maleszyk scored twice, while Bartłomiej Balcer, Maciej Roguski, and Arkadiusz Pisarek scored for Mazur. Maleszyk was close to a spectacular hat-trick, but his beautiful shoot kick hit the crossbar.

Both Quebonafide and Mata played well and were visible on the field. Quebo tore through the defensive lines on the wing, cooperating well with Krzy Krzysztof, who played alongside him. He constantly caused nervousness in the opponents’ defense with his dynamic runs. Mata, on the other hand, started the match as a forward but dropped deeper during the game to create more space for Maleszyk. He showed a deep understanding of the playmaker/withdrawn forward position, controlling the tempo of the action and providing accurate passes to his teammates. Both also supported the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity with their donations. Summing up the funds from Superbet, the artists themselves, and fans who generously contributed to the virtual collection during the Meczyki broadcast, the total amount raised exceeded a round 100,000 PLN!

SPODEK SUPER CUP 2025
Performance

Support for the House of Guardian Angels

The great show was put on not only by the players in the hall but also by the fans of the Spodek Super Cup football tournament. Thanks to their involvement, they raised as much as ten thousand zlotys for the Katowice-based foundation Dom Aniołów Stróżów, which supports young people at life’s crossroads. In the special Superbet zone, they could test themselves on an innovative, modern device measuring strength – a futuristic version of the popular “boxer.”

Superbet challenged them and committed to donating 10,000 zlotys to charity for at least 100 sufficiently strong punches. This goal was quickly achieved, and the strongest football fans also boosted their wallets – the top three shared six thousand zlotys.

“We are very pleased to support such a well-deserved organization for the local community as Dom Aniołów Stróżów in Silesia once again. The foundation of good fun was doing good together, and it worked out great at Spodek. Moreover, our Super Power Cube zone was not the only attraction, just mention the closing concert of Paktofonika or our Supergame: Spodek challenge, where one of the fans won 5,000 zlotys for kicking the ball into the goal from the other end of the field without the ball touching the ground. You could say we rewarded not only muscle strength but also football precision. Above all, we had a great time in this football family and can’t wait for next year’s edition,” emphasizes Katarzyna Gawlik, marketing director of Superbet Polska.

Fans and players together in Spodek chased away the football winter, giving a taste of exciting spring on our fields. Despite the friendly nature of the event, the extremely high sporting and organizational level deserves to be highlighted. “We are impressed and happy to be part of such events. We certainly haven’t said the last word in this regard,” adds a representative of the Superbet brand, which is the main sponsor of both Górnik Zabrze and GKS Katowice, and also supports clubs such as ROW Rybnik, Wisłoka Dębica, and many others across Poland as part of the Superregio project.

Blood donating action with futsal league

Give yourself a gift this Christmas and save a life

Each of us can become a hero and save someone’s life. It’s very simple, it only requires dedicating a few minutes of your time and a little bit of blood. Nothing more. Representatives of FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa and bookmaker Superbet know this very well, and from December 16-19, they will be supporting a blood donation campaign at the RCKiK branches in Łódź and Katowice.

“Any of us could find ourselves in a situation where either we or someone close to us needs blood to continue living. When we think about it this way, it’s easier to find the motivation to visit the Blood Donation Center. We, as Superbet, are well aware of the importance of promoting health initiatives, which is why we gladly accepted FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa’s invitation to support blood donors. This is the first such large-scale social campaign in cooperation with the country’s top futsal league, but I can already reveal that it will certainly not be the last,” says Łukasz Seweryniak, General Manager of Superbet Poland.

Although the mere possibility of saving a life should be enough of an incentive to donate blood, the heads of FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa and Superbet assure that everyone who visits the regional branches in Łódź and Katowice from December 16-19 will be greeted with surprises. “December is undoubtedly a time for gifts, and we have prepared a small one for blood donors as well,” says Seweryniak.

However, the campaign is not limited to giving gifts to donors. Throughout the week, FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa and the clubs will conduct an informational campaign on their social media, promoting blood donation.

“Futsal is not only about sport and competition at the highest level, but also about responsibility for our surroundings and supporting important social initiatives. The blood donation campaign, which we are carrying out together with Superbet, is an expression of our community’s solidarity with those in need. Blood is a gift that cannot be manufactured, which is why every drop counts. The campaign is also accompanied by a week of knowledge, during which we present facts and dispel myths related to blood donation. We believe that education will help break down barriers and encourage even more people to participate,” comments Paweł Mrozkowiak, president of FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa.

“We are proud to support such an important social initiative. We hope that our involvement will translate into attendance at blood donation centers and that together we will be able to save someone’s life. We couldn’t dream of a better Christmas gift,” concludes the General Manager of Superbet Poland.

Incredible Success of an 18-Year-Old chess player from India

India’s representative, Gukesh Dommaraju, has become the eighteenth world chess champion. The youngest world champion in the history of the royal game competed in a tournament in Warsaw in May. “I really like it here and would love to come back,” he said after the Superbet Rapid & Blitz 2024 competition.

The World Championship match took place in Singapore, and for the first time in history, two Asian chess players competed for the title without a European representative. The 18-year-old Indian defeated the defending champion, China’s Ding Liren, in the 14th round, winning 7.5:6.5. Thus, he became the youngest world chess champion in history.

At the press conference after the final round, the new world champion was visibly moved. “When Magnus Carlsen won the world title in 2013, I thought I wanted to be the chess player who would bring this title back to India. I am very happy,” he said.

It is worth noting that Gukesh Dommaraju’s coach is Polish grandmaster Grzegorz Gajewski, who previously worked with former world champion Viswanathan Anand. During the press conference in Singapore, the new champion also thanked his other coaches and sparring partners, including Polish chess players Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Radosław Wojtaszek, and Jan Klimkowski.

Gukesh is another outstanding chess player from Chennai, formerly known as Madras, the same city where Anand, the most famous Indian chess player to date, grew up. This city is probably the most chess-centric in the world, with over thirty grandmasters hailing from there. The new world champion’s father is a surgeon, and his mother is a virologist. Years ago, they sold a large part of their property to support their son’s chess career. Gukesh first sat at the chessboard at the age of seven. It took him eleven years to reach the top, but he also had many successes along the way – in 2018, he became the world champion under 12, and in 2020 under 14. He has been a grandmaster since 2019, becoming the second youngest grandmaster in chess history at that time.

Will Gukesh meet Polish fans in Warsaw? It cannot be ruled out, as he was enchanted by Poland and the organization of the tournament after the last event, as emphasized by his coach. “The Superbet Rapid & Blitz tournament is an excellent promotion of chess in Poland. It’s great that such excellent players can play here. I’m glad we were here, especially since I noticed that Gukesh is handling the growing interest in him and everything happening around him better and better,” said Gajewski. “Of course, he has talent, but everyone at this level does. He is very ambitious, hardworking, and focused on his goal. When you are seventeen or eighteen, it is not easy at all. He just wants to be the best,” added the coach.

It is already known that the world’s top chess players will come to Warsaw in 2025 as well. Next year’s edition of the Superbet Rapid & Blitz Warsaw 2025 is scheduled for April 26-30, and the top grandmasters will once again compete at the Polin Center. The full lineup will be announced in the coming months. In recent editions, almost all of the world’s top chess players have participated, including the recent champion Magnus Carlsen.

Pink Polish Autumn

Golden Polish autumn in October shows its most beautiful, most colorful face. To all the colors that nature delights us with, we can calmly add one more – pink. Because October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the entire campaign associated with it is called Pink October. Superbet joined the campaign and donated 6000 złoty to the  Eye to Eye with Cancer Foundation (Fundacja Oko w Oko z Rakiem).

‘We are pleased that we managed to engage the entire Superbet community. We are convinced that thanks to this, we reached a large group of people and persuaded at least some of them to get tested,’ says Katarzyna Gawlik, Marketing Director of Superbet Polska.

Indeed, the reach of the campaign was spectacular. All partner clubs were involved in the communication – GKS Katowice, GKS Tychy, Górnik Zabrze, Lech Poznań, and Wisła Kraków, representatives of Super Regio, and the futsal league. Additionally, Superbet organized a contest via social media to raise awareness about the fight against breast cancer. As if that wasn’t enough, pink LED bands appeared at the match, and the players of GKS Katowice wore pink armbands.

The center of Superbet’s Pink October campaign was in Katowice. During the match of the GKS Katowice women’s team against Górnik Łęczna, the first edition of Pink October by Superbet took place. For every goal scored by the Katowice players, the bookmaker donated 1000 złoty to the Oko w Oko z Rakiem Foundation. The ladies won 2-0, so the calculation was simple – two thousand złoty went to the foundation’s account.

Additionally, before the match, fans could meet with representatives of the foundation, who had all the necessary information about breast cancer prevention.

But that wasn’t the end, as the GieKSa players invited their club colleagues to compete and challenged them, which they gladly accepted. This time, the men’s goals in the match against Śląsk were valued by Superbet at 1000 złoty. Unfortunately, the GKS Katowice players did not fulfill the task, as they did not score a single goal, but Superbet took the initiative and added 4000 złoty for the 4 points scored in the two teams’ matches, to settle this bet and transferred an additional four thousand złoty to the Oko w Oko z Rakiem Foundation’s account.

‘We hope that we managed to persuade a few women to get tested, which can save lives,’ concludes Katarzyna Gawlik.”

Bullseye! Sports stars and Superbet support paralympians 

The role of the Cupra Padlowe tournament partner, where well-known athletes and journalists competed on padel courts, was an excellent opportunity for us to carry out a CSR action in support of Paralympians. Each participant in the tournament could test their skills in darts, and the number of points scored on the target translated into specific financial support for athletes with disabilities ahead of the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris.

Among the participants of the Cupra Padlowe tournament, there were former representatives of Poland in football, such as Tomasz Kłos and Marcin Żewłakow, as well as figures known from the world tennis courts (including former WTA ranking leader Agnieszka Radwańska and Wimbledon semifinalist Jerzy Janowicz). Superbet, the official tournament partner, decided to seize the opportunity to do something good together and collected funds in a special darts area for the benefit of the Polish Paralympic Committee Foundation. Thanks to the commitment, sharp eyes, and skilled hands of the stars participating in Cupra Padlowe, Superbet donated 15,000 Polish złotys to the Paralympians!

The collected funds will aid in preparations for the most important quadrennial competitions for these Paralympians who lack ministerial grants, increasing their chances of achieving their dream successes. Additionally, they will support the development of young, talented athletes, as well as contribute to the foundation’s efforts on behalf of former Paralympians facing difficult life situations.

‘We thank you for the support; finally, assistance to our Paralympians who will soon compete for medals in Paris is a bullseye. We are pleased that in an Olympic year, Superbet also remembers us,’ says Łukasz Szeliga, President of the Foundation
