Trustly hopes to celebrate 10 years in the online payments industry by winning the SBC Global Championship, after its two teams were kept apart in yesterdayโs live draw.
The draw for next weekโs competition at Stamford Bridge (22 May) was made by โTrustly Avengersโ captain (or Trustly Gaming Director) Samuel Barrett and Chelsea legend Graeme Le Saux, who will be playing for โSBC Judgement Dayโ.
The rest of a sizeable Trustly contingent will line up for โThe Vikingsโ, while other teams include the Intertops dominated โEmpire Strikes Backโ and a โClash of the Titansโ side with a trio of OPTIMA representatives.
In total there are 10 teams featuring more than 80 players from some of the sports betting industryโs leading operators, suppliers, affiliates and media organisations.

The five-a-side tournament, played out on the pitch at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea kits, will be officiated by former FIFA and Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher.
Besides the coveted SBC Global Championship trophy, winners will take home fantastic prizes such as a VIP Box day at Stamford Bridge during one of the 18/19 season games.
Meanwhile, the event will feature a pitch-side barbecue after the group phase and an evening social at the Jam Tree, one of Chelseaโs favourite local hangouts.
SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark said: โThe inaugural SBC Global Championship will prove to be a fantastic day of fun, networking, football and food, all rounded off with a few drinks. SBC continues to find new ways to unite and strengthen the industry community.โ
Le Saux added: โIโm particularly looking forward to the SBC event on Tuesday; itโs the first time that most of these guys have been down here. What they will hopefully experience is that feeling you get when you walk out onto your home pitch and there is a crowd, very tight to the pitch and a wonderful surface – itโs a really exciting stage.
โSo, for anybody thatโs coming to play on Tuesday, just think of the people that have played on that pitch. It should make for a really special afternoon.โ
